Maybe if we can get a quick 9-0 run out of Trent we can make this a game again.

Why is Rutgers this good? We have the better players. Doesn’t make any sense.

Their starting five matches up with anyone.
Add to that, they seem to mainline energy from their home crowd.

Here comes the blowout! We go 1 - 14 from 3 in the 1st half so let's shoot a bunch more in the 2nd half.

That's how this team wins games. They live by the three and die by it. It's why we see scoring droughts, it's why we don't get to the line and it's why the offense can look awful and beautiful in the same game(see Northwestern and Purdue for recent examples). It's what they are, for better and for worse. Tonight, they are facing a team with big guards who can close out on the shooter quickly, so most shots are contested. When you look at Plummer and Frazier.....it's not easy being 6'1" shooting over 6'4".

We have not been good for a while now. It looks like the team has lost its' collective confidence. Better find it quick or we are in for a short March

Team let's miss shots affect every other part of the game. No rebounding no defense. To late in the season to be having these issues. Getting run out the building by Rutgers idk how much more I can watch..

We can't hit the side of a barn & Rutgers can't miss. This is hard to watch.

This may be our worst effort of the season. Out worked, out rebounded, out shot.

We have looked poor since halftime of the Purdue game and we are finally paying the piper. Unfortunately, these are the losses you will look back on at the end of the season and think what if when it came to winning the BIG10.

A big piece of rebounding is effort, if guys aren’t gonna try them play some who will. I get the defense may not be there, but I’d rather get blown out and happy with the effort then this

I love Trent as much as anyone, but his face is on a milk carton since the Indiana game. Very unfortunate for a 5th year player.

Who says we have the better players? You are not giving Rutgers their due. Their starting 5 can match up with anyone's in the conference. They played poorly early this season, but they've put it together and have the best in conference wins by far.
