Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops versus Wisconsin

[NorthernKnight_rivals]

Paul is going to have to score 12 in this game or we aren’t winning.

 

[ScarletWalk11]

Hey guys, we started OSKAR PALMQUIST today and are up by 2 at half. That’s a win

 

[RW90]

Ha ha ha. These refs are all over the place. No predicting what they‘ll call.

My fear is the inevitable makeup calls to close the game.

 

[RU Mike73]

Bad ending to the half sighhhhh. Cam did unbelievable and that’s not happening in another half. Just need to sack up to save this

Why do you say Cam can’t continue? Watch him when he’s hot.

 

[dconifer0]

In good shape for the win, Go Rutgers...

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Great offensive half but like others have said a little disconcerting to have Cam play like Stef Curry and we're only up 2. Oh well let's get it done.

 

[kevin0214]

Paul plays awful D. Done nothing since 2nd half MSU. So strange

 

[bac2therac]

Chuckie has 3 pts and 3 fouls and we are only up 2

 

[jordkap]

Great offensive half but like others have said a little disconcerting to have Cam play like Stef Curry and we're only up 2. Oh well let's get it done.

Jordan Davis has 11 too. Going both ways today

 

[mildone_rivals]

One of the most weirdly officiated games I’ve seen in a while. But we’re doing well on O. Tighten up on D a little, improve rebounding, and this game is winnable despite missing our best defenders.

 

[rob kight]

Earlier this year the announcers said Cliff was the 2nd or 3rd best Big in the conference, but it seems almost every opposing center gets the best of him.

 

[dconifer0]

Awful last two minutes.

Love seeing Dean and Cliff together Shouldn’t be either or

I was thinking the same thing. I think Zap has said this several times also...

 

[BigEastPhil]

It seems every game Rutgers allows a basket to end the first half.

And we rarely convert last shot opportunities except for cam at end of games.

 

[FinalFourOrBust_rivals142702]

If Paul isn’t gonna shoot then why even play

 

[TheKidFromRahway]

Paul is going to have to score 12 in this game or we aren’t winning.

Guess we are losing then

 

[koleszar]

Paul's unselfishness has become nauseating. Either that or he's just become afraid to shoot. 0-1

 

[NorthernKnight_rivals]

Why do you say Cam can’t continue? Watch him when he’s hot.

Depends on what Wisky does. If they put long/quick blanketing him he’s done.

 

[Jersey07712]

The reason we aren't up more because cliff has been non existent on most D possessions and has brought nothing to the table on O

 

[RU Mike73]

Hey guys, we started OSKAR PALMQUIST today and are up by 2 at half. That’s a win

Not quite. But it is a good sign.

 

[rucoe89]

The fact that we are ahead, even by 2, given the injuries and fouls is amazing. Good job by Pikiell on getting the duct tape to stay so far. There is concern, though, for the second half.

False

 

[DHajekRC84]

Paul plays awful D. Done nothing since 2nd half MSU. So strange

he's really hurting us both ends right now. I love the old Paul. This new version is frustrating and confusing as hell. Captain needs to know he's critical to us winning.

I honestly wonder if that tripping thing at Indy really messed up his head.

 

[#1 RUFan]

They literally gave us the bucket instead. You people complain about everything smh

You continue to show how you're not a Rutgers fan. The **** you say. What true fan complains our shot shouldn't count after a foul smfh? At least you're consistent. You're disdain always shows through lol.

 

[Scangg]

PPP

14 total messages in almost 20 years and this is one of them? Lol

 

[ScarletteK80]

Death, taxes, and a 0 point half for mulcahy. I’ll never understand it.

I do, he is just basically useless at times this game included. Ugh.

 

[Scarletnut]

Paul's unselfishness has become nauseating. Either that or he's just become afraid to shoot. 0-1

PM is Rutgers’ version of Ben Simmons on offense

 

[zappaa]

False

More true than false

 

[ScarletteK80]

Hey guys, we started OSKAR PALMQUIST today and are up by 2 at half. That’s a win

I hope you are very right, please.

Nah I’m just fair and objective unlike weirdos like you. Time to grow up kid.

 

[zappaa]

Paul might edge out J Miller for shot attempts by 1

 

[dconifer0]

Your team is tough, I'm sure you are proud of what they are doing today...

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Cam is an intense kid. Very vocal with the expletives. Seems to work though lol

 

[#1 RUFan]

Lol preposterous call allowing that basket to count but we’ll take it

I'm sure you're disappointed it counted. Shocker.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Caleb back out in warmups

 

[mildone_rivals]

My fear is the inevitable makeup calls to close the game.

They’ve been off for both sides so far. RU’s players are clearly backing off a step under the basket to avoid giving the refs things to call. But at some point, the team needs to shift into tougher D mode and give up some fouls.

Usually you can sense how the refs are calling stuff. But this crew is totally unpredictable, calling one thing right, the next loose. The only good thing is that the calls seem pretty evenly distributed between the two teams, maybe a bit better for us at 8-5.

 

[Scangg]

Chuckie has 3 pts and 3 fouls and we are only up 2

Yea but Davis has 11 which wouldn't have happened if Chuckie wasn't in foul trouble

 

[Knightmoves]

Anyone else getting tired of Luke Visconti RU commercials? Come up with something new.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Doesn't look like he's gonna go though. Kinda hunched over.

 

[Kbee3]

My fear is the inevitable makeup calls to close the game.

You read my mind.
I'm betting the refs are looking at the stat sheet right now and reminding themselves who is the home team.
