quite a marked change in pace of game...its bigly to RU's advantage...keep it in the 60s

CJ

Like I really want to hear what Mike Greenberg has to say here...

Is this the Mike Greenberg hour? Enough already.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Ok. So they make some mistakes. Doesn't make them awful.

You must be trolling at this point.

 

[PatrickRU92]

wow!!! Keep it up fellas

 

[sport2231]

LOL

They are saying the wrong players names. They are saying a guy scores a basket when he's not even on the court. It's been at least 4x already.

Ok. Maybe it's tough to see. I don't know. IMO I have heard a lot worse

 

[RU848789]

CJ with 8/8 - nice.

 

[koleszar]

Now that's how you foul Doorson. Don't let him get the shot off.

 

[sport2231]

Got to be careful with the fouls. We know what type of disadvantage we're at in a FT competition

 

[RU848789]

Sorry, these guys are the worst, maybe ever - so many mistakes...and compounded by having to listen to the Mike G show and have to see him on screen instead of the game.

 

[RUJMM78]

Critical stage with Rutgers excessive fouling.It could be the difference in the last 5 minutes.Rutgers leads 47-44.

 

[RUsojo]

Are you kidding me!?!?? Trying an alley oop in traffic! Then give up a wide open 3 in transition, an offensive rebound, and then easy look with a good must foul. Losing plays!

 

[RuBird]

Getting tired of listening to the one female fan screaming. It is like she is getting felt up by Edward Scissorhands

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Enough with Greenberg!

 

[RU848789]

Get him off the friggin' screen!!!

 

[bac2therac]

4 points for Northwestern in 7:30

 

[sport2231]

It's like our players are feeling the upset and getting nerves with some of the strong shots

 

[bac2therac]

how long are they going to keep that douchebag on the play by play...holy crap

The announcers suck so bad they've let Mike Greenberg take over the telecast.

 

[RUsojo]

That was ridiculous but i thought it was a solid interview. Northwestern is the lead story going into this one so I'm not surprised Rutgers isn't being highlighted. Is what it is.

 

[ScarletKid2008]

The look of disgust and concern on Mike Greenbergs face as they cut to commercial is why I will call this the most satisfying game of the year THUS FAR

 

[bac2therac]

RU winning this game because of rebounding.....32-21

Northwestern has made only 2 baskets this half, RU has taken almost twice as many shots this half as the Cats have

 

[sport2231]

Maybe I just have a higher tolerance for announcers in basketball because I am more familiar with the game and don't pay as much attention to them. For football, I like them to be good as I never played and don't understand the nuances of the game

 

[RUJMM78]

Its up to Sanders and Johnson to keep Rutgers in the lead.They have to learn how to win.

 

[RUsojo]

Freeman is a offensive black hole. Wasted. Possessions.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Corey's patented bank shot!

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Nigel will make both of these.

Edit: Almost.

 

[RU848789]

I hate to even say it, but we're going to have to hit FTs down the stretch here...

 

[bac2therac]

7 points in 11 minutes for Northwestern..wow..great D tonight

 

[RU Mike73]

I could cry over this FT shooting

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Learning how to draw fouls!! I am loving this development!!

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Missed first half but I am watching the 2nd and enjoying it.

 

[ru75]

up 6

 

[PatrickRU92]

well here we go

 

[80RU]

Such a great move by Johnson should result in a better shot.

 

[NJDOVES]

Loving it!!!!!!!

 

[shields]

Finish the job!!

 

[bac2therac]

this game was headed for the upper 70s on the first half pace and now is heading into the upper 50 to low 60 range...Huge huge job by the defense tonight in the 2nd half flummoxing the Cats...offense is sort of sputtering but RU doing all the other things to keep them in the lead. This game has a Wisconsin type feel to it so hopefully they can learn from the mistakes of that game

 

[RU848789]

Up 52-46 with the ball at the under 8 TO. Need to close this one out. Need to avoid bad turnovers and bad shots, keep playing strong defense and hit some freakin' FTs.

 

[RUsojo]

It's almost like the offensive effort gave them more energy on the defensive end the second half.
