Rutgers vs Miami (FL) / Game Thread

[bac2therac]

49-32 oh well..this game shows we have enough fight to hang but do not have the overall talent at this point to be able to keep pace with a team like Miami if the opposing team is playing well

 

[RU Mike73]

Had a chance to cut it to 2 just 5 1/2 minutes ago. Now uuuugh.

 

[RU-ROCS]

It's never one guy's fault, but Freeman is THE major factor in this game!

 

[ScarletLongIsland_rivals]

Just not doing the little things....horrible showing out of halftime

 

[RUTrack94]

Took a break...down 17 when I came back ... Wtf.

 

[Mikemarc]

Remember, this team only won 7 games last year..

Reality check..we are going to have trouble with major teams this year.

 

[koleszar]

I can't believe we have not one player who can make an outside shot?

 

[RU-ROCS]

You can also see Getty's limitations against a team with Big10-like athleticism.

 

[RU Mike73]

15 - 0 run. While we go 0 for 8.

 

[greenknight]

If I'm Pike Nigel Johnson throws another 1 handed pass he'd be on the end of the bench until he learns how to pass the ball

 

[RU-ROCS]

I can't believe we have not one player who can make an outside shot?

Has Mike Williams even tried?

 

[RUJMM78]

15-0 run by Miami .51-32 with 11 minutes remaining .Rutgers players look demoralized.

 

[RC85]

ugggggly

 

[motorb54]

someone put a lid on our basket

 

[ScarletLongIsland_rivals]

Sloppy passes, not boxing out, dropping rebounds out of bounds, missing chippies

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Forget outside shot, we can't make ANY shot. Freeman 1-9 and Johnson 1-7.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

15 - 0 run. While we go 0 for 8.

Yeah that's typically how a team outscores you 15-0 lol....

 

[4theknights]

Why is our offense so bad? Shades of last yr. I just don't get it!

Its more Miami, they are better, thats why this is happening.

 

[Duff366]

Why aren't they playing zone??? It worked in the first half, they are killing us with man defense

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

ugggggly

Pretty much sums it up

 

[BillyC80]

All credit to Miami but we still look too tight out there.

 

[RUTrack94]

Shooting 27% and no 3s ... Thought the team was better ... Only 1 game, but reality check. First step is to win the games you should which they've done.

 

[ScarletDave]

10 mins to go, 32 points. Which B1G teams is that gonna beat again?

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

When your dog comes home and gets sprayed by a skunk it takes awhile to get the stink out.

 

[Rufaninga]

Oh hello, is that you Reality?

hoping we can get back onto this.
.

 

[RU-ROCS]

For all those dissing Shaq, he's still rusty but looks better than Getty's against an athletic Miami front court.

 

[RUTrack94]

Freeman 0-fer and no 3 pointers made. We would be down by 20 last year, so happy to watch competitive basketball

Almost there ...

 

[Rutgers25]

Bottom line is that we would be at top contender in a low major conference, mediocre in a mid major, and bottom of major conference.

This is okay for now as long as Pikiell recruits. That will make or break him...

 

[RUTrack94]

17-4 in 2nd half ... When did the BB team enter RU/Michigan FB mode

 

[ColonelRutgers]

WTF!

 

[RU-ROCS]

8+ minute scoring drought is unbelievable!!

 

[RU Mike73]

Chippie, mid-range, outside. It doesn't matter. Haven't scored in 9 minutes.

 

[bac2therac]

game is over...what I am interested now is how RU responds to this adversity, do they fight or just curl up in a ball like we have seen other RU teams do


9 minutes without scoring is pretty bad

 

[ScarletLongIsland_rivals]

We have not hit a shot outside of 5 feet other than a foul shot

 

[BillyC80]

Miami's defense is stellar. We're not getting any good looks.

 

[ArminRU]

Boy, this second half is brutal

 

[Degaz-RU]

Good god, this is brutal to watch.

 

[drewbagel423]

You mean I should leave this thread for a few minutes, go to ESPN etc. website, poke around to find the RU game and then finally see the score and then return to this thread!! all this because you can't bother to put it up directly on your post?

Or, you could learn how to use a modern browser, open up a second tab and switch between them.

Gotta have the horses. As much as we want football and basketball to be great now, it doesn't work that way. We started so far behind other programs, and we need the ponies to start competing.
