FDU Game Thread

[kcg88]

On a side note...St Johns are down to bowling green in the 2nd half..

Why do I feel like every point they lose by increases their odds of beating us?

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

What are we, 10 minutes into game 1. Yea, your right. Season’s over.

When did I say the season was over? Wasn’t a great start - facts are facts.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Johnson can play. Mathis seems a step out of it.

He’s a little smaller than I expected and seems nervous.... like Baker last year. He’ll be fine.

 

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

Pike should push the pace since FDU doesn't have a deep bench. FDU can't keep this up.

 

[Richie O]

For those of you on the premium side of things here are some of my takeaways from the first half.

https://rutgers.forums.rivals.com/threads/takeaways-from-the-first-half-vs-fdu.155936/

 

[Scangg]

9 and 7 in the first half. Impressive. No one will ever out-hustle him.

According to Hawk EO was going to average 6 and 6 this season lolll. Might be the worst preseason prediction of the year

 

[BillyC80]

My theory on the easy inside buckets for FDU: Pike teaches defense without fouling. New guys and even some vets are backing off once they are beat by a half-step inside.

Adjustments will be made and over time the D will get better.

 

[Shell21]

Carter is dressed. Only so many minutes to go around and fdu isn’t that big .

 

[RUONTHERISE]

6 different players with a made 3 pointer in first half.

Kiss, mathis, omoruyi, Harper, baker, thiam

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

The most 3s made all of last year was 8 vs Bryant and a few times with 7, we have 7/13 at the half

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

McConnell or Carter playing?

 

[dkostus]

Two extremely lazy passes

Let's not write off a 4* kid in the first 20 minutes of his career. Jesus. His stroke looks pretty good actually

 

[BillyC80]

Kiss another 3!

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Going to love these 3s from Kiss

The Souf comparison not accurate?

 

[BillyC80]

Eugene. Wow.

 

[kcg88]

Kiss has drawn three fouls, hit a three, and that layup in two and a half minutes

 

[kcg88]

The Souf comparison not accurate?

It was a joke.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Kiss taking over

 

[dkostus]

The Souf comparison not accurate?

C'mon... Souf couldn't even shoot! Mathis has the jitters

 

[NBKnight]

Harper definitely looks like the better get at this point. Johnson looks like he's going to be a really good one. Did Doorson go on Weight Watchers? He looks more athletic.

He finally had an off season where he was healthy.

 

[sct1111]

We could really use a legit PG.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

We could really use a legit PG.

One more year from Sanders would have been appreciated.

 

[Scangg]

Kiss is as advertised. As is Myles. EO looks great. Pike speaking the truth

 

[Mikemarc]

Mathis is playing terribly.

 

[sport2231]

One more year from Sanders would have been appreciated.

This is not the thread for this so I won’t say anything after this but this is simply wrong. Sanders game did not translate into team ball and he wasn’t good enough to carry a team.

He wasn’t athletic freak who had moments. He was not a great PG

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Kiss that type of player that seemingly everybody else has and gets on your nerves because he’s not on your team. He will not get on my nerves.

 

[kcg88]

Geo Kiss Harper Omoruyi Johnson might be our best five.

 

[RickB113]

What is the score

 

[kcg88]

Mathis with two airballs, at least three TOs, and 1-4 at the stripe.

 

[sct1111]

Geo Kiss Harper Omoruyi Johnson might be our best five.

Offensively. Pike is worried about defense and rebounding.

 

[sport2231]

Mathis getting a big lesson about college b-ball tonight. I like it

 

[sport2231]

What is the score

53-37 RU

I'm listening on the radio

 

[dkostus]

I'm listening on the radio

I wouldn't be too concerned yet, is all I'm saying

 

[BillyC80]

Well said and exactly what I was thinking. Glad it happened in his first game. He will be better.

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

I think it's important for Johnson and Doorson to get rewarded for their efforts from 1 year to the next....both have worked hard to get in shape and playing them early makes sense.

 

[Scangg]

With Kiss looking like a legit B1G starter we don't need Mathis to play as big of a role. Not worried about Mathis. Athletically he has the tools

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

Mathis is just trying to do too much right now. He will get over it

 

[koleszar]

Mathis is playing terribly.

Looks lackadaisical out there on those passes.
