RU vs Illinois 2/20/21 Game thread

[ScarletteK80]

High noon @ The RAC. Hopefully, everyone gets some good minutes in. Of note, game is on B1G TV, not BTN+.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Tyia came out injured in 1st couple of minutes. Hope nothing serious. RU up 16-10.

 

[shields]

Arella a little sloppy with ball. Johnson is very good.

 

[ScarletteK80]

20-13 end of 1st. Tyia back in.

She’s back. Looked like Illinois player stepped on her foot.

 

[ea_1]

~50% shooting 1Q. Nice.

 

[rob kight]

~50% shooting 1Q. Nice.

And 8 steals in 1st Quarter

 

[ScarletteK80]

RU up 30-15. Arella is well Arella. Diamond no slouch.

 

[ea_1]

RU up by 17 with over three minutes left in the first half.

 

[ea_1]

Diamond and Arella in double digits first half.

 

[ea_1]

Three!

 

[ea_1]

How much of Illinois' 1-6 is poor shooting vs. good defense?

 

[ea_1]

Let's see the frosh in the second half.

 

[ScarletteK80]

She has had a bunch of frosh in already. They haven't even been playing RU ball yet. End of half 41-22.

 

[ea_1]

Meant entire line-up at same time. Give Guirantes/Mack/Singleton/Gilles rest.

Boy the men could use both arella and diamond

 

[ScarletteK80]

55-27 in explosion in P'way. They still haven't broken a sweat yet.

 

[ea_1]

Not a basketball game but a dance contest.

 

[Rutgers56_rivals]

What a pass from Diamond to Singleton. I mean, wow. She’s so good for any year, not just for a freshman.

 

[ea_1]

Thirty-point lead. Plenty of cushion for the upperclass(wo)men to cheer from the bench.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Starters all out, let's see what the bench will do.

 

[ea_1]

Freshman five!

 

[ea_1]

Well, rest of the freshman five.

 

[ea_1]

Woot!

 

[RU MAN]

Twenty-nine point win! WOW! I realize it's Illinois, but still WOW!

 

[ScarletteK80]

Congrats to Aicha Ndour on getting to play in her 1st game at RU.

[ScarletteK80]

Crazy stat, we were 4-4 from charity stripe, and Ili was 19-24? Think about that for a moment.

 

[MADHAT1]

Twenty-nine point win! WOW! I realize it's Illinois, but still WOW!

Add only 4 free throws by Rutgers in that WOW and none by the starters

 

[ruclass76]

Crazy stat, we were 4-4 from charity stripe, and Ili was 19-24? Think about that for a moment.

The starters who played 137 minutes combined did not even ATTEMPT a single free throw. Don't think I ever saw that before at any level of basketball, men or women. Is that a first?

 

[wngarbarini]

ABBA is my favorite group so thanks for that.

 

[rudad02]

Another good win. Congrats Ladies! Go RU!

Illinois is not in the same league as RU and I actually think this was the least sharp RU's looked since the "break," but the team played well nonetheless. Even though Tyia didn't make her mid-range shots today I think they are good shots for her to take.

Big news from the broadcast was that Coach Eatman apparently said Zippy *could* be cleared for next week--thought cleared for what was unclear--running/praticing/playing.

I thought I heard them say cleared for running
