Reminder... Tenn at Rutgers tonight

[DaddyChoc]

I can't remember the last RU-TN game that wasn't strange. Shot clock issues, losing big leads, travel problems.

I don't know who will win, but something interesting will happen.

especially if Tenn wins

Who wins now really isn't important March and April is when it will count, but then again any TN loss is like a Yankee loss.

Don't mention the Yankees and LVs in the same sentence. You know how upset the humorless get over the Evil Empire references.

Anyone for scores?

RU 68 Tn 63

I won't attempt to even pick a winner in this one. It should be a good game to watch.

 

[CCinCT]

I don't care who wins as long as it's not TN Go RU!

One of the few times I'll root for Rutgers

Devil? Deep Blue Sea? Devil? Deep Blue Sea?

The owner of my favorite fried chicken joint failed to see the humor when I stopped by to pick up an order last week for Messrs Beckett and Lester. I can't imagine why !

LOL
The package store was the next stop !

crazy how RU has everyone from last year back and then some, hopefully they make some noise in the big east .. just not against uconn lol

It will be interesting to see how both teams respond to the constant defensive pressure they both like to play. Tenn was pretty sloppy against DePaul and RU is always sloppy with the ball. Could be an ugly game. Both coaches aren't known for their offensive minds.

This is one of the few games that I will be rooting for Rutgers. It would take an act of god for me to root for Tennessee.

A perfect example of "the lesser of two evils" !

Well, since RU has only beaten them once, those are the odds.

But I don't get what you are saying.

I feel like Tennessee has our number sometimes. I was at the clockwork orange game, incidently. Felt worse than the game we threw away the lead, since, we knew we (technically) won the game. The game we lost the big lead, well, we lost it.

The one win in the CVS era was epic, part of the program's best week ever, a huge comeback win at Texas, then Tennessee and LSU at home - all highly ranked (LSU was, I think, #1) that year.

Also part of the history - pre CVS - the "ice storm" game. Pat took her #1 Tennessee players for a night out in NY before playing unranked Rutgers during a huge ice storm (small crowd). RU player Caroline deRoose went off, and it was the first loss for a #1 team to someone unranked, ever. Subsequently, RU made history a few years later when they also upsot #2 Notre Dame while unranked, becoming the only program to do both feats.

The game has Tennesse up by one with seven seconds remaining and the clock stops giving Rutgers three chances to make the winning basket as the clock runs out. Rutgers by one 57-56. Imus interviews the team after this exciting finish.

Is this game streaming anywhere? I have no cable tonight, and would like to see the game rather than depend on Gametracker.

Try ESPN3 -- just checked and it is on the 3

Power goes out for 3 hours, freak pipe burst in the locker room floods the floor and leads to a 3 hour delay and shorts out the game and shot clock. Four players left on the court for each team after all the starters and first off the benchers foul out. Phantom foul turns the ball over with 1.6 seconds left in the 5th overtime. Game ends around 3:15 AM with a 3/4 shot at the buzzer. Score? 142-139. Not saying who wins.

Chapette has nailed it! The exact scenario! Except, the 5-overtime score is 42-39.

Rutgers can't hit the broadside of a barn right now.

Neither can the LV's. Almost glad I can't watch this. Is it defensive pressure or just ineptness?

 

[alexrgct]

4-2 after four minutes and 15 seconds. And the D hasn't been that good. Ugh.

D has been OK, but mostly just ineptness on O.

 

[Kevin G]

Man, this game is terrible! Both teams cant do anything. Typical ref bail out for Tenn. It's the only way for them to score right now
