RU vs Turtle People Game Thread

[RUJMM78]

Sanders scored only 2 points in the second half.Its amazing Rutgers isn't losing by 20 points .

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

This is so much better to watch than last year. You know teams are loaded ahead of us but there is light at then end of the tunnel.

 

[bac2therac]

Even at 14-21 (67%) instead of 8-21, we'd only be down 60-57.

ehh the game might go differently too though, I think Maryland stretched that lead and then went to sleep letting RU cut the gap

 

[Jackson206:)]

The team plays their *** off. They just have no shooters. A couple of shooters changes everything.

 

[cRURah]

How can everyone on the team be so bad at free throws? 8 for 21

only if Pike recruits..these guys will be gone by the time we hit the tourney, recruited over

 

[bac2therac]

going to be close for those who play in Vegas

 

[G- RUnit]

We play great D and play hard. Got to get a JC shooter next year.

[bac2therac]

that was the right call

 

[RU848789]

Flagrant - killer...

They need to work on that desperately--only no naked free throw shooting practices at the RAC

 

[cRURah]

It's almost unfair. They play hard, hustle, never give up, rebound like madmen, play smothering defense, and their crazy athletic. They just can't put the ball in the hoop.

 

[bac2therac]

oh Freeman missed that easy shot

Maryland limping to the finish unimpressively but did what they had to do to win, no one counts style points

 

[RC85]

oh another phantom foul on RU

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

MD got half their points in a 12 minutes stretch in the end of the 1st and being in of 2nd

 

[greenknight]

There was no foul not that it matters

 

[bac2therac]

oh doorson

 

[RutgersRaRa]

What are we from the line now?

 

[greenknight]

Doorson will throw up 2 bricks

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Tough to lose getting 25 offensive rebounds

 

[greenknight]

2 ugly foul shots but he made them

 

[RutgersRaRa]

What was the line on this game?

 

[bac2therac]

What was the line on this game?

was it 11 or 11.5

 

[RU Mike73]

It was 13

 

[Upstream]

I have to give this team credit for fighting hard for 40 minutes.

 

[RJM_Go_RU]

Good effort, defense, rebounding, like the fight in this team, well-coached. Free-throw and outside shooting obviously the Achilles heel.

 

[Local Shill]

Beyond frustrating.

 

[ScarletDave]

12 to the top team in the B1G on the road. Truly amazing job by Pike.

Also, they kept showing the standings. We have played 6 of the top 7 (all losses) and still have to play EVERYONE in the bottom 7 of the conference, minus Nebraska, plus UMD at home, Wisconsin at the garden and Purdue I think. Still. Record does not say what this team is and I think will reflect at the end of the season. Keep pounding. Great game today, have to hit FTs to beat the top teams. Have a shot against anyone though.

I would disagree with that analysis only in that shooting around the basket is also a major issue.

 

[RUTrack94]

Good to see if they hit all free throws, they win . Means they had a chance.

 

[RUJMM78]

Another game where Rutgers failed to score more than 60 points.Maryland 67-55.10-24 foul line.

Sanders scored 25 points in the win against Nebraska and the team had 65 points.Tonight Sanders scores 15 points and Rutgers had 55 points.The 10 point differential was critical because Rutgers clearly lacks offensive options.

the bottom of the league is tough. The effort tonight was great but the outcome never in doubt. Pike is doing a great job keeping the teams from quitting and has them fighting, thats all you can ask. But I disagree, the record in league is what it is for a reason. No doubt the team will play hard but it is still the least talent team in the league...hopefully the effort is enough to pull 2-3 more wins out

 

[golconda]

Gutsy team! They're gonna win or lose these games on the foul line.

 

[bac2therac]

It was 13

it was 11.5 on all the sites I just saw

 

[dconifer0]

Good job Rutgers, my son's alma mater!

 

[ruclass76]

In Vegas -- couldn't resist betting on RU +11.5. Although a loser again, progress is being made, but Pike's got to get some recruits.

Absolutely. Pike is definitely moving the program in the right direction. Just a stud or two is all it's gonna' take to get it going...

 

[Shimmy24]

Good game guys. Had you guys shot the ball berter (specifically FTs), you probably would have won the game. We didn't play particularly well, but credit to you guys for hustling all game. The 22 offensive rebounds clearly kept you in it.

Think our defense on Sanders in the second half + some timely shooting put it just out of reach without shots falling for y'all. See you guys next month at the RAC!

 

[RUsince52]

He STINKS. Every time he gets the ball in the post its a turnover. Every. Damn. Time.

There is no deviation when he receives the ball up high as to where he is going to pass it whether the pass is open or not. If nothing else, hold it. Too far into the season to be giving the ball away so carelessly.
