Rutgers vs Miami (FL) / Game Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Last year's team would be down 40 right now. This team keeps choppin'! LOVE IT!
I don't care what anyone says, things are DEFINITELY different with this team.
If only we could have put forth that effort for all 40 mins. And I'm glad Williams started ahooting at the end
Could've been worse. Not happy. Not satisfied with 12 point loss. But at least encouraged that Pikiell will not tolerate giving up, no matter how horrendous a shooting team we are.
1. When did Eastern Airlines recover from bankruptcy?
2. Why didn't Mike Williams get minutes earlier?
3. Why haven't I filled out my women's volleyball bracket yet?

Good effort and needed to get Mike Williams in game earlier with some shots.
Concerned that maybe he's overmatched against power conference type front lines. Just a horrendous overall game. Got a few baskets after the outcome was determined. He was actually worse than the box score indicates. Atrocious first half. 0-6, no rebounds.
You can't be too upset with this loss. On the road, one of our best players (freeman) played awful, they had a 17-0 run where we didn't score for 8 minutes in the second half. We definitely need to find some shooters. BUT they never gave up, they fought back into the game, showed a lot of toughness against a much more athletic and let's be honest, better team. Last year we lose this game by 30. We are definitely on a path towards success, and I'm very excited for the future.
I really have no idea as I don't watch much college basketball outside of Rutgers lol.. but I can't imagine many teams have the length and quickness of Miami
His height is an issue, but some of the shots he missed were easy makes for him. Just an uncharacteristically rough night.
They fought back and played hard good effort. I'd really like to see anyone step up and take a charge Th ere were a ton of opportunities to do so
no but they will have other stuff that will be an issue, such as size at guards and deadly 3 point shooters or trees in the middle, pick your poision, I do not think this game was a good matchup at all for RU because of Miami's length
Sucks to lose, but there are a lot of positive takeaways: (1) this team has heart/does not give up, (2) made a lot of mistakes that can be fixable as the year goes on, (3) we are going to win some league games. Pikiell is clearly a great coach. He is going to get some good players over the next few years and build something great here. 2018 has a big time class out of NJ and NYC, we may actually land some studs.
Sucks to lose, especially since we could have won this one, but I feel great about where this program is going. Something I was unable to say during any loss (or win, in football this year).

I do agree with you on all that..its not a moral victory, moral victory is close game losing by a couple possessions, the outcome wasnt in doubt tonight after the 15 minute mark of the 2nd half, doesnt mean we didnt play hard but its silly calling this a moral victory
Definitely a Different team from last year. If we had a decent freeman tonight I think we have a shot. Williams looked great and wish he had more opportunities to shoot throughout. Sanders shooting was a bit out of control but I think he settled down and did better getting his teammates involved as the night went on. Disappointed because it looks like they're a player or two away from actually winning this game but still can't help but to have a smile on my face hahha
Despite the final score this game makes me more optimistic for the season.
Some B1G fans, and teams, are going to be surprised what we do this year. Agree with a previous post that last year, after being down 19 , this would have been a 40+ point loss.
Let's get back on track Sunday.

This team desperately needed to get wins early in the season. I loved our early schedule....until 725PM tonight.
We definitely weren't ready for Miamis length and athleticism. Passes weren't there that were before, rebounds weren't coming to us, and interior D was a HUGE issue.

Didn't Quit, played hard (and played ugly), on the road, lost by twelve. Team needs to learn to play all 40 minutes. Remember, they never had to do that before, especially against a quality opponent. Coach P will use the is game as a teachable moment. I liked the look of the press at the end of the game. As the season progresses and they get better I would like to see more of that. This team doesn't score enough to give up a 15-0 run early in the second half. For a reason unknown to ke we looked like a different team during that stretch. Clean that up and we will be much improved. Remember someing else, with the exception of CJ and assuming Sanders doesn't go to the NBA, this entire team returns next year. Good times ahead. Go RU
Oops!! Meant Saturday night . I just looked at my schedule and it's a Sunday 7:00 AM starting time for me.
Sorry
No 3's from the corners. Freeman missed the first 3 layups. Miami has great interior defense but gave some points away on turnovers for fast break points and fouls. Good scrappy game to get ready for conference play on the 27th. I really want to beat Seton Hall at the Pru Center on the 23rd. Good game to go to. Friday night but it starts at 6:30....ack. Tickets are pricey.
