Rutgers vs Minnesota / Game #2 Thread

[bac2therac]

BS.. since it wasn't a hook. Maybe you thought you saw one.. but you were wrong. The whole point of the hook is to hold the defender while you pass by.. that did not happen.

Foul easily...whine more

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Dude i had perfect angle watching it.

I don't know what those guys are seeing... Eugene's elbow hit Murphy in his shoulder blades.

 

[BOCA93]

Like virtually every game this season, RU decides to let one guy go bezerk. Can they please guard #22!!!

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

It's miserable watching this team play basketball. I need to go to Passages Malibu to get off this ****

 

[bethlehemfan]

Because our defense is trash tonight

At least a couple were not defendable. Sometimes you tip your hat. That said gotta find away to take him out of the game.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

How how HOW Do you let a freshman, who destroyed you the last time you played, do the same exact thing to you again? Somebody needs to knock him over on a 3 at the beginning of the half.

 

[kcg88]

Almost every Big Ten team brings in freshmen like Kalscheur every year. We need to get used to it.

For a possible 4 point.play and a team foul ? Sounds like sound strategy.

 

[RUChoppin]

Don't get the argument over the Omoruyi foul. Was pretty clear and a good call.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

I don't know what those guys are seeing... Eugene's elbow hit Murphy in his shoulder blades.

But a hook looks like this.. you use it to get around the guy... that's not what EO did. His elbow was high.. but no hook.

Foul worth one point.

 

[RU206]

When can RU recruit a shooter like #22

You live & die by the 3.Minny in no different.They WILL cool off

 

[bac2therac]

Baker only one shot taken is a problem

Minny 7 assists to 1 for Ru

 

[zebnatto]

Bad half by coach, too, who seemed to be guessing on his lineups,

 

[BOCA93]

Doesn’t help that he’s been on the bench with 2 early fouls, the 2nd of which was laughable given the contact in this game

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Eugene wrapped his elbow and delivered a blow to Murphy's shoulder blade.

It was not a wrap like this image where the entire arm is being used.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Million dollar question.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

 

[bac2therac]

Agree

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Only hope is to get a quick foul on 22. Certainly won’t outshoot him from 3.

 

[bac2therac]

So ru neutralizes coffey and murphy but now has adjust for the perimeter and that could open things up for those 2 again

Offensively not shooting bad just not valuing possessions

 

[bethlehemfan]

Agree

Lol but if we had someone go off 5-5 he would like a genius.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Well, that image is where you call a hook. Murphy uses his elbows all the time.

BTW.. I can see it LOOKING like a hook.. because that's how you start it.. but EO did not follow thru and actually hook him... didn't need to.. was by him.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Critical. Sit please

 

[motorb54]

Defenders need to stop cheating to the inside and leaving space for #22
They are then late recovering in an attempt to close out on the shooter
Baker does this a lot

 

[koleszar]

and the free throw woes continue

 

[tfio]

Mathis shooting free throws...yuck

 

[RUfromNJ]

Mathis my god.

 

[zebnatto]

Zero margin and 0/2 at line.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

FTs, layups, etc are just awful

 

[AreYouNUTS]

More missed layups ughh

 

[tfio]

"Looked like a hook"...FOH

 

[koleszar]

Wow can Wenzel be any more biased against us. He needs a little more Matt Millen in him. "Rutgers fouls a lot they have to hope they get refs that don't call them"

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

OMG.. Wenzel says we foul a lot. Whattadouche.. all those open shots for Minny says otherwise

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

No call charge

 

[AreYouNUTS]

How in EARTH Was that not a charge

 

[bethlehemfan]

Wenzel sucks

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Big 3

 

[PatrickRU92]

Please shoot more Ron!!!
