Official IU vs Rutgers Game Thread

[rocketo]

Peeps falling down on the job, so I started one. I feel like we need to bully Rutgers tonight.

 

[rocketo]

To add to this, Rutgers has just pumped us out lately. I feel like nobody takes them seriously. But they are a good team, and if you want to beat them, you either need to just be vastly superior talent, or you need to be ready to throw down.

Can't let them take transition offense away from us and we need to make it a grind for them on the other end.

You are a true fan Rocketo. Let's get those smug faces off the Scarlet Knights and beat their hind parts.

Rutgers doesn't get bullied. The key for Indiana is knocking down open 3's when Rutgers doubles TJD. It will come down to 3 point shooting tonight IMO

Agree. Need to turn them over and push on rebounds.

No joke! Smug! Perfect word for them

That’s where you are wrong. If you don’t go into the game like like that, you are already beaten.

 

[rocketo]

Need to keep pushing. And in half court, have to get the ball into the paint.

 

[rocketo]

JHS bringing it.

 

[SIhoosier26]

JHS and Trayce with B2B play of the year candidates.

 

[Hatchets7times]

Couple crazy highlight shots from TJD / JHS !!

 

[SIhoosier26]

It's about time Race Thompson hung them up, he simply hurts this team.

That was ugly..
Wide open...

 

[SIhoosier26]

Trayce Jackson Davis is ridiculous

 

[ams66]

Good start but can we maintain? Team has seemed to lack a real killer instinct.

 

[Victorbmyboy]

Don’t like this lineup

I see Banks. Any news on Gunn's status?

Earlier this year, we saw Gunn occasionally but never saw Banks. Now, it's reversed.

 

[SIhoosier26]

Rutgers in any other conference with competent refs is a mediocre basketball team, they rely on seeing what they can get away with and it's worked for them this year especially at home.

 

[chaboom]

Sports Center #1 right there

ON JHS's shot when you get fouled just throw it up there and hope for the best. It's what I did at Foster park and it works in Assembly Hall.

 

[SIhoosier26]

Race Thompson back in the game and Rutgers goes on a run. Playing 5 on 4 is hard.

 

[HoosierAlum07]

Guard the danm 3pt line!!!

 

[IUNorth]

Not good that we’re only up 3 right now. Not sure we can play that well offensively in the 2nd half against Rutgers defense.

Looked like Rutgers started clogging the foul lane on defense but we kept dribbling and passing there anyway.

 

[Middawg]

Hoosiers have the dumbest turnovers on bad passes.

Needed that reverse layup but Trey to go down to blow the roof off the joint.


Rutgers bench warmers shooting out of their minds from 3 is a kick in the nuts.

I need more Malik and Banks and less Race.

 

[ImBadRU]

Thought we were on the verge of getting destroyed.

 

[The Vid]

Race stinking up the gym again. Hope he can turn the corner

 

[Beorik]

Race stinking up the gym again. Hope he can turn the corner

I agree but the frustrating thing is that Reneau and Geronimo both gave up wide open 3s the second they get in almost every time. I am so over having 4 centers on this roster, 2 of which play out of position all the time.

 

[HoosierAlum07]

This is the Race we saw at the end of last season! Not good!

 

[IUHoopster]

This looks line and is being officiated like an AAU game. A little quicksand towards the end of the half. Regain your composure, Hoosiers and put this team away!

I’m tired of having one with chronic sinusitis that can’t give us any minutes.

 

[ams66]

Kopp having a good game

Geronimo played tonight? He's not in the ESPN box score.

Yeah. Not making the smart plays consistently

He needs removed from the game right now

 

[rocketo]

Geronimo played tonight? He's not in the ESPN box score.

He was out there for about 2 mins in a turrible lineup

 

[Spirito76]

Geronimo played tonight? He's not in the ESPN box score.

I think I saw him give up an open three. Then he sat.

 

[SIhoosier26]

He needs removed from the game right now

And the rest of the season

 

[Victorbmyboy]

Geronimo played tonight? He's not in the ESPN box score.

Yes he was in at the beginning of that run. Left his player wide open for a 3. Wasn’t in long. He’s not 100%. He does need some floor time.
