Rutgers vs Seton Hall / Game Thread

[Scarlet Knut]

College basketball: its all about the 3.

I thought "it's all about the base"

 

[kcg88]

I was completely wrong about the offense. We somehow added like six new players and have exactly the same problems.

 

[bac2therac]

9-39 23% shooting...9 freaking baskets

sorry its horrendous, no defense of how bad the offense is

Eugene 1-8 coming up very small...Geo...MIA a disappointing mail in today

new players have 6 of 9 shots. Mathis and McConnell look like the best players on the team. Thats the only hope here. More time for them, less time for the no shows

 

[JQRU91]

Harper still can't hit from three, and Mathis still can't finish at the rim. And it's really starting to hurt this team.

 

[G- RUnit]

Mike Williams all over again. Playing good D but shooting so poorly. Has Thiam taken a shot? Back up guards only players with a pulse. Eugene has to be smarter.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Geo horrible again . Can’t win when he plays like dog poo

He’s not a PG..just a very good guard playing the point.

 

[soundcrib]

I thought the subtraction of Corey was supposed to rejuvenate our offense and individual skill set?

 

[bac2therac]

It’s tough playing 5 against 8 these refs are horrible missed 3 goaltending 2 times Seton Hall guy was out of bounds on the baseline. It was about 15 fouls to 6 the only reason they reached 7 was the technical foul

stop..that had nothing with all the missed shots...its not why RU is losing and have made only 9 buckets

 

[Life4Fitness428]

I really hope the 2nd half gets better. I want to leave here with a win

 

[Scarlet Knut]

Basketball

Sarcasm

 

[motorb54]

2 for 16 from 3 that is 12.5%

overall at 25%, can't shoot 25% and expect to win

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Peter kiss needs to sit. Liability on D.

Refs in shu’s pocket. Lotta soft calls

 

[bac2therac]

RU is crushing SHU on the offensive boards 16-5 and we are still losing by 9

 

[bac2therac]

Kiss has 7 points.he needs to play

 

[Scarlet Knut]

BS: We can't shoot is the problem.

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

Relax...it's a 9 point game and we're shooting 25%.....it should be 17 to 18 but we rebound and are missing shots.

2 lapses by Issa gave up Powell's 2 threes, otherwise he could have 20 at half.

If RU shoots a decent 3%, the games right there.

 

[kcg88]

Kiss has 7 points.he needs to play

Also honestly not terrible on Powell. No worse than Thiam.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Make shots and it's a game.

Hobbs prep talk at Redds not working

 

[BillyC80]

We are not being outplayed, we’re just being outshot. We can turn it around in the second half.

 

[ScarletDave]

Last year seton hall got 31-2 free throws over us or something. Going about the same. Anyone thinking we’re gonna get a single call is hoping to win the powerball

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

Pass the ball around the perimeter for 25 seconds and chuck up a brick. Awful offense, which leads to miserable defense. Going to be an awful second half if we don't come out hot. Get Mike Rice in that locker room to fire these guys up

 

[koleszar]

Too bad the object of the game is to put that orange ball through that rimmy thingy. Otherwise we'd be pretty good.

 

[zebnatto]

Any indication thatGeo is under the weather? Playing poorly plus a lot of Caleb.

 

[kcg88]

Not even close to true.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Harper needs to stop shooting threes. It’s ridiculous at this point. What is he, like 4-26 now?

And somebody needs to put an APB out on Issa Thiam. Kid has just totally disappeared the last 4 or 5 games.

 

[zebnatto]

Exactly. Other than that, we’re playing pretty well. We need s rule change. Scoring is overrated.

Agreed

 

[Shell21]

We haven’t gotten any calls inside either when we rebound and try to go back up . They seem to get all the calls taking it to the rim . Partial refs partial ya being soft on putbacks

 

[Degaz-RU]

We are not being outplayed, we’re just being outshot. We can turn it around in the second half.

Bull. We are being thoroughly outplayed.

AND we can’t shoot.

 

[Rutgers25]

Amazingly bad shooting. What’s new...

Thiam is horrible for a guy that is lights out in practice.

Geo hasn’t shown up. 2 horrible unforced errors.

 

[greenknight]

Hes not a prime time performer. He can shoot the lights out when they are not on but when the lights are on you wish they were off. His misses are terrible a little short a little long you can live with but missing rim side to side thats awful

 

[Degaz-RU]

Game will be won or lost in the first 4 minutes of 2nd half. We either cut the lead quickly to 4 or 5, and then hang in the rest of the game, or we go down by 15 and it’s game over.

 

[Caliknight]

Basketball is not a game where you can win simply playing d. You must be able to score. Recruit shooters! We have none.

 

[The RUT]

Remember when people were saying Corey being gone will be a blessing in disguise for our offense? LOL

Pikes biggest failure to date was letting Corey leave this team a year early.

 

[greenknight]

Hes not a prime time performer. He can shoot the lights out when they are not on but when the lights are on you wish they were off. His misses are terrible a little short a little long you can live with but missing rim side to side thats awful

Not a lot of good misses from any of them

 

[bac2therac]

maybe a good omen there....great transition bucket

 

[RUsince52]

Harper still can't hit from three, and Mathis still can't finish at the rim. And it's really starting to hurt this team.

Thought Harper was a good outside shooter, but haven't seen it yet. Good shooters don't usually miss a few chances on the same possession. Defense only gets you so much without scoring. It means the other team is also having a bad game.

 

[Caliknight]

Recruit shooters for the love of God.

 

[koleszar]

I guess the air ball 3 is contagious.

 

[soundcrib]

Ew Montez can’t shoot
