RU @ Iowa Game Thread

[RAC’emUp]

Sa should ony dunk - never shoot.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

offense really struggling as Iowa has stepped up the defense

Which is a constant reality. :angry:

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Gettys needs to do better defensively - bad footwork...

Johnson needed to help out on that--it was a good move to the weak side and Gettys needs weak-side help.

Which is a constant reality. :angry:

a little better today but the problem in this conference is it isnt the BE where you can stay in the game against bad offenses like the old BE used to have, you have score boom boom boom in the Big 10 because everyone can shoot

Freeman needs to sit

 

[bac2therac]

we could have had Fran here if TP had just fired Hill at the conclusion of theBig East tourney

 

[RUsince52]

Freeman, horrible pass while dribbling instead of getting control and making a smart pass. Steps on baseline.

 

[RUsojo]

Fran is OK

 

[soundcrib]

Free man

 

[bac2therac]

Iowa on 18-4 run all of a sudden...we just do not have firepower to go on these runs..sigh

 

[RU848789]

goddamnit, down 30-22 now

 

[soundcrib]

Here come their 3s

 

[RUTrack94]

Sorry guys ... I turned it on when down by 2

 

[RU848789]

Thiam makes his first trey, then clangs his next 2 off the backboard, leading to breaks for Iowa - that's bad.

 

[bac2therac]

key point of the game here..they went up 8, we cut it to 6 with a chance to claw back in before halftime...need to keep this single digits and not let it get away

 

[miketd1]

Sorry guys ... I turned it on when down by 2

Could have been me. I did the same...

 

[RUsince52]

This looks like two evenly matched teams.

Except for the shooting part of it.

 

[bac2therac]

effort is there today, overall much better play than either the PSU or MSU game

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Sorry guys ... I turned it on when down by 2

You bastard!!

 

[bac2therac]

a Jonathan Laurent sighting

 

[bac2therac]

battling and competing

 

[bac2therac]

Iowa's youth will keep RU in this game, they are just too inconsistent especially without Jok on the floor

 

[soundcrib]

1 footers

 

[RU Mike73]

Nice to get O rebounds but if you can't make stick back doesn't matter. Three missed bunnies last minute.

 

[RU848789]

Sanders!

 

[PatrickRU92]

damn happy with that last 90secs!!!

GO RU!

 

[RU848789]

8-0 run to close out the half to tie it at 32. And Sanders with a highlight reel steal and drive to the hoop, faking the dunk and laying it in with the off hand. Nice!

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Sanders got on sportscenter with that move!

+1.

 

[BillyC80]

What a finish to the half!

 

[bac2therac]

8-0 run to end the half tied at 32...when was the last time you saw that. Iowa struggled with Jok who sat and RU took advantage of turnovers and battled hard for boards

IMO, RU's best half in league play this year. Can they keep it up when Jok comes back

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Sanders got on sport center with that move!

That was Michael Jordan 2.0.

 

[miketd1]

I see you Corey Sanders!

 

[BillyC80]

That fake dunk/lay-in by Corey is the shot of the night!

We can't let them go on a run to start the half. We have done that much of the season against good teams, and it kills us.

 

[soundcrib]

We make 1 footers we're up 10

 

[RutgersRaRa]

I see you Corey Sanders!

I heard that, too--loved it!!

 

[FastMJ]

That Sanders play might be the best RU play I've seen in 33 years of being a fan.

 

[RUsince52]

Nice little run before the half. Sanders can really get up in space. Keep the bad passes to a minimum and who knows.

 

[RedSpartan]

That was Michael Jordan 2.0.

My thoughts exactly. It may be blasphemy, but that really was Jordan-esque. Just absurd hops and athleticism. Wow.
