Rutgers-Michigan Game Thread

For starters, his defense was OK tonight and certainly better than Geo's defense. If I was going to question anyone playing tonight it would be Geo, who was absolutely awful, and for the second consecutive game we've got Doorson covering a guy who killed us from three.
We will really see it next game against Illinois...their guards are super quick and they love to pressure.
We were allergic to the backboard tonight. We must have missed 8 shots from within six feet because we didn’t use the backboard.
Good effort against a probable sweet 16 or maybe elite 8 team. Little things you could pick on (missed chippies, a few turnovers, a couple of ref's calls), but they fought the whole way. Props to Shaq D, and EO in particular. No problems with Coach's decisions on playing time.
Been saying this all year. Seems like a GREAT teammate and leader.
He's had a lot of bad games in the last month and two absolutely awful games back to back. He's made a lot of poor decisions, shot it poorly, and trailed his man on nearly every screen. That's just the way it is.
For starters leadership...secondly experience.
Third and most important his role is entirely different than Caleb who gets to play without any pressure to do about 5 different things
Caleb is a role player right now. He is doing that role solidly enough but careful when you project a greater role from
You were the dame poster who also threw Mathis under the bus after 2 bad games
Relax and stop projecting lineups for next year
The difference in this game was that Michigan had scorers at every position while Rutgers was limited to inside scoring primarily from Eugene with 21 points.At the same time Rutgers must have missed at least 7 shots around the basket which was critical because the Michigan lead was always around 10 points.It was a exciting night with a sellout crowd supporting the team, Bottom line the Rutgers offense lacks having even one consistent outside shooter which means the team simply won't score enough points to match baskets against a outstanding coached Michigan team.
Beilen just said the same thing in the post game comments....Geo was the primary focus. That's one of the reasons I am looking forward to Young...another guard that can create his own shot and a passer like Mulcahy. Geo needs to be off the ball next year.
Our big guys only use it on almost uncontested layups or put backs. But the bigger issue is that they really don't have a normal shot from 6-7 feet. Can't shoot or fake on the move. It's probably the same in practice too.

Yep we don't have shooters. It's no coincidence we're last in the big ten in free throw percentage. Our inside game is pretty good though as we had a huge chunk of points in the paint. If you just add 1 or 2 shooters we win these games
Which is not typically what you think of when someone transfers as a 4 star. Hard to not fantasize about what this team looks like with PM and Young
