2 TV night! Go BIG BLUE! GO RU!

 

[RU848789]

I feel good about this game - we can beat these guys and I have to assume we're fired up after the last few...

 

[RU848789]

Nice start for Freeman!

 

[RU848789]

8-0 run!

 

[RU Mike73]

Got to finish at the rim.

 

[BillyC80]

Great start. This looks like a favorable match-up for us.

 

[MadRU]

Freeman with a quick move jump hook, just like I wanted. Keep it up

 

[BillyC80]

8-8, first timeout.

 

[soundcrib]

Here we go with the missed 1 footers

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Why do we have Gettys outside so much?

 

[PatrickRU92]

OMG a 3!!

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Nigel for 3!

 

[BillyC80]

Nigel for 3!

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Have to limit the TOs.

 

[BillyC80]

11-8 RU.

 

[bac2therac]

RU cannot win a game that is going to be in the 80s......have to keep Iowa under 70. I do not like the pace early even as we have a lead

 

[RutgersRaRa]

We are gong to have make our FTs, because we'll get to the line this game.

 

[soundcrib]

Take freeman out

 

[bac2therac]

I think Iowa starts 4 freshmen

 

[BillyC80]

Thiam 3!

 

[PatrickRU92]

THIAM

 

[RU848789]

If Thiam could start being a threat from three, we'd be so much better - nice to see him hit that one

 

[BillyC80]

RU 14-10.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Thiam!! Notice his arc on his shot--high arc, it goes in. Low arc means he's rushing it and he misses.

 

[PatrickRU92]

and how exactly was that a foul???

 

[RUsince52]

Gettys nice cutoff on the baseline, but than gives it up on the drive.
Still too nonchalant on passing up top when the defense is 5 feet away.
When we have the numbers, we don't push it and at least draw a foul.

 

[BillyC80]

Jam by Sa on feed from Shaq!

 

[RU848789]

Bad sequence there after going up 6...now up 2

 

[BillyC80]

This looks like two evenly matched teams.

Our passing is the softest of any team I watch, including the women's games. It's been problem all year, and we are still lazy passing the ball up high. Thiam is the one passer who fires it every time.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Mike Williams can't jog back on that last play...the pass went right in front of him for the layup.

 

[RUsince52]

I think some of our guys need eye exams. Another 3 that hits the backboard from straight on, almost impossible to do from there.

 

[RutgersRaRa]

This looks like two evenly matched teams.

Which is sad because I think they are starting 4 freshmen.

 

[BillyC80]

Nigel for 2, up 4.

 

[RU848789]

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

 

[RU848789]

Would like to see Sanders shooting more...

 

[bac2therac]

offense really struggling as Iowa has stepped up the defense

 

[PatrickRU92]

so for those who are counting, Iowa has played 5 guys who are legit 3 point threats

 

[BillyC80]

Refs are letting them play. Good to see.

 

[bac2therac]

This looks like two evenly matched teams.

we dont have Jok, he is the difference maker plus they have better shooters
