Dain all of the sudden couldn’t find the handle. I believe we are getting hacked a lot that’s not being called

Quick thoughts....
We played a really strong first half, except for: (1) Turnovers, and (2) Fouls. I still think/hope that we'll pull out the "W", but those two things are enough to burn us.

TSJ is the best player on the court and a monster getting to the rim. Dain with huge minutes with two fouls while managing to not get his third. The transfers showing their experience and handling the hostile environment well. We let them back in, which sucks, but keep up the effort, protect the basketball, and we got this.
Looks that way, but that's what you get on the road in the BT except at our place.
Whichever team wins the first five minutes after half wins this game.
So is Dainja.
I feel pretty good considering Rutgers made some tough shots (see banked three), and we bailed them out with some cheap fouls. Felt like we missed some bunnies in the final 7 or 8 there too, which might be RU’s length too. At the end of the day, losing this game will be our own doing via turnovers if we can’t be more ball sound in the 2nd half.
2-3 FTs and Rutgers is 8-13. Nobody said winning on the road in the Big Ten is going to be easy.
Shannon going downihll a lot, Gurrier, Dain attacking....so it's not like we're just settling for 3s

Really should consider these shots turnovers.
Eliminate some of the fouls and turnovers the second half and we’ll be fine. Rutgers didn’t really show much and we haven’t run on all cylinders yet.

That lucky banked in 3 started the comeback
Turnovers that I believe led to 2 3’s on the other end

But Dainja isn't coming off injury.
I don’t think 12-8 is that lopsided, when we just don’t run a lot of offense that draws fouls (and probably shouldn’t with our free throw shooting).
My point was that there are missed calls both ways all the time. To which Floridaman responded that I was incorrect on the missed calls that favored us (one of which Bardo called out live as it was so obvious).
There are going to be lots of plays and contact that could be called every game. Some posters on here refuse to see the ones that benefit us, and then claim “we’re getting screwed” in various phrasing by pointing out the ones that benefit the opponent.
All that said, I need to learn to end this crusade and just let other posters see what they want to see… sincerely. Go Illini.
They are sure having trouble with our D

I'm DJ bald head ref and I approve this message.......................
If we take better care of the ball and hit a few threes we will be fine.
We have to cut down on the turnovers and hit some shots.

Bruce is one missed haircut away from being Doc Brown, and I love it.
That’s different from foul problem though.

I certainly didn’t expect RU to lie down and take the L in the RAC, so I’m thankful for the halftime lead. We are the better team, IMO … keep the same effort and clean up the turnovers slightly, and we can walk out of here with a 1-0 conference record!
