Rutgers vs Iowa / Game Thread

[RUTrack94]

Laying an egg v PSU is now even more disappointing

Just think … if RU beat DePaul, UMASS and Lafayette than RU is 14-3

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Wasn’t a close shot. But we need to figure out how to guard those full length court passes.

 

[GM]

Don’t let the second to last play mess with this result too much, incredible defensive performance from us.

 

[mildone_rivals]

We got a big break from the refs. That foul call never gets called.

 

[rob kight]

Besides winning the best news is Cliff is OK

 

[rtabachk]

I can’t believe we got that call lol nice to be on the right side of that for once

No Bo Boroski....that's why

 

[greenknight]

Hard fought game they balled out!! If they could make a layup they win by 25

 

[Salvi's Headband]

I cannot believe we screwed up that baseball pass defense AGAIN against Iowa. In fact it was even worse this time. Just lucky he missed

 

[Scarlet Beach]

I was at that game in Piscataway when Iowa won it at the last second. Watching from my place tonight, I was so afraid it would happen again. Thankfully, RU found a way to win ugly tonight!

 

[bac2therac]

Fran is a great coach..play was fantastic

 

[RU Mike73]

How the hell am I supposed to sleep now?

 

[rufeelinit]

Not sure I can recall a better defensive effort.

 

[RUforester72]

Where’s my ventilator?

Stop. Look at the positives. We’re still winning the other games we need to win so far

 

[rtabachk]

Just think … if RU beat DePaul, UMASS and Lafayette than RU is 14-3

I mean even 2 of those....I don't even care about the DePaul loss and PSU not great but UMass and Lafayette are just daggers

 

[Danprusa_4]

Not sure I can recall a better defensive effort.

Couldn’t agree more some of the best defensive game I’ve seen them play thus far and that’s a ton of games to compare too

 

[ScarletteK80]

How the heck did the score end up 48-46?

Told you guys, 1st to 50 wins.

 

[mikeyoc]

How the heck did the score end up 48-46?

Those were common scores before the advent of the 3-point shot

 

[rtabachk]

Stop. Look at the positives. We’re still winning the other games we need to win so far

We have to win next 4 because next 7 we could really end up 0-7.

 

[rob kight]

Again we got lucky on our last possession with Geo and Ron dribbling the clock out

 

[mildone_rivals]

GG.

The refs can suck dick in hell

Was a **** call. No doubt. We’ll take it. But a really bad call.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Paul screwed that up

He really, really almost lost the game for us.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

After TO:
1) Cliff slam
2) Any Ron shot

Shockingly got exactly this. Cliff slam followed by 6 from Ron to close it out.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Honestly Hawkeyes fans I can't remember RU ever getting a bailout call at the end of the game like that...30+ years.

 

[greenknight]

We have to win on the road

 

[FRA10Thunderbolt]

Nice win by RU!

 

[mildone_rivals]

Where’s my ventilator?

Out of stock, these days.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Truth

 

[hawkit3113]

Was a **** call. No doubt. We’ll take it. But a really bad call.

All good. Honestly shocked we didn't lose by 10+.

We actually played some defense

 

[mikeyoc]

I can’t believe we got that call lol nice to be on the right side of that for once

Yep. I DON'T FEEL BAD AT ALL

 

[rtabachk]

He really, really almost lost the game for us.

He needed to release that back to Geo cross court before crossing midcourt. He trapped himself.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

I’m traveling and am in a hotel room. I might have gotten thrown out if Murray hit that shot.

 

[RUTrack94]

I mean even 2 of those....I don't even care about the DePaul loss and PSU not great but UMass and Lafayette are just daggers

RU has beat Purdue, Michigan and Iowa … so hopefully that offsets those losses

 

[mikeyoc]

He needed to release that back to Geo cross court before crossing midcourt. He trapped himself.

Yep. You can't allow the sideline to be an extra defender in that situation

 

[knight82]

This was the first time since joining the Big Ten that a refs call helped us win

 

[mildone_rivals]

Play defense like tonight and we can beat anybody.

 

[RU Mike73]

He really, really almost lost the game for us.

Geo put Paul in a bad position. He had to get it across mid court timeline and dribbled into a double team and Geo no where to help. But all good now. Big win boys.

 

[greenknight]

Yep. I DON'T FEEL BAD AT ALL

I have no idea why they are whining about that foul call. Murry reached in and committed reach in foul that was not called by him pulling his hand out and backing off a hair he allowed RHJ to get body contact

 

[RUScrew85]

BIG B1G Win!

 

[hoochie302]

We have to win next 4 because next 7 we could really end up 0-7.

You are miserable
