Courtside Report

[ImBadRU]

1. Caleb locked that mug up. Don't think he scored when Caleb was on him, only when they had to switch.
2. Told yall ages ago that Derek was gonna be special. So smooth, so calm. With 15 more pounds watch out. Hit all FTs.
3. Big crowd still not loud in the BJC.
4. Students behind RU bench were talking so much **** to our players and at the end they were crying and our players waved bye to them.
5. Palm critical.
6. Hyatt nothing.
7. Paul is really slow and gets pushed around.
8. Cliff is just so limited, hands are lacking, works hard tho. Closed on Pincket fast a few times.

 

[RUsojo]

Confused you said “our players” but referred to Rutgers instead of Penn St.

 

[shields]

13 rebounds for Cliff.

 

[ImBadRU]

No idea he had 13 boards. So many went thru his hands.

 

[red sail]

The OP loves to walk either side of the fence. Tough to work for PSU and root for the alma mater

 

[BigRnj]

Anything happen in the handshake line, or was it just jawing with the cult fans? A reporter asked Pike about it in the press conference and Pike brushed it off.

You always pick the alma mater when they play each other. Always

 

[devoted2ru]

Just watched the B1G highlights of the game and the reactions of the Nitwit Lions fans after the horn sounded at the end of the game was beyond priceless. Some were crying, some were holding their heads in disbelief, and others sat there inert...as if they'd just been struck dead. -It was honestly a BEAUTIFUL thing to see,

They showed Cam waving the Penn State fans out mouthing "Bye"

I’m pretty sure the OP is a prof at PSU. But I’m glad he rooted for RU tonight.

 

[ImBadRU]

Ru grad psu prof not a psu sports fan at all.

It was just an extended conversation between Shrewsbury and Caleb. It was not heated at all, seemed like a respectful exchange, but definitely a lot longer than usual.

 

[fatsam98]

Caleb was jawing at their bench in the first half, not sure if it related to that

 

[High Quality H2O]

My roommate did PhD at UNC and is a prof at Michigan. We went to the NIT final and Louisville ticket camp out/ game together amongst others.
Never talks of “we” as Rutgers. Roots for the blue teams now. I give him **** relentlessly for it. I find it unacceptable.

It is unacceptable. Not quite the same. I am RU undergrad. Michigan MBA. Always root for Rutgers. No question! Friend is undergrad Sparty. Grad Notre Dame. Big Irish fan. Scratch my head.

 

[S_Janowski]

I wound just like to thank the OP waiting a few minutes for the game to end and creating one comprehensive thread to capture all 8 points going through his head as opposed to creating 8 separate threads.

Well done

What are you a prof of? (Just curious, obv don’t answer if too personal)

Pincket is a great offensive player, but he gets away with clearing out defenders by lowering his shoulder and charging, but almost never gets called for it. It is infuri to watch.

You’re so right.

Paul got called for an offensive doing exactly what picket does on literally EVERY basket he makes

Dvr’d game and will probably watch it 2-3 times tomorrow.

I work at Penn State as well and want Penn State to lose every game in every sport they ever play. I am vilified on campus and love every minute of it!

 

[ImBadRU]

Ru 89 ur the man

I had to DVR the game for a family function tonight. Walking into the house, my old roommate texted me "WOW!!!", so I texted him back don't tell me anything as I was just sitting down to watching. Watching our horrendous play in the first half, I was wondering whether he was being sarcastic or just referring to another game.

 

[czxqa]

They showed Cam waving the Penn State fans out mouthing "Bye"

@MrsScrew posted it to Twitter

A short time after the game ended I just typed info into my search engine that brought up the B1G network highlights.

The reactions I was referring to were only shown for a short period at the very end of the highlights. But I replayed that section over and over, stopping the video several times at strategic points where I could clearly see the utter, complete, and absolute anguish of the Staters. ...It was thoroughly enjoyable viewing.

Check replay that shows cam heading to the bench.. some psu woman court side is shouting something right at him.. I think that’s partially why he mouthed to the crowd

My guess is PSU coach spoke to Caleb awhile perhaps about him slamming the media table at center court on the timeout following his missed FT front end that could have iced it.. or perhaps about our players engageing the fans after. No biggie my guess.. just advice

 

[MrsScrew_rivals32693]

Seems the state penn fans, specifically the students, were the instigators. The attachments in this tweet are the VP of the psu equivalent of the Riot Squad speaking about what a+holes they were & how the campus police got involved.

If Cliff can have a crucial foul-free offensive rebound over an opponent and put back like that in crunch time in every other game, I am good with all other deficiencies in #8.

I was just coming here to post that. Just saw it all on Twitter.

Cliff, is what he is Rebounder shot blocker.
Paul, Truly a small forward that can pass. Entirely too slow to be a point guard and cant shoot
