Fantastic win boys. Great effort. Congrats Coach Pike, staff and players.
yes, now tell me this team doesn't have heart and Corey isn't the heart and soul of this team .
We deserved this. We've lost so many close ones, it was nice to finally win one. Great hustle and heart, as usual, and we finally made some shots late and stepped up the D. Kept saying this one was winnable.
Sanders has been great in every big win we’ve had. Thiam helped down the stretch tonight but everyone compliments Corey. He had the eye in this one. Praying he comes back.
So much for “Thiam’s career being over”, “We’re better without Corey” posts lol
Great win. I also hope that some posters can stop the “move on from Corey” nonsense. RU doesn’t win this game without him. I feel great for the team !
OMG, I wanted to throw up all through that game at NW last year with him getting more face time than any non-player at a game ever. Hope he's crying somewhere.
Goes 3 for 3 with (2)3's and 2 FT's after your comment.
With 12-minutes left you throw in the towel? What a teammate you must have been LOL!
Yes, he's inconsistent at times, but he was and is our best player and it's not even close. Never understood all the venom for Corey. Great game.
...and Dreyfus. My Lord you probably didn't know what a basketball was before your step-son(?) picked one up.
Incidentally we ended the Seton Hall game on a 17-2 run, too.
Plus they didn't make any shots and we got the rebounds. Makes such a big difference at the end.
My son was in the first row right behind the RU bench (tall kid with dark hair and glasses). I think he was the good luck charm we needed!
Corey is the player of the game, no doubt about it. But Thiam was awesome down the stretch, Sa with strong defense, Omoruyi with hustle and a big drive to the bucket in OT... the whole team stepped up down the stretch to win it.
Thiam with 8 boards tonight, two steals, one block, 10 pts. Great line.
Only 8 turnovers for the team tonight, with 8 steals and 5 blocks. Defense!

Appears Rutgers made their 3 pointers as soon after I was criticizing them. Ha.
Great game though. Electric atmosphere towards the end.

I admit I stopped listening when we went down 6 (from down 1) with less than 1 min to go. I checked ESPN a few min later and saw it was in OT and was like... WHAT???
Lol, heard every point we scored in OT. Great come back. Sanders has GOT to come back. With some more scoring help and more a seasoned Gene, Geo, and Duke a long with Sanders as a senior, we can win some damn games next year and shoot for the NIT.
Droves of "fans" left down 6 with a minute left
Hope they enjoyed giving up the evening to go to a game only to have to listen to the win on the radio on the way home.
But at least they beat traffic...
Where did that guy Jimmy Jack go? Ever notice how some posters are all over the place when there's a lot to crap on but then quiet in terms of giving praise or credit.
Of course. And I'm the opposite. I usually only come to the board when we win, play well, or in the off season. I just hate reading the anger and sadness.
