Rutgers vs Penn State / Game Thread

[biazza38]

I give up on the block/charge call and I think so have the refs

 

[koleszar]

And two frosh combining for a stupid break.

 

[Scangg]

Mathis not getting calls today. With the body on a couple of these

 

[koleszar]

Nice at the buzzer Johnson

 

[BOCA93]

Mathis gets hammered every time he drives the lane. Unreal

 

[Scangg]

Oooooo missed Mathis there for the nasty stuff but Myles saves it!

 

[BillyC80]

Great finish, RU up 4 at the half, 30-26!

 

[sct1111]

Nice ending there at the half. Should be up by 10 though.

 

[bac2therac]

RU seems to have shot itself in the foot several times. I will take 30-26 but it should be more.

 

[RU848789]

Nice rebound and putback by Myles to end the half. Up 30-26. Could be better, but could be worse.

 

[biazza38]

Great job Myles. I thought an offensive foul was going to be called on him

 

[RU82]

Good half from Baker.

Overall we played pretty well too. Feels like we should be up by more than four at the half though.

 

[RUJMM78]

Every time Rutgers gets a small lead Penn State makes a 3 pointer.Half time score Rutgers leads 30-26.

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

The fact that Mathis hasn't been to the line once...

 

[PatrickRU92]

always take a 4 point lead on the road at half. Good play by Johnson. If only we could finish more shots we'd be a good team

 

[BillyC80]

May be a stupid question but can you do a throat slash in college basketball? Isn’t it a personal foul in college football?

Been thinking about that myself. He does a throat slash gesture after ever made three.

 

[Scangg]

Penn State 16 3 attempts in the first half. Let's hope they don't heat up

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers needs scoring from players other than Mathis and Baker in the second half.

 

[zebnatto]

1) refs suck
2) would like MM to pull back a bit
3) ride Geo and bigs

Is Issa at game?

 

[DHajekRC84]

Kiss with the bad pass almost intercepted, then having the ball stolen from him right after that. Bad sequence.

Seriously.. What us he thinking? Didn't he learn anything last game?

 

[RU848789]

Seriously.. What us he thinking? Didn't he learn anything last game?

Unless he starts hitting treys, I don't see him playing much next year with improved talent at the guard spot.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Penn State 16 3 attempts in the first half. Let's hope they don't heat up

And most of them were wide open looks. We need to close our better on threes, because if PSU hits one or two of those in the 2nd half, they could get hot and bury us.

 

[DHajekRC84]

RU seems to have shot itself in the foot several times. I will take 30-26 but it should be more.

Lol..that's something new..ha ha

 

[RUTrack94]

Excellent ... excellent!!!

 

[RU848789]

Wow, if we win, we're tied for 9th with several teams. And our wins over OSU and Nebraska really seem to have put those teams into a tailspin.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Unless he starts hitting treys, I don't see him playing much next year with improved talent at the guard spot.

Shame. His 3rd year and his tryout season. He's pretty darn athletic but I think his head gets in the way..sounds like Issa.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Wow, if we win, we're tied for 9th with several teams. And our wins over OSU and Nebraska really seem to have put those teams into a tailspin.

I thought OSU won today..
But..how cool at this time would that be.

 

[RU848789]

they did, but they lost 3 straight after the loss to us...

 

[Night Man]

PSU seems to be shooting better on contested 3s than lightly contested 3s.

They will chuck, doubt they really heat up, but they also award more points for 3s so we will need to play clean on offense and take good shots. If we do that, we'll win.

Really like our rebounding and defense so far.

 

[DHajekRC84]

And I just realized it was nebby they beat so 1 had to win lol.

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers has a 10-0 advantage on second chance opportunities .base don superior rebounding.My concern is that Rutgers better get a comfortable lead because Penn State just might win the game with a 3 pointer at the buzzer.

 

[Local Shill]

I don’t think it’s overstating things to see these next 20 minutes could play a major role in determining the trajectory of the rest of the season.

 

[DHajekRC84]

And the refs haven't totally screwed us and letting us scrape.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Need to stop the turnovers. Offense has been terrible. Spacing sucks. Geo bailed us out in that half.

 

[ScarletDave]

They did but vs Nebraska. Someone had to win

 

[DHajekRC84]

God, please let me enjoy a Saturday night for once...please.

 

[bac2therac]

Mathis airball...come on..pass that to the paint

 

[koleszar]

Horrible stretch right here. We should be blowing them out but blew it big time

 

[Night Man]

What is wrong with this game

 

[RU848789]

god we suck sometimes
