Holy **** who said Shaq on the line to end it

Brutal

I said don't pass it to him at the end, but that was a rebound...

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Thiam cannot shoot his. Hope he figures it out misses are nowhere even close. They are never a litlle short or a little long they are just way out

Great win though

Just enjoy the W. Issa hit 2 big FTs down the stretch.

 

[S_Janowski]

Hugeeee roadie.

Legooooo.

 

[MS-RU]

That 3/4 court shot was wayyy to close for comfort but a huge win nonetheless .

 

[Plum Street]

Big win! Great job.

[hoochie302]

Boom! Team played great tonight!

 

[BigEastPhil]

Whatta win ! What a job defensively! This team is on its way.

 

[RU848789]

Pike: "better days ahead."

 

[RU848789]

Will we be ranked? Just kidding, someone had to say it.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Back to the RAC for Big Ten play!!

 

[RUfanSinceAnderson]

So pumped. Finally something positive.

Geo is a stud.

 

[wngarbarini]

Poor Shaq could not make a free throw if his life depended on it. Great win but oh baby that last shot?

 

[graystork]

Savage m2m help defense. Impressive

 

[Scangg]

Got some momentum going into MSU now! Huge win. Would be great if the team gets some confidence from this win and bust out of the shooting slump at home against MSU

 

[Rutgers25]

Huge win!!

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Nice confidence builder. They know they can win a tight game now.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Back to NJ for MSU and on the road to Wisconsin a few days later...F the Big 10 schedulers.

 

[babbs09]

Awesome win. Nailbiter to the end.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Our length and defense really showed itself in this game. Offense not pretty but back to playing D. Good to know that team is capable of playing defense.

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Geo - 16
Kiss - 12
Eugene - 11

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

If we beat MSU @home, we could be ranked or very close.

Your right agreed. Just cant miss wide open looks that badly

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Was ready to pack it in when RU lost that lead but better days ahead. Years ago we would have lost this. Credit to these guys and now lets get the RAC going on Friday.

 

[YoucancallmeRay]

Congratulations to all!! Best thing for me, among lots of great things, is that they closed out the game.

 

[RUTrack94]

RRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! (Pause)

 

[RutgersLifeR]

Fantastic win tonight. So proud of our team.

How about that block at the end by Geo. Great defensive play and overall game by Geo.

Also noticed during some stretches in the second half the team just having fun on the court. Again, great win tonight by the team!!

Going to be a zoo. Pull the student section out towards the court, **** it

 

[RUDieHard]

Like Coach Pike said.. DEFENSE wins games, Offense tells you by how much. If we keep bringing that level D to all our games, we have a shot against everyone. Let's keep it going!!!

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Your right agreed. Just cant miss wide open looks that badly

Crazy game this basketball thing...he was 1-5 on threes. Next game at home he could be 3-5

 

[anon_xekqhstck0ygt]

Gel's block at the end was awesome.... RU made some plays on D to close it out!

 

[Rokodesh]

How long until we worry about Pike getting poached?

 

[greenknight]

What a difference in Omoruyi's shooting. He was a bricklayer freshman year. He looks really really solid. Extremely impressed with his improvement

 

[gordel1]

Rutgers never wins these games. I was getting ready to read all the "moral victory" posts and how a young team is improving by putting up a respectable performance on the road lol.

He had that nice three but this wasnt his best game. Which is saying something. Its crazy how far hes come when we can consider tonight an off night for him

 

[King of S]

Good win boys. Solid defense tonight.

 

[Mikemarc]

How long until we worry about Pike getting poached?

I honestly get the feeling Pike loves it here.

I’m not worried.

This is the type of game which Rutgers has lost in the past because of the inability to score in the last 3 minutes.Today both teams had difficulty scoring which meant rebounding and defense were important factors in deciding the final outcome.This was a team win because different players contributed on offense and defense.Baker was the leading scorer and made a critical block shot in the last ten seconds of the game.Thiam made two critical foul shots and Doorsan got double digit rebounds.Eugene and Kiss made important baskets and Harper and Mathis played meaningful minutes.Pikiell coached a masterful game on the road making substitutions and calling time outs at critical times.
