Michigan State leads 24-11.Williams has 7 points for Rutgers.Too many 3 pointers by Michigan State.

this is just a bad matchup...probably the worst we will have, keeping it under 30 will be the challenge

You know if we just had snipers we'd have that necessary threat for a true Princeton offense. We have decent back door principles.

You watching the game?


hey great offensive effort by RU but we aren't in this game..our defense is bad and they are getting open looks...and that's okay, its Michigan State, I have no illusions about this game being a game to judge the program on

I can agree this...I like that coaching by Eddie with these plays BUT we don't have those snipers and its not that easy to get them so its easier said then done

B.S. flagrant on Lewis, MSU guy put his head down and charged into him.

That was a horrible call. We're "competitive" but how much of that is MSU coasting a bit? So much better with Laurent back. Haven't paid much attention lately - any chance we get Freeman back?

really like our effort and our defense got better toward the end of the half...biggest takeaway for me in this half is the confidence level...RU isn't intimidated especially on the offensive..to me that's big improvement over crapfest efforts against Purdue and Nebraska.

If DJ could shoot free throws we could have had it down to 6. Then Forbes bangs a 3.. Killer 5 or swing

Also all the MSU players look like they hit the weights, RU needs to do better in weight room.

when guys are that hot and in that much a groove shooting 3's we are lucky to be where we are.
The stuff that always kills us in Foreman not making at least the front end of the 1-1 there and those last two bricks.

But at least we are representing and playing hard. They are #12. As long as we play hard and with pride... keep it up fellas.

Doesn't make sense why hair on fire is playing with Williams on the bench.
At the last minute and half, DANIELS misses a layup , DJ misses a one and one , and I did not see who went for the stupid steal at the end and missed and left Forbes open for his 6th three of the half. Put Mike on him the entire second half. Instead of being down 6 , down 11 bc of those 3 easy plays.

Michigan State came out playing about hard as team can play, flying around, slapping the floor on defense, knocking down threes, please do not tell me you think they are coasting. Give our team and coaches some credit.

Per the WCTC announcers Hobbs and other Rutgers officials touring Michigan State facilities.Hopefully,there is some rich donors in Michigan that support Rutgers.Wishful thinking!
