Like I said no complaints. I'll take a road win to go 2-2 in league.

I am glad they got the monkey off their backs. Hopefully now they can start playing with some confidence now because all their ball fakes and hesitation around the rim has to change.

Glad they got the win. Not a great win, but a decent one on the road..
SK has to be better.

A win is a win
But lets not pussyfoot around here. A good team beats us tonight. Rutgers had multiple open looks and shots around the rim they did not convert that the previous teams made to beat us
And offensively without Cash we lose this game. Zero improvement
We took another step back IMO

Welp, we got 2 more tune up games before 'Cuse. Time to get down to business. A 10 point win on the road against a decent opponent is worth a lot in College BB.

Not sure what 2 tune up games you are talking about. DePaul yes but Marquette is going to be another tough home game which we could easily lose. I watched them play today and they are a solid solid team. Their guards are just as good as we are and they have bigger guys and all their players can finish around the rim.

Marquette is having a down year. They are equal to Rutgers. Nothing great.

hahaha, no way. Is that why they are 3-0 in BE play with wins against UConn, Gtown and Pitt. Seeing how we suck at home lately, it could be a rough ride. Hate to say it but that is a Ralphy comment.

They are sporadic. You have seen them when they are good, I saw them when they played bad.

They lost to Green Bay and got demoed by Florida (82-49). They are very streaky.
That's your takeaway from this game? Wow.
A road win against a team that really gets up for ranked opponents (4-2 the last two years) and they didn't just squeak by them, they maintained a double-digit lead for the majority of the game. They were only a 4.5 point favorite.

You seem surprised
If youre excited about the direction of this team, thus far, youre in for a rude awakening.
Rutgers played terrible offensively and had open looks. Our offense without, Cash, may have put up 30

They are streaking now, Buzz is a good coach and I'm sure they remember the last time they played at our place. Hopefully they find their bad side like you sad.

I'm excited, Mick will figure things out, he knows what he is doing. It is just a matter of time. Hope he finds out sooner rather than later. Offense is frustrating, but we just need a game where everything comes together and we dominate from start to finish.

And to add to that, cash had a few 3 pointers that went down but were prayers at the end of the shot clock which weren't the best of shots. He shot the ball like 18 times he should have points, which I don't mind because I like when he is a scoring pg and not a set up pg.
I am really concerned how this team can't finish, they avoid contact at will. Like I said before, hopefully they start playing with confidence around the rim now that they won BC tonight was ugly.

Not any easy win for us, but not incredibly hard like 'Cuse. We have to play our best game of the year to beat Syracuse, whereas we can play okay and beat Marquette this year. It is just hard enough to help us be prepared for the Big Monday game.
So this was simply about Rutgers playing terrible offense. It had nothing to do with one of the best defensive teams in the country?
Yes, without Cash they would have lost. Without Jordan the Bulls don't have 6 titles. What the hell is your point?
Since you only seem to care about offense do you not acknowledge a winner for the 2011 National title?
Haha
Ill pretend you didnt watch the game
Defensively we lapsed, luckily we played Rutgers
Quit settling for mediocrity.
A win is a win but we look like horseshit right now
Overreact to every loss and disqualify the wins because of what the opponent did or did not do. Gotcha.
Or sit there and claim that you like the direction of the team THUS FAR....Gotcha
