Can't wait for tonight. It will obviously be a better game than what happened last year especially since lately we have been playing good basketball. Henson and Zeller will need big nights for this game to be a dub.

JRTPlaya21 · 02-09-2011, 06:01 PM

Good luck! It should be a dandy.

I'm with Scotty...think Rutgers has a real chance to win this one with 'Nova possibly looking ahead to Gameday against Pitt on Saturday. Plus Rutgers is a solid team and they're at home. Should be a good one.

scottyboy · 02-09-2011, 07:00 PM

i'm kicking myself for not going, I should totally be there right now. i'm an idiot haha but go RU!
good luck derza, here's to a good game

Yeah you definitely should, I'd imagine it'll be a great game. Right back at you. Obviously losing lucks but I like RU, I'm a Jersey guy and kind of want to go to grad school there down the road so of any game to lose this one wouldn't be too bad.

LOL at this Larry Drew II ********. He's terrible. If anyone thinks otherwise, just look at how good Carolina is now versus how they had been playing 2-3 weeks ago.

Great Point Guards make great teams.

They were playing well before he left too, blaming him for everything is ridiculous that whole team was a mess early in the year. He's not a great starter, but he's a solid backup.

derza222 · 02-09-2011, 09:06 PM

That is the worst collapse I have seen from 'Nova. Really ugly second half, Rutgers just didn't go away. Really impressive.

BTW congrats on the W Scotty, can't say I didn't see it coming but losing like that hurts. Bet you regret not going!

scottyboy · 02-09-2011, 09:11 PM

wow, whoooooooooooooooooo
what a game!
good game derza.
damn I love Mike Rice
what a tough way to lose. it sucks we finally won one of our close games against 'nova since I like you guys but yesssssssssssssssssss

yo123 · 02-09-2011, 09:15 PM

Duke is going to win this, UNC is too young and they look totally panicked right now by Duke's energy and the crowd noise.

JRTPlaya21 · 02-10-2011, 12:12 PM

That Rutgers comeback was beyond epic. Watched that with some of my boys and his family. Then to top the night off Nolan for 34. God I love the Seniors.

Giantsfan1080 · 02-10-2011, 12:14 PM

I don't know where my post from last night went but,
Rutgers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mike Rice really has us going in the right direction. I can't wait to see what he does with the team when we have high quality talent coming in.

derza222 · 02-10-2011, 01:01 PM

Definitely one of the three worst losses 'Nova's had since I've been here. They got complacent at the end of the game and paid for it, have to credit Rutgers for not giving up and hitting a ton of shots, they were on fire towards the end. Really frustrating to watch, still stings today. Hopefully they'll learn from it and really come together, but at this point winning the conference (which was possible) is a pipe dream. Will be interesting to see if the team rallies and can finish alright in conference play and make some noise in the Big East tourney, or if they fold. Also, key mistakes from seniors Fisher and Pena (missed FT and foul by Fish after he'd been great all game, and that atrocious outlet by Pena that led to the first 3 in the 8-0 run that got Rutgers back in it) just can't be acceptable. And after what he did late in the game last night, James Bell should get some more PT. Hopefully Gameday against Pitt is good. Also can take solace in the fact that I kind of expected this, at least I know my team. Would've been better if it had been a back and forth game instead of leading nearly the entire way.

I can't wait to see Ohio State get their first lost at the Kohl Center in Madison

thenewfeature06 · 02-10-2011, 04:21 PM

^^ This. I just hope that they can score enough.

I was a little wrong about Craft.. BUT Wisconsin usually plays good defense for the most part and Jordan Taylor is a beast.

Why the OSU hate?

OSU wins by double digits, despite the Wiscy big men hacking the **** out of Sullinger.

Craft will have issues with Taylor due to Taylor's height.

yo123 · 02-10-2011, 05:05 PM

I really doubt it's a double digit game, Wisky is one of the better home teams in the nation. They don't really have the bangers inside to compete with Sullinger though, their big men are more perimeter oriented. Jordan Taylor will probably destroy Craft, he's way too big and strong for him.

I'll say OSU 69 Becky 67

You are speaking rationally. I am speaking like an OSU fan :)

Glad to see at least one college sport does things right. I'm not getting up off the coach for the entire first 2 rounds of games.

Hurricanes25 · 02-10-2011, 07:38 PM

Dwight Hardy is going off against UCONN. St. John's up by 22 with 10 mins left.

yo123 · 02-10-2011, 07:49 PM

Uconn has been overrated all year, they're so reliant on Walker and he gets in his "I need to get mine" mode too often.

prock · 02-10-2011, 08:36 PM

This has been the worst officiated 10 minutes of basketball. The Gophers have been robbed blatantly twice already.

Apparently it's legal to physically stick your hand through the basket while someone is trying to dunk. Exact same thing happened against Ohio State and no call.

They have ******* replay and they can't get it right.
