Rutgers vs Michigan State / Game Thread

[RUJMM78]

Issa spending a lot of time on the bench.

He made one three point shot near the end of the game.Rutgers had too many players missing shots in the second half which allowed Michigan State to have a comfortable margin and win the game at the foul line and with easy baskets by the post players.

Always good to arrive early before a big game. Have fun watching the warmups and Go RU!

Wait, aren’t you the 1 per center who hijacks parking and shows up 5 mins before the game, because ur elite?

lol, 99% of the time I arrive just in time, but I was trying to be a 1 percenter in a different way tonight...

You stop, he played 39 2 days ago, 35 in the 3 prior, and they were active minutes. If you thought he wouldn’t get tired you’re delusional.

good thing hes not in the military trying to stay alive in some god forsaken ********. these are young kids if they dont have the legs to keep up with the oposition then get them in shape. these exuces sound like ash

White Rose over on St.Georges Ave. in Linden ?

No, the one in Highland Park. I spent a year in grad school about a block away from WR - I ate well that year, lol.

I also assume you mean the one on Elizabeth Ave (514)? I actually like the one in Roselle, a mile or so away from that one, better, but both are good.

The chrome dome?

No. Chrome dome is actually a decent ref. Though he had awful call or 2 in second half. Young ref. Every game his ratio of calls against us at like a 5 :1 ratio. He should be reported.

Tim Higgins and Jim Burr. Both awful, but Higgins in particular.

Burr then Higgy for me.

Shooting was the big difference

Got basically nothing from Thiam today

This was an excellent veteran MSU team coming off a loss and RU didn't have much rest

They had the best three players on the court and two of them played great. That’s tough to overcome but I liked a lot of what I saw today.

Yeah it's a tough call between those two. Burr annoyed me whenever there was a close block/charge call. He'd do that thing where he sorta hops on one leg a few steps and then make an emphatic block call...always against RU of course.

Why didn't Issa Thiam play tonight? I didn't see anything about an injury.

He played. Wasn't all that effective so fewer minutes than usual. But he definitely played.

Played 24 min. Just wasn’t one of his best.

Oh gosh the hop on the leg. May be eliciting nightmares tonight.

That post was an obvious jab at Thiam for not showing up tonight. Invisible from a junior starting 3 is not acceptable in a big game like this. Gotta find a way
