Basketball LIVE GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Drexel

[toby83]

Rutgers' big men never look good in games against small schools. Those teams lack size and play a perimeter game. The bigs can never get into the flow of the game at both ends because they are out of sync.

Want to see Myles Johnson dunk the ball down somebody's throat so I can stop muttering 'West Coast Soft' every game

 

[RutgHoops]

4-16 from 3 and I can't recall us taking a bad one. Ugh.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Why can’t we ever get some of these shooters that the mid majors are loaded with?

 

[LadyRU09]

We need a 3 shooter.

 

[RUz91]

What offense are we running?? I ran a more complex offense in middle school aau.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Going to be a long year.

 

[bac2therac]

Another 10 point lead gone

I really really question Pikes coaching on offense

Same as Bryant...no purpose and chucking up bricks. Myles is disappointing

he is very soft

 

[IL Lusciato]

Team is just not good.

 

[BillyC80]

Turning point was when Drexel got those offensive boards off the missed free throws.

The Harlem globetrotters offense that we’ve been running since the Spain trip. Those pick up games were a mistake

He completely blew his chance when Jay Young left to replace him with an offensive guru or a recruiting ace. Still pisses me off.

But if you're not hitting them, try something else like drive to the basketball or work the mid-range game.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Back to seeing if GS was hired

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Pike doesn't call time outs soon enough.

This is going to be a loss to lowly Drexel

 

[Degaz-RU]

This team has no toughness or eye of the tiger... without Eugene.

 

[RUby RED]

Less Young, more McConnell please

 

[njrexguy]

We look sloppy.

 

[Joey Bags]

Team will be lucky to get 12 wins this year playing like this. Gotta focus.

 

[kcg88]

Absolutely pathetic.

 

[BillyC80]

Three seconds? Unforgivable.

 

[RUTrack94]

Still tied ... law of averages .... RU will start hitting by threes and Drexel will start missing. If RU missed, a rebound would be nice.

Although I’d like to see RU take some to the basket instead of settling for threes with no one underneath.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Starting to get very concerned in Year 4

 

[RutgHoops]

But if you're not hitting them, try something else like drive to the basketball or work the mid-range game.

I feel like we've been even worse going to the rim. But yes

 

[BillyC80]

Obvious push off by Geo.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Cmon Geo

 

[toby83]

Less Young, more McConnell please

Would love to hear how the guys talk about Young behind closed doors

 

[koleszar]

Dumb teams do dumb things.

 

[Joey Bags]

Bailed out by the refs there on that “charge”

 

[kcg88]

Why are you in his face 40 feet from the basket? What good is that doing?

 

[kcg88]

I'd love to know why Harper and McConnell have been out for so long when we need offense.

 

[BillyC80]

Oh brother, how does Young miss that shot?

 

[bac2therac]

Yeboah huge there

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Big time basket Yeboah

 

[kcg88]

We're lucky to not be down by 10 with the open threes we've allowed.

 

[RUTrack94]

There you go ... 2 aggressive possessions equals 4 pts

 

[bac2therac]

We shall see if this team learned its lesson from Bryant

 

[Letitrip]

Kind of off topic - but our fanbase is looking really really old??

 

[BillyC80]

Let’s see Caleb and Ron back in there, last 5 minutes. Both good foul shooters too.

When you don't make the tournament for 30 years you don't create any new fans.
