same here caught the last NO score at the end of it and the Vikings miracle comeback with 25 seconds left after they received kick off.
RU OSU game thread
- Thread starter PatrickRU92
- Start date
Back in the old days (which is like 2 years ago) the games were so bad there was no point in discussing the game. So we talked cereal.
Freeman w/ maybe the worse game I’ve seen on the banks: 2pts, 0 rbs on 1-12 shooting w/ lazy defense..
Same team we’ve been all year. Hard working, defensive minded with very little offensive talent. Not sure why anyone is surprised
Unless we are playing MSU or Sston Hall...just need shooters and a few are coming in next year.
Surprised because should be more progress than getting smoked at home.
Kill Souf all you want and he has been very bad at times...but, he may be turning into the best on ball pressure guard on the team.
This is hilarious they are giving Souf ten feet to shoot on the perimeter. I could see doing that with a big man, but damn talk about scouting your opponent to a T. O and thanks for this early season conference schedule B1G. It was killer, good job.
Disagree. As do the announcers who said Rutgers was excellent defensively against an overmatched opponent.
Holding OSU to under 70 points darn good. If only we had offense it would have been much more respectful

exactly....start of second half was bad too. of course will hear about this game all week
We beat Ohio State in the tournament last year. Totally ridiculous to get blown out at home against them.
How can he be incapable of shooting a 3? He's on scholarship. In college. To play basketball. Has he never even played horse?

At some possessions it might have been1 against 5 based on the abysmal shooting percentages in the first half.
Bates Diop is averaging 20PPG and missed most of last year....better coaching, and they have 6 Top 150 kids on their roster....Does anyone actually believe Ohio State doesn't recruit talent??
If they didn't have Bates Diop out and a couple of injuries last year, (mixed with Matta sleepwalking), Ohio State typicaly wins 19-21 games a year.
Last year is last year and the pre-season forecast was not only wrong, they were drastically wrong....this is at worse a 5 seed in the NCAA and will be ranked the rest of the year.
Drawing Michigan State, Purdue and Ohio State twice, is 6 of the 18 games against the Top 3 teams of the league. Iowa up next but is very explosive.
Not sure what to make out of Freeman....he's wildly inconsistent...when he's clicking, he lifts the entire roster....when he's off and not able to score, RU has no chance.
Hopefully the Williams item is truly 3 weeks and he can heal up quickly.

I agree that there must be roster changes in addition to players leaving because of graduation.Its really hard to reconcile Rutgers being a member of the B1G and to see so few players that have B1G level talent.The lack of shooter/scorers is alarming and with the Williams injury wins will be hard to achieve.
The same comment can also be made regarding other players .The inability to recruit and or keep players that can shoot/score has been the biggest problem area for Rutgers going all the way back to Big East competition.Too many fans expect miracles to happen by players over achieving their skillset.
