Rutgers vs Iowa / Game Thread

[koleszar]

**** **** ****. Lead gone and now 2 on Harper.

Edit: my lead call worked. we lead by 1 Yeah against #21. I'll take it.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

You kidding me.

 

[BillyC80]

Gene out of position on that rebound, damn.

 

[MADHAT1]

reading this thread: one minute it looks like whoa is us and next minute way to go ( insert name here).[jumpingsmile]

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

I'd like to argue that foul (but cannot) .. so close to being only ball.. but he wasn't vertical.

 

[RUsince52]

Bad foul with one second, no box out at all. Too bad for us.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Those points are gonna haunt us....

 

[bac2therac]

Needed that 3....rutgers struggling against iowa zone so adjustments necessary at half.

Iowa struggling against Rutgers D...Fran making adjustments too at half

 

[AreYouNUTS]

**** **** ****. Lead gone and now 2 on Harper.

lol it’s only 2...at the half...taje a breath

 

[bac2therac]

Those points are gonna haunt us....

Costly..play great D but didnt go for rebound

 

[RUsince52]

Still playing OK. Keep it up half #2.

 

[BillyC80]

Dogfight.

 

[BillyC80]

RU up at the half, 33-32. Not bad. D has been outstanding.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

We’re going to need someone else to get hot in the second half; can expect Harper to keep hitting like that.

 

[bac2therac]

Defense is tremendous but worrying about the last few minutes struggling vs ball pressure

 

[RUHouston]

I’ll take an identical performance in the second half and win by 2....

We struggled vs the press with carter and doorson both in but we were fine when it was Gene and Myles

 

[PatrickRU92]

Costly..play great D but didnt go for rebound

Gene got lost on the box out, he looks like he lost his balance and fell back a bit and let the Iowa man into the lane

 

[RuBird]

The rescue dogs have caught more passes then all of our WRs combined. Just sayin’

 

[bac2therac]

The stats in this game a basically even...RU has Two more treys and 3 less turnover..iowa has a few more made ft

I was on one of Iowa's sites, and one of their resident idiots said Harper is playing out of his mind, but the truth is he couldn't start for most D2 programs. This is the ignorant sh*t I can't stand from other B1G fanbases.

 

[bac2therac]

It will take a full 20 minute effort to win. Iowa is so explosive and won't lay down

The truth is, Iowa residents couldn’t get into most D2 institutions.

Feels like even in half’s where we clearly outplay the other team, we never manage to build much of a lead. Seems to be happening again tonight

Yes, we’re playing at very high level to be up just one.

 

[RUwishbone]

its a team game either we go down together or rise up

 

[BillyC80]

There isn’t a B1G coach that wouldn’t love to have a freshman like RHJ, including Fran.

 

[bac2therac]

Bohannon just 3 points

actually not true at all.. they take education seriously. doesn't mean they don't have their share of butt-heads.. they do. Their wrestling fans are particularly objectionable.

 

[bac2therac]

Yes, we’re playing at very high level to be up just one.

Its how the top of league plays every night. To win you have to earn it...this isnt like beating Cuse in the Big East
Rutgers might play their best game and still lose tonight

[BillyC80]

While I hope it doesn’t happen, we know there’s a decent chance we’ll be playing from behind at some point in this half. Can we respond?

We’ve answered the call before. Let’s see what this team is made of.

 

[RuBird]

Iowa coach’s side job is the town crier. Should get a sponsor ship deal with Kleenex

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

NJ native Jim Spanarkel doing the game on TV

 

[BillyC80]

Oh boy, Doorson really should try to bank in those FTs at this point.

 

[PatrickRU92]

FWIW Iowa guy slapped the backboard. No T

 

[BillyC80]

No travel?

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Here we go with the Iowa 3 pt barrage.

 

[phlop87]

**** **** ****. Lead gone and now 2 first 4 minutes are super important

 

[BillyC80]

Another Gene charge taken.
