Career high 14 boards for Jack!!!
Way to go out on senior night!

Much rather see him getting boards than points!
Down to 3!

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Mike Williams getting absolutely screwed. Best RU player in half 1

 

[bac2therac]

At this point ride it out...to me this is the toughest we have played all year...but remember maryland plays close every game..they know how to win and dont fold...should RU win this they will have earned it

Lewis a beast tonight with 12...jack may not be scoring but has 14 boards...mack is willing this team back in

 

[bac2therac]

Mack tied but md pushing it back to 4...stay with it...49-45

 

[RUeric]

C'mon better shot selection guys.

 

[Saint Puppy]

Jack with a 3.....GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

 

[RUonBrain]

I agree Bac
Let it ride
Who are you going to take out now?

 

[bac2therac]

Oh well. 51-45...need a bucket here...nope...gone cold...3:50

 

[Rokodesh]

I can't stand this defense, go up and hack the **** out of him on that dunk

 

[RUONTHERISE]

The 3 point shots after we tied it up were bad decisions.

Jack just cannot finish tonight

And that 40 foot 3 attempt from Mack not a good idea.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Eddie Jordan is so over his head. The basketball program managed on a whim

 

[RUeric]

Had to take a timeout before it got to eight points. After two terrible threes by Mack and Jack you need to take one.

 

[bac2therac]

Jack taking 3s is ridiculous. ..we needed Mack to hit that 3 even though it was forced....cannot fault them tonight though...really really played tonight...way too many Terp fans in the building

 

[Saint Puppy]

Can't fault Mack for taking that 3 - it looked bad, but he can hit that. Come on gents pick it up - you can do this!

 

[RUonBrain]

No doubt they played hard tonight.
Lewis had a nice game shooting the baseline J
Hope he can do that next year

 

[bac2therac]

Need to make free throws...53-47...

 

[seels2662]

Hey the effort is there. The horses are not.

 

[RUeric]

Still unbelievable to me how anyone can airball a free throw

 

[Saint Puppy]

Cover on the rim tonight for Jack....and then an airball - ughhh.....normal night for Jack tonight and we are winning.

 

[bac2therac]

Please makes these Jack...airballs ft..ouch how..53-48 made 2nd

 

[bac2therac]

Press on....Lewis!...53-50

 

[RUonBrain]

******** call on Mack foul
Didn't even touch him

 

[seels2662]

what are you going to do.

 

[Saint Puppy]

Wells for MD just on a different level- Wow.

 

[bac2therac]

Oh well

 

[RUeric]

Ugh. Daniels gets stripped so easily driving the lane. At least the team didn't lay down tonight. To hang with the #9 team in the country with our rag tag group of guys is pretty impressive.

No doubt
ball game difference maker right there

 

[bac2therac]

Bad shot by Daniels

 

[bac2therac]

Maryland knows how to win...not flashy but this is a really good team

I agree peaking at the right time...If they get a generous side of the bracket they can be a final 4 team

 

[RUeric]

Eddie calls a TO there and doesn't even let the senior Zurich finish the game. You've gotta be kidding me.

 

[RUonBrain]

How the hell do you not put Zurich in for the last 30 seconds on senior night?

 

[mikebal9]

Definitely thought he was calling TO to get the seniors in.

 

[Shimmy24]

Good game guys, had a feeling it was going to be dangerously close tonight. Dez is just on another level right now.

Also, 20 offensive rebounds is far and away the most I've ever seen against any MD team.

 

[RUTrack94]

Listened on the radio. Sounded like they gave it their all. Was really hoping they could get the win once it was tied. As expected though Maryland woke up and RU went into RU mode. Gives hope though for a tourney win first round.

 

[DHajekRC84]

I really hope Lewis comes back. Starting to see something here that could be huge for next year.

 

[RUJMM78]

Good effort but poor execution .You can't win games with abysmal foul shooting and the inability to finish plays around the basket.I would guess that Rutgers missed at least 15 shots within a foot of the basket and on some possessions two/three missed shots. Rutgers scored 50 points ,13 of which came from Mack and Jack.With a squad full of complementary players its darn near impossible to generate enough points to stay in games and no less win.The problem only gets worse next season when Jack and Mack are gone along with their approximate 28 points per game.
