Rutgers-Northwestern Game Thread

[bac2therac]

What? This should have been an easy win down the stretch. Terrible play with poor coaching.

you are being way too hard on Pike and the team...Nwstern made alot of plays..thats why they are NCAA bound and RU is a bottom feeder

 

[RutgersPurple1997]

Nice too see the old Mike Williams out there....

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

This loss is on coach

Our D sucked during the last 3 minutes.

 

[RUsince52]

They get 2 good looks from 3 in between a missed rebound and they go down. We don't get a good shot and of course miss. Looks like same, same.

 

[RU848789]

Really thought we were going to close this one out after we hit 4 straight FTs and then the dagger was Williams miss on the front end when we were up 4 - can't miss that one, just can't.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

We also have no leaders. Worse choke than the Wisconsin game.

 

[RUsojo]

Winners make the front end of a 1 and 1 up 4 with 2 minutes to go. Nothing to do with good shooter or bad shooter. Winners close out strong. It's confidence either you have it or you don't.

 

[RutgersJoe]

omfg

 

[RUTrack94]

Not enough a shot attempts ... RU is cursed

 

[RUJMM78]

Sanders loses the ball, tap city for the game.

 

[PatrickRU92]

oh FML. :uzi:

 

[bac2therac]

ugh...timeout for that...we need a leader at the end of games..we do not have one

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Wow. Just fvcking wow.

 

[RC85]

Corey turnover

 

[DHajekRC84]

glad I am not watching , my heart just can't take seeing what I am reading here..same end game **** every time. lessons learned? none.

 

[bac2therac]

thats what RU should have been doing earlier...Sanders to rim...two 3s taken one with 1:20, the other at 55 seconds...cannot do that

 

[RUJMM78]

67-65 . 3 seconds remaining ,Northwestern ball.

 

[RUBand]

SMH

 

[RU848789]

We should have at least 5 B1G wins this year, which is what many of us were predicting after the OOC schedule. Just keep choking away wins at the end. It's brutal to watch, yet also incredibly encouraging at the same time. Killin' me.

 

[RUTrack94]

Another moral victory ... At least we aren't seeing the 30 point blowouts as often.

 

[BillyC80]

Two key plays down the stretch. Missed 1 and 1 and not getting a defensive rebound.

 

[ru75]

deja vu all over again

 

[RU Mike73]

I cannot continue to watch any more games. We continue to piss away wins with lack of basics. Love the effort but can't watch guys that can't make critical FT.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Outscored by 10 in the last three minutes, same as Wisconsin. At least we made a game of it, but I hope people are starting to understand what it means to have a "culture of winning." It isn't merely about winning, it's about believing at the end of games that you can win. We are too young yet.

 

[RickB113]

This is our worst loss of the year. Disgraceful and poorly coached. Should have won easily.

 

[RUTrack94]

Man ....how do we continue to lose 83% of our games in the B1G

 

[JeepGuy999]

Free throws!!!!! (cut and pasted from every game thread this year)

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Two key plays down the stretch. Missed 1 and 1 and not getting a defensive rebound.

add an unforced turnover to that meltdown

 

[RUJMM78]

Another game where Rutgers had the lead in crunch time and couldn't hold the lead.Northwestern wins 69-65

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Sanders saw NBA $$$$ on that dribble turnover

 

[superfan01]

I'm sick.

 

[RutgersPurple1997]

Lets get drunk everyone....

 

[soundcrib]

Dreadful

 

[bac2therac]

Northwestern had 7 points in first 13 minutes of half and then 23 points in last 7 minutes

 

[koleszar]

This sucks, this team sucks down the stretch. So fvcking disgusted right now. They've learned nothing in these close loses. Sanders to the NBA my ***.

 

[bac2therac]

This is our worst loss of the year. Disgraceful and poorly coached. Should have won easily.

THIS IS SO ******* WRONG

 

[RUTrack94]

EBR ... Everyone beats Rutgers

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

Eventually this oh so close **** must end.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

This is our worst loss of the year. Disgraceful and poorly coached. Should have won easily.

Pikiell kept us in the game with his coaching! We have no talent! THAT'S the problem.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

This is our worst loss of the year. Disgraceful and poorly coached. Should have won easily.
