Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers versus Penn State

[zebnatto]

Cam was right there too
The pass was also almost picked off/thrown over his head

People nitpicking on DS!

 

[ancienthooper]

Many of us did its all good...what a swing

It’s not all good. You’re all obnoxious a$$hats.

 

[RuBird]

I am sorry Caleb was very hard on you the first half. You stepped up when you needed to. Spencer, Simpson even Cliff with a huge offense rebound and score late

 

[Zak57]

Incredible!!!!

 

[leftoright]

We got a new ZERO!

 

[RU#1fan]

HAND ME THE PLATE OF CROWWWWWW BABY!!!!! RRRRRRRRR. Wow.

I’ll eat crow any day with this result

 

[RUinPinehurst]

Great comeback from down 19.

Some of you guys should hang your heads in shame at some of your posts in this thread.

Nah. It's part of our culture. No shame. LOL.

 

[greenknight]

DS needs to have ball in his hands and not in PM's.

 

[BillyC80]

Guys, I’m at a conference in Austin and couldn’t watch the game. I saw that we were down 19 and stopped looking at the score.

Then I started following the game by reading this thread, around page 15. My heart was pounding just reading all the posts! Holy cow!!!

 

[greenknight]

Derek needed to pass to cam

The only 2 guys that should have touched it

 

[NYSportsFan]

I’ll eat crow any day with this result

Hand me some honey mustard with it too. Just wow. I was texting somebody abt how we don’t have guards that can take over and then Derek Simpson was born haha. Oh my word what a win.

 

[RU Mike73]

Awesome comeback. Amazing that PSU went on a Rutgersesque scoring drought

 

[Fat Koko]

This one didn't age well.

This first half reminds me of the Michigan State game at the MSG - Rutgers was horrible and trailed by 6 at halftime. Then during the 2nd half at MSG, Paul suddenly came alive, drove to the hoop with confidence, and put up the best half of career.

I will keep watching this game hoping something like the MSG 2nd half happens again tonight.

My "this one didn't age well" comment posted a few minutes into the 2nd half didn't age well. The parity and mediocrity in the B1G means RU can play a horrible half of b-ball and still earn wins.

 

[ancienthooper]

The offense is still abysmal. Psu is not a tourney team. Vs a better team we’d get blown out

Another total pudknocker.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Haha I love you sonsabitches!!!

 

[RutgersNo1]

Im happy Dean played 0 min tonight

 

[rucoe89]

Key play - Cliff using the glass on the last points by Rutgers. He need to us that glass more often.

 

[greenknight]

PSU lost the game not getting Pickett open looks within 15-18 ft

 

[RUJMM78]

McConnell great defense against Pickett in second half.

 

[scarletrat]

We needed an unexpected guy to step up.
Simpson came of age.

 

[mikebal9]

Pickett not only had no points in the 2nd half, but he took zero shots. Caleb completely locked him down.
I am one of the biggest Mulcahy fans on this board, but there's something wrong there, and Simpson deserves 20+ minutes going forward.

 

[rufeelinit]

Glad I stuck with it. Cancelling therapy session.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

38 points in the second half!

 

[shields]

Great job. Was it two years ago we made big comeback at penn State and they won the game? Payback.

 

[Big boy stan]

I need a drink.

Shocked it happened when Paul went out.
Gutsy performance… and Simpson !!!
_uck State Penn

 

[scarletrat]

McConnell should get defensive POY just for what he did on Pinkett

 

[G- RUnit]

Best defense of the year!!!!

 

[Scarletnut]

It’s 5 vs 4 with PM on the floor. Win or lose , go with Simpson to run this team going forward

 

[ancienthooper]

Im happy Dean played 0 min tonight

Douche comment after an unbelievable win.

 

[LETSGORU91_]

At this point just bench Paul and McConnell for the rest of the game and try to get our bench some chances to get confidence for these last 2 games. Nice job Derek

Good thing Rutgers just tried to get some people some minutes....It paid off nicely, didn't it?

I swear to God it Pike gives Derek the red light in the second half i’m going to lose my ****

I sure hope you lost your ****!

McConnell, Paul, and Cam a combined 2 for 15. Can’t believe I desperately wanted Caleb back.

NIL BABY!!!! $$$$$$$$

“ I won’t even be mad if they don’t make the tournament” wahhhhh and weep huge comeback LFG

Awesome response. I hope all the bastages who doubted enjoy how their foot feels up their behinds. What a win!!!

 

[Luvscarletknights]

THANK YOU RIOT SQUAD!!!

Way to represent the University.

Looked great on TV......

 

[Rokodesh]

Derek needs to start, Paul gives us nothing

 

[jkernpop]

My god I never thought I’d be that down bad to become a sky is falling *sshat and wondering if we would keep our recruits. That was magical and I’m in absolute awe!

 

[greenknight]

DS proved me right. He was going to grow up alot this game. Decisive, fast and played downfield to the basket

 

[RU#1fan]

I need drinks

FIFY

 

[RUJMM78]

Penn State missed last 14 shots .Lundy was horrendous.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Simpson - MVP of the game

McConnell - MVP of the second half (despite the missed FT).

 

[RUfubar_rivals]

Is pike still suffering from dissociative disorder?

 

[RuBird]

Glad I went to the cardiologist last week. He does not need to see my numbers right now
