Rutgers vs Minnesota / Game Thread

[RU Mike73]

Minny 9 for 10 FT. Must be nice

 

[greenknight]

He's been pulled within seconds multiple times this game. Clueless out there

 

[koleszar]

Did we mistake stickem for grease today. Jeez Doorson.

 

[RU Mike73]

OMG we look bad today

 

[RUTrack94]

Very frustrating 2 min ...

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Here we go Rutgers, go on a run!!!

 

[koleszar]

Did Freeman cut himself shaving?

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Now we need DEFENSE!!

 

[RU848789]

10-17 FTs vs. 9-10 for them and 33-24 rebounds for them. That's why we're down 10.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

3rd slam for Free!!

 

[RUTrack94]

As sloppy as its been ... Team playing hard and within 8!

 

[RU848789]

This is where we need a shooter in the worst way...

 

[PurpleR]

Minnesota plays very good half court defense and their offensive rebounding is hurting us. Tough team. Rutgers has no margin for error in this game.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Shooting percentage is same...difference is rebounding

Minny is slicing us up inside too.

 

[RU848789]

Do we have one more run? They keep stopping our attempted runs...

 

[RutgersRaRa]

We haven't scored on consecutive possessions this half. Ouch.

 

[greenknight]

Difference between MIinn and RU
MN 6'5 dunk
RU 7' brick

 

[PurpleR]

Which means you cant miss foul shots. Not sure how this team turns that around as its obviously a mental issue at this point as Corey is a good enough shooter not to have that happen.

 

[greenknight]

Omer if you cannot put up a shot facing the basket 2FT away you belong on the bench on the other side of Bullock

 

[RUTrack94]

Within 8 still .... .... if I was Minn I'd just foul RU

 

[RUsince52]

We defend ourselves better than we defend them. Just can't stop them, too quick. Our bigs go too far out on the handoffs and can't recover to defend the drive.

 

[RuBird]

Don't think sanders leaves early this year. He really needs to work on his FTs

The ball is sitting in their palms at the lone get it by your finge tips and FTS will improve

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Mike Williams for 3!!!

 

[RU848789]

5-point play!

 

[RUTrack94]

Within 5!!!

 

[RUMcMahon]

Yuuuuuuuuuuge 3!!

 

[RuBird]

Love me some Mikie Williams. Bringing the passion today.

 

[Pritz99]

BIG stop here

 

[RU848789]

Down 5, with just under 4 to play - can't ask for more, given how we've played. Would be an awesome comeback if we can pull it off.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Don't think sanders leaves early this year. He really needs to work on his FTs

He's not ready yet--too many fundamentals he has to work on. Free throws are one of them, but shooting off the dribble and passing need more work. Another year or two in college and he has a shot at the NBA. His athleticism is sick, he just needs more coaching.

 

[RU fan forever]

Score?

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Need a bucket.

 

[RuBird]

68-61

 

[greenknight]

Throw ur 2 bricks now

 

[StyleKnight]

ouch

[RuBird]

Does the crowd really think booing is going to help us hit FTs?

 

[RU Mike73]

Unbelievable FT misses

 

[greenknight]

Throw ur 2 bricks now

Sucks

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Minny 9 for 10 FT. Must be nice
