Rutgers vs Ohio State / Game 2 Thread

[DHajekRC84]

They have Wesson - we don’t. Not much more complicated than that.

The inside scoring is pretty even..RU has wessons points across a number of guys.
The 3 or shooting and foul shots (or inability to make em) is the difference.

Not that season isn't a beast.

 

[ScarletDave]

OSU shooting was the difference - notably 21 from Wesson in the first half. 40 points at halftime for OSU, wasn’t gonna happen. Big game Tuesday !!! Each game is different, fresh start!

 

[Super tRUper]

Ugh c'mon eugene.

 

[bac2therac]

wtf Eugene

 

[koleszar]

What the hell was that pass? We're wearing black

 

[tfio]

Not even giving ourselves chances today

 

[BillyC80]

Shoot that 3 Gene, damn!

 

[Degaz-RU]

12 threes for OSU today. 5 for us. That’s the difference

 

[RU848789]

Ballgame

 

[PatrickRU92]

Gene shoot the fracking3

 

[Bob Chaewsky_rivals]

Peter kiss getting shook again SMH

Let it be already. He is not why we're losing. At least he's showing some balls taking shots. Mathis and Geo have pretty much sucked from the opening tip.

Minnesota game part 2

 

[BillyC80]

McConnell with another steal.

McConnell with another steal.

Real good player who needs more minutes

 

[Degaz-RU]

Real good player who needs more minutes

He pretty much took Mathis’ minutes today.

I think Mathis has hit the freshman wall. Hasn’t played well for several games now.

 

[greenknight]

Geos defense sucks

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Great defensive possession by caleb and nails another 3

 

[BillyC80]

McConnell another 3.

 

[CHR2022]

We gotra get Tez back to what he was doing before

He won the game single-handedly in the first half

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Our numbers at the line combined with us not being able to get a stop made this one impossible to stay in

Also Geo only 3 points. We were winning because he is in double figures. He cannot be a non factor

Muhammad is a great defender and he was on Geo's azz all game. To me, that was the difference and Mathis hitting a little wall the last few games.

 

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

I don't understand what a moving screen is? Maybe if the call was consistent as the rule states, then it may impact the complexion of the game. At least two or three of OSU 3pt shots came on such violations.

 

[Bob Chaewsky_rivals]

Forget that McConnell is better than Kiss, McConnell is better than Mathis.

 

[RutHut_rivals]

McConnell coming into his own.

Good point.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

SHU lost

 

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

Play the hot hand as the game unfolds.

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

what is geo doing

 

[richthedentist]

The games we've lost we have gotten nothing from Geo and that is how go if he has a good game we if a chance if not we don't

I know it won't happen but next year I could see mac starting over geo .
Geo doesn't play solid d or rebound. To go with his wild streaks and turnovers.
He does shoot free throws well.

 

[RUJMM78]

I'm impressed with McConnell because he has size and can make shots from different areas of the court.He needs more playing time.Baker,Harper and Mathis poor offensive games.Final score 76-62 .

 

[shields]

Muhammad gives Geo fits. Thank goodness Seton lost, Butler played stupid down stretch.

totally disagree...lets slow down here in condeming Geo and elevating Caleb. Caleb played great today but consistency is another thing

 

[BOCA93]

Wasn’t Harper a 3* on either rivals or 247?

 

[kcg88]

We're just never going to win a game on the road where the opponent shoots 13-28.

We could've made it closer than 14 if we played better, but a win was never happening with OSU shooting like that.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Hard to beat OSU today. The Bucks hit shots and handled the ball well. Frankly, with the exception of the FT shooting, I don't think we played too bad.

 

[PatrickRU92]

We just didn't play well and they did. Hard to win on the road like that. Next.

 

[Degaz-RU]

His final rating on Rivals was 4-star.

Yeah McConnell played well today. But Mathis had 4-5 really good games in a row but has disappeared. Important not to overreact.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Muhammad gives Geo fits. Thank goodness Seton lost, Butler played stupid down stretch.

He did it the first game too...Geo just hit the big shot against him the last time they played.

Once again, Muhammad is the best defender Geo has faced all year.
