RU @ Iowa Game Thread

[RutgersRaRa]

We make 1 footers we're up 10

I still can't figure that out, why we miss so many shots around the rim.

 

[RUsojo]

Hitting the offensive glass hard. Tons of put backs off Sanders penetration - always drawing the help defender.

 

[bac2therac]

RU shooting 15-34 for 44%
Iowa shooting 13-28% for 46.4%

Iowa is 6-15 from 3, RU is 2-6, RU outrebounding Iowa 20-16 and winning the turnover battle 7-9

 

[bac2therac]

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.

yes, we did all that work to take advantage and get it to even but we have to build on that momentum. Jok has 10 and you know they are going to go to him big time, RU needs to try and draw that 3rd and 4th foul on him because Iowa is very ordinary when he isnt on the floor. RU may be the more experienced team on the court and may have the higher bball IQ, first five minutes are always important

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Happy with the half. Hoping for another 20 minutes of focus and hustle.

 

[Rutgers25]

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

Not blasphemy ...that was freakish...nobody ever said Corey is not an elite athlete

 

[bac2therac]

what is amazing is only 2 free throws have been taken and none of them were by RU

Giants game??? Thought everyone had the weekend off in NFL...[smoke]

 

[S_Janowski]

Gotta love the bench player on Iowas reaction. What a play.

 

[RU848789]

Like Laurent's play tonight.

 

[RU848789]

How the hell does Gettys not make that? I like some of what he does, but he sucks around the basket.

A whole generation of kids practiced that move

Gotta love the bench player on Iowas reaction. What a play.

saw that on my DVR too LOL

 

[MikeR0102]

Diallo with the dunk! Up 3? Unbelievable.

 

[bac2therac]

great start....RU up 40-37

 

[RU848789]

Giants? Germans? Huh?

 

[PatrickRU92]

shockingly, with no outisde shooting we are doing an absolutely AMAZING job at breaking the zone. Didn't think we had it in us.

Keep it going fellas!!! Can we get Williams hot maybe???

 

[BillyC80]

Wow, great start to second half. Diallo with the sweet flush!

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Time to get Diallo more minutes?

 

[BillyC80]

Agree, Diallo neeeds to play more.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

A poor shooting team like us made a team come out of a zone...a small victory.

 

[BillyC80]

Nigel makes both, RU up 5.

 

[BillyC80]

Good foul.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Up until now I thought staying off the line was part of our strategy

 

[RUsince52]

Have to say it, FT 100% wow !

 

[RU848789]

Can't make bad TOs like that...

 

[bac2therac]

RU controlling it right now

 

[Pritz99]

How many ties will nigel drive against 4 and flip it up?

 

[RU848789]

Freeman! Nice follow - playing very well tonight.

 

[BillyC80]

Nice put back by Freeman!

 

[RUsince52]

We get a gift and return the favor.

 

[BillyC80]

RU by 8!

 

[MikeR0102]

3 for 3! Up 8 on the road.

 

[RU848789]

49-41 on a trey from Sanders!

 

[bac2therac]

RU on a 25-9...wow...where did this come from?

 

[BillyC80]

Bad turnover.

 

[RU848789]

If Sanders could shoot even 35% from trey, we'd win many more games...

 

[RU848789]

We're really playing nice D

 

[BillyC80]

Defense is stellar!
