Great run!!

 

[RutgersJoe]

Tied up!!

 

[RU848789]

Tied at 34 and a chance for the last shot...

 

[RUAEPI]

Wow....so use to the opposite happening when we lose it the last 2 minutes of the half. Nice to see some fight in this team.

 

[bac2therac]

Tied up at half...Crean going to have coronary

 

[PatrickRU92]

Not going to argue with that half. We'll take it.

 

[Bones131]

This team is fighting...I've been very, very critical of this team but if just a few shots would have fallen RU would have a 6-8 point lead.

I'll take the tie at half, though!

 

[RutgersJoe]

Wow great finish to the half

 

[RutgersJoe]

Those missed layups could come back to haunt us

 

[itsRtime]

Stat of the half, 6 of 6 from the foul line. Even Lewis is 3 for 3.

 

[RUAEPI]

Daniels tried to force another drive at the end of the half. I am sorry, but hopefully he reads this and notices that we score when he dishes on drives. I love his play, just needs to think pass a little more in the moment. Keep up the aggressiveness.

 

[RUAEPI]

Lewis has been playing better. He started the game doing everything wrong. Took a couple outside shots (including a 3) that he really shouldn't have taken. I would like to see him take and hit a few 10 foot shots.

 

[PatrickRU92]

BTW what a HUGE difference, just having on 3point threat on the court right?

It is not coincidence that we have looked better the last 1.5 games.

 

[BillyC80]

The RAC was rockin for that comeback!

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

Indiana is bad defensively and Grier is hitting shots at an alarming rate....both items that I mentioned yesterday in a separate thread were possibilities to keep RU in the game.

We don't need 30 points out of Grier, but 15 first half points with Sanders and Williams not making shots and game is tied. Gotta keep Indiana below 75 points to have a chance to win game, I don't think RU has a 45 point half in them.

 

[BillyC80]

All props to Grier. His shot-making is showing his teammates they can compete.

 

[Local Shill]

They'll come out breathing fire. Gotta match their intensity. I fear a quick 8-0 run out of the break.

 

[soundcrib]

I already expect Williams to not make baskets. Would rather see Goode.

 

[RU848789]

I already expect Williams to not make baskets. Would rather see Goode.

Seriously? At least Williams plays good defense...

 

[RutgersJoe]

Man, rough day for Sanders

 

[RUAEPI]

But nice day for Grier!

 

[RutgersJoe]

There ya go Corey!

 

[RUAEPI]

44 - 43 RUTGERS

 

[itsRtime]

Sanders another point blank missed layup. Will be our downfall.

 

[PatrickRU92]

we HAVE to find some shots for Goode somehow because if he's not an offensive threat then he can't be on the court because defensively he's killing us. Can't we get him open??

 

[soundcrib]

Should have been a Lewis dunk/layin from Sanders.

 

[TruJerz_rivals]

Get Goode out of the game. Silly fouls, bad defense, no confidence on offense. I'm critical of Bishop Daniels but he looked good in the first half..he should be the 1st guard off the bench on this team

 

[TruJerz_rivals]

oh and BTW how about Grier, he's a player no matter the competition. He has a high BBIQ. Gets open and takes shots he knows he can make

 

[PatrickRU92]

Man that big white dude on IU is good. Hes tough underneath and can shoot the rock.

 

[RUAEPI]

54-44 Indiana. Easy shots and bad turn overs by us.

 

[RutgersJoe]

Ouch.

 

[soundcrib]

Can't finish

 

[itsRtime]

Get Foreman out of there, totally forcing it.

 

[PatrickRU92]

ah frack. Shooting shooting shooting its all about shooting. They can, we cant:chairshot:

 

[TruJerz_rivals]

Goode is scared out there. Take him out. Look at his body language..he wants no part of the action. Despite the lack of depth, not sure what Eddie sees in him that he'd get in over Daniels...

 

[RU848789]

Missed layups, poor boxing out and IU is quickly up 10. Damn. Wish we had a full team - think we're getting a bit tired...

 

[bac2therac]

Just like that 54-44...game getting away..does this team have a run in them

Goode should not have been playing..bad decision-making. .an rRutgers reverted back to poor iq and missed opportunities

 

[itsRtime]

Goode can't be on the floor, why isn't Daniels first off the bench.

 

[LSRF]

Is DJ Foreman not in shape?

 

[RU MAN]

It's about time EJ called a TO. It's amazing how quickly this team can go from playing good team ball, to ****** playground out of control ball on both sides of the court. What got them back into this game was good fundamental TEAM BB on both ends of the court. Now, they're not blocking out and giving IU three or more chances on O and on our offense, they have suddenly thought that trying to drive through three players is smart BB.
