Let us win this.

 

[Tango Two]

Illinois needs this currently projected last one in by BTN

 

[toby83]

Do they have fans there?

 

[PatrickRU92]

Great start!!!!!!

 

[Jumba72]

Gettys! Good on D too

 

[RUsince52]

Let's freeze it now. Can win by scoring less than 10.

 

[RU Mike73]

Too many TO. Should be up more.

 

[higgins3]

indy ohio state game announcer "Every team but Rutgers can win the big ten tournament"

What a crappy comment. Also, he is s high on Indiana. That is how I know he is not that knowledgeable.

I see Indiana as a bunch of chuckers who are choke artist. They let a very good Iowa team back in after they were up 15. That tells you a lot about a team.

Laurent is completely lost this entire year.

 

[RU Mike73]

Come on guys settle down and protect the ball.

Silly turnovers.

 

[bac2therac]

Well after a great start its been very sloppy..not a good sign

 

[RUsince52]

Just don't want to keep the upper hand when we have the advantage. Illinois is one and done when they miss and we throw up some crappy shots on our end.

 

[koleszar]

Thiam blows

 

[RUsince52]

Illinois has 7 fouls, 8 mins left. Just have to get to 10 and we can make 1 of 2, most of the time.

 

[RshowoffU]

I'm very curious why Thiam plays so much. Omoruyi seems like the better of the two of them yet I feel like he's never on the court.

 

[shields]

Thiam needs to put on weight. Needs to make foul shots.

 

[bac2therac]

Poorly played game on both sides

 

[PatrickRU92]

broken record alert: No one makes shots.

 

[motorb54]

Thiam blows

If he hits the open three Williams doesn't pick up the cheap foul.

 

[RUsince52]

Williams, really stupid foul and in no position to rebound if the shot is missed.

 

[shields]

Get Batie out!

 

[bac2therac]

Our offense just has nothing...not good enough...Illinois taking control

 

[RU Mike73]

Damn Corey make the bunny

 

[toby83]

Laurent is completely lost this entire year.

Hopefully he transfers

 

[RUsince52]

Do we know there is a backboard on 5 footers ?

 

[toby83]

Can Doorson dunk? Serious question.

 

[RUsince52]

Almost doesn't matter if we have an open shot or contested. When we miss, it's badly.

 

[RU Mike73]

Sanders 1 for 9. Yikes.

 

[koleszar]

The announcer doesn't knows us very well does he. This is about average shooting for this group of talent we've assembled.

 

[RU Mike73]

Nice little run

 

[ScarletKid2008]

One of the first games I could say we are definitely getting the benefit of the calls! Feels good actually

 

[koleszar]

Sanders 1 for 9. Yikes.

Sanders drew the short straw today. Seems like only one guy can have a good game at a time. The rest draw the short straws in the locker room before tip off.

 

[shields]

Williams and Sanders have done nothing and we are winning.

 

[PatrickRU92]

well, it's hard to be too disappointed with a lead at the half. I just hope this isn't a replay of every 2nd half !!

 

[bac2therac]

Nice run to end the half and defense is very good but our offense is too spotty for my liking...first 5 minutes of 2nd halves have killed us

 

[shields]

Need to go on run and push lead up.

 

[Ru-baby]

Good half. Nigel's quickness on the push is great to see. Thiam likes to shoot the three, but hes no shooter. Good length on d but the idea of him as a 3 specialist needs to stop.

Would be good momentum to get a last home win

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Can Doorson dunk? Serious question.

That non-dunk was painful to watch. Slam that!

But we're up, so I'll take it.
