Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

That's a positive. We may actually need it at some point in the tournament.
Brad should have just switched RJ off Harper earlier rather than bench him for so long. He’s looking good now
I’m not buying the rally but I can find a silver lining in these Hawk and RJ highlights
RJ needs starter minutes!

All the "slow down on RJ" folks....ya, no thanks.
Looks like somebody found RJ.
Cubs fans of a certain age might recognize this as the Obligatory Ninth Inning Rally
Brad needs to re-evaluate who provides energy, spark, and the best chance to win.

RJ scored 8 points in 8 minutes. And we, as a team, scored 29 points in first 28 minutes. He deserves more time.
We were without Kofi and Andre in case you forgot but I'm here to remind you. And everyone is this league has nearly lost but the fact is WE DIDN'T.
Melendez is a star in the making....elite defender and plus offense
Alright some fight in the Illini, perhaps a little too late but good to see. At least make the score more respectable!
Fake rally!

Wut wut?? The team has been shellacked in four of the last six halves they've played, and NOT exclusively against superior teams.
Just what I was thinking
I for one would be fine with RJ as a starter over Jake or DMW if for nothing else but to light a fire. He is out playing some guys he is currently behind in the rotation.
This is going to be RJs team next year. Without a doubt.
