An absolute **** kicking..rutgers was never going to win this game

St. John’s is really good and rutgers has a lot of growing up to do.

Hard to win when the other team isnt running an offense and has 3 guys around the 3 point line who can either a) beat you off the dribble if you get too close or b) shoot 60% over your head

I know this game sucks but you can’t make a judgement one way or another about the whole season based off one game . Obviously this turned out to be a horrible matchup for us defensively and not many big ten teams will play like them Z. We will have better days this year and in the future

 

[RUsojo]

Are they good yet in your opinion?

Lol no! Getting out coached by one of the worst coaches in the country....

 

[ScarletDave]

It’s like leaving in the QB who keeps throwing interceptions. How many threes does St. John’s have to hit before we decide to guard them and let them try to drive on our bigs? 20? 30? 50?

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Which is why we must play zone. IMO, it’s on Pike.

I mean i guess we couldve run a 1-3-1

 

[miketd1]

Guys, my God the overreaction is crazy.

Friggin third game of the year and most of our guys never played together!

This is going to be a learning tool. Bank on that.

 

[rufeelinit]

How many of their 3’s have truly been contested? Not enough. Mullin is having a great time interacting with the fans.

Yes.

SJU getting a transfer from Auburn was lucky that he's eligible this season

But they have transfers, junior college guys and Ponds.
All shoot lights out, and they are experienced

 

[RUTrack94]

5 for 22 ... so much for leading the nation in 3s ... thought the game was on RUs court

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Herron is a NBA player

 

[RC85]

When you play a good shooting team, you must hit free throws and not turn over the ball.

Rutgers didn't go either well and the game got away from them.

They got schooled tonight

Eugene has had a rough game

No one can shoot either

Not ready for primetime yet

Young team, but the game was there to stay close in the first half of they hit their FTs and hit a few shots

Spot on. We needed to keep it close, blew too many opportunities. But wow SJU is shooting the lights out even when we play good D.

 

[miketd1]

Kyk was right. This team could have really used Corey Sanders.

Imagine the drive and kick possibilities.

 

[gmay8]

I Hate Rutgers sports

They are really good. It’s got nothing to do with coaching.

 

[RU82]

Herron is a NBA player

He sure is tonight.

Don’t give me the credit for that. Everyone on this board who even knows a little bit about basketball knows how valuable Corey would have been to this team

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Learn from this game and go punish EMU Monday night

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Don’t give me the credit for that. Everyone on this board who even knows a little bit about basketball knows how valuable Corey would have been to this team

Sure, but he chose to leave so that's rear view mirror

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

He sure is tonight.

He will be soon enough

Tiam defense isn't good

 

[miketd1]

Don’t give me the credit for that. Everyone on this board who even knows a little bit about basketball knows how valuable Corey would have been to this team

I didn’t know it was gonna be this bad.

I think as the year progresses, someone will emerge as the primary threat.

Right now, the lack of identity on offense is startling.

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

John Crispin is so annoying everytime St Johns makes a shot

 

[bac2therac]

No, for our fans. I think Pikiell knows it’s going to be another long year. Rebuild is aimed at 2020-21.

Agree...fans were going a bit over the top from wins against sisters of poor

 

[koleszar]

On the offensive end they just pass around the perimeter. They live and die by the 3. Tonight theyre living

I'd have to say this is pretty accurate. Having a party at the house(not for basketball) one of my wife's friends husband played D1 ball. Said they're really not that good, Rutgers just caught them on a hot night. Basically said shots are just falling but a team like that won't do much.

Drive and kick to who? We're 7/26 from the arc.

Not all players make good analysts.

Like Villanova for example?

 

[RU82]

Absolutely.

The truth is we didn’t look all that good in those games either. We just shot the ball well.

We have a lot of growing up to do.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

SJU is a hot shooting street ball team. Not saying that's bad, but on cold nights I don't see much of an offensive scheme to rely on.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

John Crispin is so annoying everytime St Johns makes a shot

He's been pro Rutgers all night, he's disappointed that they didn't keep it close

 

[RU206]

Another last place finish in the B1G with this team. This is disappointing

Except against RU ... at least the Kool-Aid wore off.

Only guarantees in life ... death, taxes and RU basketball in last in the B1G

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

SJU could win the BE

 

[miketd1]

They beat us because we don’t have a big man to make them pay for playing small

They’ll fall back to earth when the run up against a legit frontcourt.

 

[bac2therac]

Don’t give me the credit for that. Everyone on this board who even knows a little bit about basketball knows how valuable Corey would have been to this team

For this game Corey would have helped but we still lose..for the future of the program we are betteroff..move on

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

As I said...........

 

[koleszar]

Like Villanova for example?

I have no idea who is on Villanova and it's not really my opinion. Frankly, I would have said we just suck again.
It's a complete beat down. I guess Villanova has a lot of guards, why do you ask are you a fan of theirs?

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

Can't do anything when you are outscored 48-21 from 3. We now feel like FDU and Drexel did when all the 3s we're falling for us.

Disagree. These are not tough shots.
