Rutgers vs Minnesota / Game Thread

[kcg88]

Taking bad shots like Geo did leads to easy buckets...killing us all day

Giant problem. McConnell is so much better at getting into the paint and making something happen than Geo.

 

[PatrickRU92]

well we're in it. Hope Caleb makes it back.

Difference AS FRACKING ALWAYS is they make 3s we don't

 

[RUsince52]

Not bad considering the shooting.

 

[bac2therac]

Meh...still in it hanging but Minny still in firm control. Going to need a big reversal in 2nd half

 

[RU82]

Mildly surprised Doucoure didn’t get 2 or 3 minutes.

Telling

 

[kcg88]

Minnesota sucks at three-point shooting and shot 54% from the arc. We suck at it and shot 22%. Honestly not that bad to be down 7.

He’s not dressed.

Good finish. Have the ball to start.

There is 0% chance we win if Minnesota goes 6-11 on threes again in the second half.

 

[Bob Chaewsky_rivals]

Baker better learn how to shot when driving right. It's a natural way to gain momentum, but he always steps back. Great if you're hitting, but no rebounding position.

He's getting a pass here - hasn't really played that well.

 

[soundcrib]

I watched a low level high school basketball game yesterday and they make more 3s than us.

 

[BOCA93]

How is that dude Coffey a 20+ ppg scorer? He’s always flailing around and is constantly rolling on the floor. Not a smooth player

 

[MV9000]

Down Eugene and all things considered were playing fine.

Minny never shoots the 3 this good. We need to continue to work it inside. That is when we score. Also kudos to Caleb man is he going to be good

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Really hope caleb just got a sack tap and is back. Hes making things happen

 

[MV9000]

Also Mathis with a man block down the wire on a guy 4” taller than him

The ball came down so fast. Montez is so explosive getting in the air

 

[MV9000]

Appeared that way I expect both him and carter back at half

 

[rudad02]

Great play. Saved 2pts.

 

[kcg88]

Baker, McConnell, Carter, and Johnson have 30 of our 32 points. Harper, Mathis, Kiss, Thiam... somebody has to step up.

 

[RUJMM78]

I liked Rutgers effort in the first half.The difference in the game is the 3 point shooting of Minnesota and the lack of scoring from Harper and Mathis.This is a typical Rutgers road game where they simply don't have the offensive consistency to match baskets over a extended period of time.McConnell impressed me with the variety of his offensive moves and hopefully he will be able to play in the second half .

 

[kcg88]

Notably, Harper and Mathis need to get to the line and for the love of god would Kiss or Thiam hit a three??

 

[bac2therac]

Ru will have to play great defense to win...we will have to hold the under 70...we just do not generate enough on offense....its a thread the needle path to victory

Minny is getting great 3 looks v our zone.

 

[toby83]

Mn won't go 6/11 in second half from three

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Minny is getting great 3 looks v our zone.

Not many honestly. Its just that the great looks they are getting, theyre pulling and nailing

 

[RutHut_rivals]

McConnell should not come off the floor in the second half.

 

[kcg88]

Minny is getting great 3 looks v our zone.

Minnesota is like us: They don't typically make threes even when they get great looks. If they 6-11 again this half then we're not winning. 2-11 and we have a shot.

 

[zebnatto]

Those are excellent looks. Screen zone at top of key, have two on one on other side right outside line. Very clean looks.

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

Caleb got a knee to the thigh, he will be fine

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Mathis drive isnt a foul but thats a foul on shaq?

 

[kcg88]

WHAT A JOKE OF A FOUL. HE BUMPED CARTER TO GET ROOM, NOBODY TOUCHED HIM

 

[biazza38]

Wow. No foul on the first possession and then Murphy gets the cheap one to go to the line

 

[Caliknight]

These refs blow

 

[RUsince52]

well we're in it. Hope Caleb makes it back.

Difference AS FRACKING ALWAYS is they make 3s we don't

The ball has to go straight at the basket to go in. We like to be right and left.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Theyre gonna keep going at shaq c with murphy. We have tooooo dig man and force that out

 

[kcg88]

Murphy puts a shoulder into the chest every single time.

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

wait they gave that foul to Carter??!?! WHAT!>!>!

 

[bethlehemfan]

No energy

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Cant have 50 foot pass turnovers come on montez

 

[Scangg]

Harper didn't rush that 3 and nails it. Just needs to slow down
