RU vs Ohio St Game Thread

[RU MAN]

God, we're sloppy with the ball.

This game is not about the refs. Yeah there have been a few but it is not the difference by far. it is about turnovers and Scaife/Cooper playing against 8 other players. 5 from OSU and the other 3 from Rutgers doing little but turning it over. I feel bad for them. They really brought it.

 

[RU MAN]

Need that Mitchell type player

We once did. Her name was Cappie Pondexter.

 

[RUTrack94]

Wish someone could put a video of all the bad calls during this game (like those recruit videos) and post on You Tube

Wish I was a BB expert ... If someone did this after every game, you'd see us get more calls

 

[bac2therac]

Mitchell is just bettercthan anyone we have and we arent guarding her...oh well

 

[RU MAN]

I wonder if Stringer should go to a box and one zone. Mitchell is killing us.

 

[RUTrack94]

NIT Time!!!!!!! Think we can make some noise (no Top 10 teams)

 

[RUTrack94]

Another record against RU

 

[RU MAN]

OMG---Mitchell will be around two more years after this year? Oh boy.

 

[RU MAN]

I guess Stringer refuses to play a zone. How about a little pressing?

 

[RUTrack94]

WTF was that ... TO, then no over the back?

 

[RU MAN]

What the hell Canty?

 

[RUTrack94]

Another TO ... Fatigue set in ... Question is can we keep within 20

 

[RUTrack94]

Another TO ... 3 in a row

 

[oldtimer67]

Everyone is worried we are losing 4 seniors. However, just one of any consequence.

 

[RU MAN]

These TI's are inexcusable. I don't care how tired these women are.

 

[bac2therac]

Besides Mitchell it was turnovers that lost this game...so awful with brainless turnovers for no reason

 

[MADHAT1]

Looks like I'm going to be sad

 

[RU MAN]

Good, Stringer. Don't have your best defender shadow Mitchell.

 

[andrewlobby]

It's over, no composure, throwing the ball away. Thank you Kelsey!! Killed by a one-person show, and I don't fault our team or coach for this. This kid cannot miss, how can we beat that??

 

[RUTrack94]

Playing yesterday and the press wore the team out

 

[RUTrack94]

Another TO

 

[RU MAN]

Playing yesterday and the press wore the team out

True. But when a win here could possibly get us into the NCAA's this is really disappointing.

 

[RUTrack94]

Look at the push off on the inbound

 

[RUTrack94]

Step out of bounce and bailed out on a foul ... Mitchell might score 50

 

[RU MAN]

We lost this game because of TO's and the fact we CAN'T shoot from outside. PERIOD! Once OSU's coach made the adjustment to go zone, they shut us down in the third quarter.

 

[bac2therac]

Hollivay the biggest enigma in RU history. ..didnt bother showing up

 

[RUTrack94]

Nice hustle ...

 

[RU MAN]

Even though we lost because of what I mentioned above, the officiating SUCKS!!!

 

[RUmaz]

• Is Mitchell's dad a legit coach or is there another reason he's on that bench?

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Wish I was a BB expert ... If someone did this after every game, you'd see us get more calls

The officiating? In THIS game? Sorry, no, we're just not very good and we're damn sloppy. The "officials" had ZERO to do with the outcome of this game.

 

[MADHAT1]

Playing yesterday and the press wore the team out

Doesn't matter, have to play today and if being tired is the cause of loss, will be resting the off season unless resting up until NIT play.

I'm all for the players ,CVS and her staff , but can't make an excuse for this game.
Ohio St played better and that's that.

 

[RUChoppin]

I'm not able to watch... but Mitchell has 43 of their 71 points? Holy crap... how are we not smothering her and forcing the rest of the team to shoot?

 

[RU MAN]

Hollivay the biggest enigma in RU history. ..didnt bother showing up

Horrible game today. But has Rachel really been good and consistent in her career at RU?

 

[RUTrack94]

Playing to keep it close ... No urgency

 

[bac2therac]

We lost this game because of TO's and the fact we CAN'T shoot from outside. PERIOD! Once OSU's coach made the adjustment to go zone, they shut us down in the third quarter.

Bingo but im sure someone will blame the refs

 

[APKnight]

Harris should have played more in this game. She is good.

 

[RUChoppin]

Bingo but im sure someone will blame the refs

Complaining about bad officiating in women's college basketball is like complaining about the cold in Antarctica... you know it's going to be there going in.

Someone last night seemed confused about why the mods and others on the board objected to the term "ponytail" . I presume you would argue that ponytail just means a 3 point sharpshooter. It was all anyone talked about last night. Yet tonight, when Kelsey Mitchell is raining threes on us, it has not been said once. People have said we need a shooter like her. People have mentioned three point shooting. But not once has the word ponytail been used. Why do you think that is? THAT is why people object to the term.

 

[RU MAN]

NIT, here we come.
