Who said defense can’t win games hahaha

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

Been on a defensive tear. 3 straight with 4+ steals. Amazing

 

[Shell21]

Kid is pure dog. In a good way. Gotta love it

 

[GM]

DPOY easily

 

[Scangg]

The one play in the corner he dove back to back plays too. Steals. Hand RIGHT in Davis face. Poking balls away

DPOY

Defense? We just went 51/58/89 from the floor on offense!

Caleb’s D is great tho obv

Yes we had a great offensive game as well but it always starts on the defensive side of the court with Pikiells team.

The defensive success of this team gives us confidence and flow on offense, it’s very clear.

We shut J Davis down. If he goes off for 25 + we most likely don’t hang with them.

 

[RU848789]

Guy was everywhere on defense - 6 steals!!

 

[richthedentist]

Even that last play by Wahl was clearly an offensive foul on him
Caleb unbelievable did he have 6 steals?

 

[richthedentist]

By far Big 10 defensive POY

 

[Shell21]

 

[rume]

Made some big shots as well. His defense is elite.

 

[scarletrat]

we are continuing to get better...yeah, the 4 losses (Lafayette, UMass, home to MD, at Minnesota) hurt our ranking, but we are finishing as a NCAA team.

6 Quad 1 wins by my count. 3 straight over Top 25, and above us in standings. Win at Wisconsin.

9-5 now in B1G. 3 more to 12 B1G wins before tourney.

 

[RUtrumpet92_rivals498139]

He deserves a "forced turnover" on the late play (1:06 to go) where he beat Davis to a spot in the land. Davis stopped and threw it back towards his bench but missed his teammate. Turnover Wisconsin. It was 66-60 at the time.

 

[Scangg]

Are there player prop bets for college basketball? Take the under on whoever he is guarding

I agree. He forced so many turnovers or bad situations for Wisconsin that DO NOT SHOW UP IN THE STATS.

Caleb straight up dogs the opponent. I would hate to play against him!!

 

[shields]

Great he is getting that publicity.

 

[BillyC80]

Seems like every game the announcers are singing Caleb’s praises for his incredible defense. Gotta be in the running for DPoY

 

[new jersey1_rivals661559]

Reminds me of a young Dennis Rodman (basketball skill wise)

???Caleb is from Jacksonville, Rodman is an alien

 

[anon_xekqhstck0ygt]

He would be DPOY except he plays for Rutgers. kinda like Korsak not getting punter award.

 

[RAC’emUp]

His effort and focus in the last few minutes were incredible.

 

[brookdale-soda]

I don't know how he doesnt win dPoy. He's not only the best 1 on 1 defender. He plays the best team defense too. His hands are always in passing lanes. He's a great help defender too. I don't know how he maintains this intensity and focus so long, especially without fouling. He needs a knickname.

 

[RedTeamUpstream94]

The Big10 won’t reward a Rutgers player with a player of the year award unless forced to do so

dpoy is too subjective - gives plausible deniability to give to someone else. Just watch

 

[ScarletDave]

He’s B1G DPOY for sure, but I think he’s National DPOY. Watch a lot of basketball. No one singly is involved in so many stops and turnovers as he is, and maybe that I can even remember

 

[-RUFAN4LIFE-]

Didn't people say he should be benched, give up his scholarship, etc. at various points last year & early this year?

Sadly I agree. Cockburn will get it this year.

 

[RedTeamUpstream94]

Sadly I agree. Cockburn will get it this year.

Thats just the move - to give to a bigger name star from an old school Big10 team. Take it to the bank

Ya I loved that last one where wahl plowed his shoulder through calebs head and that’s a blocking foul???

 

[RU82]

Caleb’s D has been downright nasty lately. I would even go so far as to say it’s the best I’ve seen from an RU perimeter player in a generation at least. The guy is all over the place on the defensive end causing problems for our opponents.
