Hmm ... 3 absolutely wide open 3s, all misses, but somehow get 3 offensive rebounds (height), and then get a layup (height) and an and-1 ... maybe we should STOP shooting 3s and GO INSIDE !!

the defensive intensity in this game is lacking....20 points for Buffalo already, they have a midget on their team. I am expecting a win today. Buffalo does not have the athleticism at all, does RU have the mental focus though to win without making stupid mistakes

how could a player leave the team on the eve of the NCAA tourney, I realize that she was a grad transfer but good lord, what the ****, what kind of behavior is that

one argument for stop taking so many transfers

Entertaining first quarter ... Buffalo handling the 55 easily ... seems to be the same pass pattern each time ... Buffalo hits an ugly banked three before the end.

Confident RU will come back. Lots of time.

Only at Rutgers can a season start with a 2-game jump on the entire conference halfway through the schedule, and end with THREE ! (3) players gone off the team and a disastrous end

Rutgers defense missing in action.Buffalo leads 34-30. Dillard has four 3 pointers.

I'm sure she had a good reason. Considering we are short handed, the defense looks good. Considering the way they shoot, we are only 4 down. And that is bad defense?

Down 36-32 w 5 min in half. Buffalo is a great shooting team. RU hitting too, but missing some layups as well.

T Mack ice cold isn't helping.

Both teams are playing poor defense.Buffalo playing harder for loose balls.Arantes on bench with 2 fouls.Buffalo leads 36-33.

Just setting my DVR to record the game, and realizing that it is listed as “whip around coverage” between four games. is there anywhere to see the game in its entirety?
You can watch it on the ESPN app

9 points in 9 minutes...this is more like it...better defense and RU controlling the tempo

Buff w the last sec buzzer shot AGAIN !!! damn

RU still up though 43-41. Our bigs are losing too many balls underneath and missing layups. n.
And we are missing too many foul shots.

Yet we are winning !!!! 43- 41

And the Rutgers guarantee buzzer beater strikes again. We’ve reached the saturation point, other teams will now hit it every single quarter against us.
