The up way too late game thread

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

disgusting, sloppy playing.

What game are you watching?

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

News Flash....Rutgers up 5

 

[JPhoboken]

Sloppy play and turnovers could be the difference here. Shooting well, need to get the ball inside more.

Stop the turnovers.

 

[Scarletwoman]

Sanders is on fire!

I'm going to try to watch the game on my new tablet while in bed. This should be interesting.

Did someone say there would be ton of Creighton fans here in Veags? An empty Arena.

 

[JPhoboken]

Where is the inside d? Non-existent.

 

[jellyman_rivals307848]

Where is the inside d? Non-existent.

True dat.

And Creighton is hurting RU on the boards.

On the other hand, 8 assists on 14 baskets. And RU is shooting well from 2, 3 and FT.

 

[Trekology]

That miss by Sanders was his first of the game.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Where is the inside d? Non-existent.

It went to the bench with Lewis and his 3 fouls.

 

[JPhoboken]

Please, can somebody put a body on their big men

I didn't say a ton, but there a lot of them there. More than Scarlet.

 

[RUeric]

This is some of the worst "defense" I've seen in a long time by 2 teams in the same game.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

You knew Creighton would score there.

 

[Trekology]

Argh, Creighton player allowed to drive straight to the rim to end the half.

 

[JPhoboken]

How do we let him go coast to coast with 4 seconds. This is the game with no D.

 

[ImBadRU]

All Jordan had to do was put pressure on the inbound play and they would not have scored before the half. Is he asleep half the time. Way too laid back.

 

[chiefs1956]

It looked like the clock was on pause.

 

[RU MAN]

Overall, not a bad first half. Lewis still hasn't learned that he's more valuable on the floor than the bench. He never seems to learn. Two of those fouls were just silly and unnecessary. I like the way Corey is playing. It's the first time in memory where we had a true point guard and he's fun to watch. Daniels made some key threes and Williams made one, but the other two he tried were not even close. I'm still waiting to see him become the 3 point shooter EJ thought he would be when he recruited him.

In the second half, we need to mix our zone more with the man coverage. They have the entire team that shoots threes and that kid 41, I believe is their best outside shooter. We need to rotate better and not let him get so wide open.

 

[goru7]

Stop complaining. We are up 3 at half and point guard is having a game. Enjoy it if you are going to stay up late.

 

[SirScarlet]

Glad we are still ahead. I guess a good half all things considered

By my count this is 3 games in a row where we let the shot clock expire on a half ending or game ending possession. Not a good job by our staff there (again)

Digging the talent on this team...wish they'd dig in on D a bit more...

 

[KJRU]

All in all it was a decent first half, and I agree Sanders is looking good tonight.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Tremendous halftime show. They really know how to create a spectacle in Vegas.

 

[ru66]

that shot clock does look slow

 

[MCKnight]

Ed Obannon is s terrible analyst, ironic too that he is Calling NCAA games after his law suit

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Like what I see so far.

 

[Jtung230]

Goode has to do more when he is in.

 

[RU MAN]

Goode has to do more when he is in.

Agreed. He looks like he'd rather pass the ball instead of looking for his shot.

 

[Silvers88]

I say that the NCAA owes Ed O'Bannon $100m so that he never needs to work again and stops commentating for basketball games.

 

[Jtung230]

that shot clock does look slow

The clock didn't start until the player touches the ball. He touched it at half court. Bad job by EJ.

 

[BKIn118]

I'm across the Court from the bench with about 30 other RU fans...

Creighton has 500 plus....

A voice of reason amongst a board of complainers that nitpick over individual plays in a 40 minute game.

Everyone should have known Creighton is a 3 point shooting team, but, they are Only 4-13 in the first half.

What are your thoughts of what you've seen so far?

 

[RU MAN]

Okay, back to the game. Go RU!

I know, he missed that steal...lol

 

[ImBadRU]

It is not nitpicking to say this team does not play defense. That is a major problem.

 

[Trekology]

That was not a charge

 

[MCKnight]

No defense whatsoever, and now creighton decided to play D

 

[RutgersJoe]

Need a score here big time

 

[RU89]

That was not a charge[/QUOTE

Playing God awful this half. Taking selfish shots

 

[jellyman_rivals307848]

RU starts 2nd half 1-9 from the field ... but does get its 1st 3 offensive rebounds.

Creighton starts the half 3-3 from the field - all from 3 point range. But with 2 turnovers.

Creighton now up 4.

 

[RU MAN]

That was not a charge

That was a bad call. The defender was moving into Freeman.

We need to play better D. They're getting too many open looks and again we're not running our offense.
