Carino on the Returning Intensity

Well, it sure wouldn't take much to have more intensity than they just showed against Fordham.
I was pretty much onboard with the hope that this program was really becoming a force, even with the the two losses to ranked teams. But, the game against Fordham just took the wind out of my sails and made me think "same old Rutgers". Guess we'll see.

Pike failed miserably to have his team ready top play Saturday which is unusual because they had been recently coming out to play at the start. I think they will be ready Saturday.
We actually played hard in the first half and if not for a buzzer bouncing 3 pointer, we would’ve up 8 at the half instead of 5. So we came out to play from the initial whistle. We looked bigger, stronger and forced bad shots. I don’t know what happened in the second half and why geo couldn’t get off the screen on the high pick and roll and neither could anyone versus Honor. The open threes all went in, their big man got free for layups and we couldn’t guard or rebound. The crowd played a role but it’s a game we really should have won. Credit their coach for making an adjustment that worked.
This is a long season. Seton Hall is actually a pretty good team but I don’t think they are better than Wisconsin or MSU and just barely beat Miami on a neutral court. So, anyone who is not excited about this game is crazy. I wish it was at the RAC but a road win would be even sweeter. It’s going to be an absolute war at the Rock. I hope we come out on top especially to nullify the Fordham loss.
It won’t be easy but is any big game easy this year? This is big boy basketball if I can quote pikiell. This is why we play the games.
We have to take over the arena - don’t let our guys stay in any slumps too long. The fans can win this one, it’s that type of game
:eyes:Looks like the block R was repainted on the trophy while RU has had it over the past 12 months !!!!
Are you serious, two years ago Rutgers probably had about 40 % of the arena. I am certain there will be at least 3,000 there today.
