Rutgers IU
- Thread starter ImBadRU

Huge game for us. We need this win over you guys. I am sure it will be a very competitive game.
But now we have TJD playing the best basketball of his life. That first game he was hampered by the back injury and JHS was out with a stiff back. Rutgers got our D game that day in December.
Going to be a tough game for sure. Better bring it. I hope we rush the court after beating them and trample their bitch ass players
Love Woody telling team to enjoy today’s win for an hour because we Rutgers coming up next…and I like it that several players said “Rutgers” along with Woody.
Complaining is brain-dead easy and gives a person a feeling of superiority and strokes their ego. TJD is someone to take pride in.
They said that right before we played them the first time, too. They better come out more ready to play this time.
I was thinking Geronimo and Banks because Race can't move or jump very well.
He is smart, humble and a wonderful young man. I don't know anyone that doesn't like him.
It will be a mental grind. We played with tremendous energy Saturday especially in 1st half. Need some bench players to bring a lot of energy and Woody to trust them.
There is a reason it is called a letdown game. It is not easy to rev back up so soon after such an intense game. It is true of all sports. Doesn’t mean we fans shouldn’t encourage the players, coaches, and staff to rise to the occasion, but it is not as simple as just moving on to the next game.
True, but man, if there's one team we should not have as a letdown game, it's Rutgers.
To give the game a little extra juice both teams will be ranked. #18 vs. #24
And they're coming off a big win against Sparty. Something tells me they won't have a letdown.
RU has an extremely vital 6-7 lightning quick, snake sprung out of can like, defensive player injured who won’t play.
It is what it is.
He’s like a great short stop who saves more runs than he drives in….this kid may not score much, but he makes stops all game long.

Mag was injured. He averages 7.8 but hey our starting Point guard has been out since Kansas.
I am betting everything I lost on the first one plus some. We are gonna kill ‘em.
this is very likely to be the game to determine 2nd place in the B1G.... We certainly had better be up for it
If the Hoosiers can keep up their hot shooting no reason not to think this could be another comfortable home win. I say that not as any disrespect to Rutgers, they're extremely well-coached and play great team defense, rather I just don't think they have the offensive fire power if this game is played in the 70's. This is a game Rutgers wants to play in the 50's if possible and they will if we let them. Need to make shots and speed them up on offense.
It isn’t embarrassing to rush the court after beating the #1 team in the country.
The best thing about this game is having it at home. After an emotional win like Saturday, being in a comfortable environment and sleeping in your own bed is a huge plus. Airplane flight and hotel beds have a way of contributing to fatigue. As much as the players know what is at stake and that they have to be prepared, it is always easier to say it than to do it. Having to get back "up" and play well in a hostile environment and an unfamiliar court is always a challenge. I'm glad RU won against Sparty. It might relieve some of the urgency in their minds.
No doubt Rutgers will be prepared and they have as much at stake as we do. But it is still always nice in big games to be the home dog and use the crowd's energy.
