Rutgers vs Miami (FL) / Game Thread

[FrankZ_RU93]

Gosh their coach looks like Boeheim

 

[RU82]

Nice follow up dunk by Dobson.

 

[BillyC80]

Miami keeping us closer by turning it over.

 

[bac2therac]

9 Miami turnovers, it could be a lot worse, just need to get the lead to like 7 at half

 

[RU Mike73]

9 turnovers by MIA and we shoot 31%

 

[RUTrack94]

Starting to settle in ... Miami TOs keeping the game close.

 

[bac2therac]

that was just bad by Corey..disappointed in his play tonight

 

[daneman100]

With this many turnovers we should be leading.

 

[gigantor1024]

To be honest I just see us totally getting outplayed. You might be looking for something that's not there

not really. It's not difficult to spot a travel. Or contact. Call it both sides if you're going to call it. Freeman's been fouled multiple times no calls.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Not a single guy playing decently. Looks like it will be up to Corey to try and do everything.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Just no shooting threat whatsoever.

 

[bac2therac]

I think Miami only has 2 points in the last 5 minutes, RU is very fortunate

 

[RUTrack94]

Out rebounded 15-6 ...0/6 from 3

 

[BillyC80]

We could use a three here.

 

[TheRacRU]

Keeping it decently close and competing with what could be a very good team on the road; things could be a lot worse.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

But still only down nine. Nigel Johnson having a horrible night too.

 

[bac2therac]

10-2 RU run in almost 7 minutes....stemming the tied here with better decision making and Miami struggling handling the ball...keep it going and chip away

 

[BillyC80]

Sa!

 

[RUTrack94]

Playing hard ... Within 6.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Big hoop and one from Sa

 

[TMCB]

27-21

 

[BillyC80]

27-21 Miami.

 

[RedSpartan]

Miami's length is just killing us at the rim.

 

[TMCB]

Rutgers settling down

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Critical stretch here.

 

[RedSpartan]

11-2 Rutgers run, now down 6.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Oh, boy. If this is what we can expect from Freeman against legitimate front lines, we are dead meat.

 

[BillyC80]

Sa looks the best so far. Chance to get within 4.

 

[TMCB]

Freeman needs to play his game

 

[Mikemarc]

Looking better. playing hard. keep chopping at that lead

 

[bac2therac]

27-21...11-2 run..thats how you respond to adversity...night and day difference from last year to this year under Pike. Just play strong to close out the half...you can see the bounce in RU's step. Cannot blink though and let them get their cushion

 

[koleszar]

Well they're hanging in there. They don't give up

 

[RU Mike73]

Nice run. Freeman getting manhandled though. But just got 4 or 5 O rebounds. Makes a huge difference.

 

[shields]

Need to rebound better.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Agreed with announcer - loved that TO from Pike after that horrific defensive play. Different game since.

 

[4theknights]

Miami's length is just killing us at the rim.

Yep. But we need to keep playing the d

 

[bac2therac]

Oh, boy. If this is what we can expect from Freeman against legitimate front lines, we are dead meat.

yeah this is going to be an issue, he is just too small there and there are trees in the Big 10, if only we had an outside threat to kick it too. Freeman forcing everything

 

[BillyC80]

If we make both at the line, then play even the rest of this half, it's gonna be a very interesting second half!

 

[TheRacRU]

Looking better. playing hard. keep chopping at that lead

Is 'choppin' still in the RU lexicon? Wasn't sure.

 

[RUTrack94]

Take a look at the box score ... So many big differences ... Out rebounded 19-10 ... Winning TO 11-2 ... Steals up 5-2 ... Blocks down 5-2 ... Kind of like Nukes line score from Bull Durham.
