Only Rutgers fans would complain after their first Big Ten road win against a hated rival who already beat us at our place.

I was just telling my wife she'll need to get a home defibrillator if we ever actually play for something important because I was just jumping around like we won the NC
My wife actually woke up from a nap(my screaming caused the arousal) came up stairs during the timeout with 9.9 secs. I looked at her and said you better go back down stairs. She saw the TV screen and said "O ****" and ran back down.

I know what you mean.

I jumped up and yelled, "WE WON!!!" and like happens all too often, felt what seems like a blood vessel pop in my head.

I told my daughter if I die, at least I'll be happy.

Someday, Rutgers athletics is going to kill me!

there is nothing bad about this win...do not dwell on losing that lead, what is important is they did what they had to do to win. Thats what it is about. It was a success in closing it out. Team had to learn how to do it. Wisconsin they failed, today they succeeded, thats all you need to look at

Talk about an emotional roller coaster the last couple of minutes. I think I broke my record for 'WTF' over such a short time frame to jumping up from my jumping from my chair in joyous screaming at the same time! This team will try you but they play hard. Mike Williams in Amboy net the trees has become my favorite player. What a frwaking working class guy! I think we finally learned how to win. Let's keep it going against Ohio State and Minnesota! G eat win on the road!

Our depth at gaurd is really bad. Nigel is hurt and we got Dadika in there who is absolutely not even a remote threat to even shoot the ball. Never mind score

He passes though. A point guard is first a facilitator. The ball moves well when he is on the court.

Not expecting him to lit it up. Just keep the flow.

I could never imagine watching the game and this thread at the same time.


It would defeat the purpose of what you watch a game for.

I was not home to watch the game and am now reading this entire thread which clearly shows the emotions of being a Rutgers fan.Nothing comes easy in winning games and there were many moments where fans clearly believed PSU might pull out the win.Failure to maintain leads has been a ongoing issue mainly due to poor decision making in handling the ball and poor foul shooing .The fact Rutgers was able to get its first league road win is a great achievement .Scoring 70 points without Johnson playing is another accomplishment that is worth noting.Coach Pikiell truly is a miracle worker getting this team to win a game on the road after the abysmal performance at home against Iowa.
