MBB: Rutgers open thread

at this damn game

The God damn turnovers.

Is this the closest Rutgers has been against a B1G opponent this year?

Two air balls by Robinson in one game. Never saw that before - so I got that goin for me.

Rest of the team is D2 caliber.

Just tuning in.  Did Rutgers really just have a total of zero players on the lane when they were shooting a free throw?  Just totally not even trying for an offensive rebound off of their own free throw?  WTF is with that?

or 8-2 spurt to pull away.

As much shit as we all like to give Charmin Soft Donnal, he really is a fundamentally sound ball player with decent hands/touch.

Well that was a poor possession...

If they escape this one with a win, I hope they go away with a bad taste in their mouths and a realization that they're just not talented enough to get away with this kind of play even against bad teams.  Hopefully take it as a lesson and move on.  The schedule only gets tougher after Penn. St. and they need to be ready for a good stretch run to make the tournament.

by UM.

bball right now

Lol that was so Rutgers basketball

Missed free throw out of bounds.

Walton Why not take it strong to the hoop and draw a foul in the closing minute instead of the drive, dish and missed 3?

did we not have anyone in the lane on those FT's?

... we're only down by 10 to a team that gave us the ball back like that? 

smh.

Edit: sorry. initially wrote "losing." freudian slip?

from the free throw lane lately.

but a win is a win.  Right?

but a win is a win.  Right?

Hail to the Victors Valiant!

I'll take it - Rutgers is shitty. Michigan played shitty and still won.

Next.

Swanigan out for Purdue. Dude balled out against Iowa, was fun to watch. Maybe a way for Minnesota to sneak one...(doubtful).

Welp a lackluster effort means none of the bench got rare minutes except for the 1.5 minutes that sent Chapman back to the pine. Wagner was the first big off the bench but didn't see the floor after the first rotation. On the bright side, Doyle actual had 2 finishes and Dawkins gave best energy of the bunch and a highlight reel missed dunk.

the way they played, oof, need to play better.

A win is a win BUT man we seem to be developing a pattern of playing down to the competition and thats dangerous when you are in the hunt for a BIG Title and high NCAA seed. They can go even up with Indiana with a win and Iowa has some losses approaching so I hope this team understands the position they are in right now because they sure havent played like it the last few games after Maryland....

I love Duncan, but he went to my arch-rival high school - GO BIG BLUE!

Glad we've picked the worst two conference opponents to crap the bed against.
