Basketball LIVE GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. St. Bonaventure

[drewbagel423]

It's year 4 and Pikiell is losing to St. Bonaventure and losing every recruit that any other Big Ten school wants.

He needs to put up or shut up.

Really glad to see that practice facility is paying dividends

 

[bac2therac]

RU shooting heating up now...good sign, now play defense

 

[bac2therac]

hey Pike realized we can go to Myles as a scoring option..why did it take him so long......

 

[Eagleton95.99]

Young is bad on offense, and especially defense. Why is he getting so many minutes? Give Geo the ball.

It is for Stringer. Just got the #6 recruit in the country.

Pikiell also got the #6 recruit in the country, except the country is Sweden.

 

[bac2therac]

Geo, Caleb, Harper, Yeboah/Shaq, Myles

this should be our lineup

 

[RUJMM78]

McConnell only player showing offensive pulse.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Caleb our best player by a country mile. Shouldnt come out

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Geo, Caleb, Harper, Yeboah/Shaq, Myles

this should be our lineup

Pike is ******* dumb as ****. Hes dead set on his sub pattern. Someone needs to speak to him

 

[Eagleton95.99]

First half reaction: too much Young. Bonnies shooting at an unsustainable rate which bodes well for second half. Need better D all around.

 

[bac2therac]

RU is crushing them on the board 25-16 including 15-4 on the offensive boards,

 

[bac2therac]

Pike is ****ing dumb as ****. Hes dead set on his sub pattern. Someone needs to speak to him

agree, I really think he is struggling this year and for some reason is mancrushing on Young

 

[TheAtlanticFiles]

Ugh ignorant post.

Because im right?

 

[soundcrib]

what band wagon fans--terrible

Our wagon has been missing wheels for 250 years

 

[bac2therac]

so first 4 minutes...not so good even tho RU heated up, still both teams scored 11 points..that is way too much. RU will not win a game at that pace. RU needs to play DEFENSE and cause turnovers or they arent winning tonight. This game has to be kept under 75

 

[RUTrack94]

RU is crushing them on the board 25-16 including 15-4 on the offensive boards,

I noticed a lot of boards and aggressive rebounding ... the Bonnie’s need to miss ti give RU a chance.

 

[gef21]

Because im right?

No...I coached basketball in the city and kids practiced free throws all of the time.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Young is a liability out there. Pike probably has told alot of people about him and is going through some confirmation bias. Get him out and roll with geo caleb harper yeboah and myles

 

[Mikemarc]

Doesn’t matter the lineup. When we continue missing chippy layups we aren’t going to win.

The Achilles heel for this program has been offensive talent and it still lacks terribly

Bonnies are on fire and thats not helping

And we forgot how to play defense.

 

[RUJMM78]

Three problem areas:
1.Defense doesn't cause turnovers and easy baskets.
2.Rutgers offense inferior to opponents .
3.Lack of shooters/scorers at every position.

 

[bac2therac]

they cannot defend Caleb

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Another great play by caleb. Bonnies get an offensive board and he strips it. He needs to play the entire game

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

they cannot defend Caleb

Pike takes him out for montez SMH. I dont get it man. Tez and young on the court at the same time this should be fun

 

[BillyC80]

Are these announcers ever gonna talk about the game?

 

[soundcrib]

Ok we cut it to 8 let’s go!

 

[bac2therac]

now down to 8

54-46

Im feeling better about this

 

[soundcrib]

Are these announcers ever gonna talk about the game?

Dweebs

 

[G- RUnit]

5th senior getting schooled by freshman... geeze

 

[BillyC80]

No foul on that shot.

 

[gigantor1024]

I see officiating is exactly the same as it ever was in NCAA. Blind refereeing everywhere

 

[bac2therac]

the two frosh from the Bonnies have 32 points combined

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Are these announcers ever gonna talk about the game?

I’m watching to learn about Chinese basketball and the announcers favorite pizza toppings. I can’t be the only one.

 

[bac2therac]

Harper!.....57-48

 

[bac2therac]

sigh we just do not play defense

 

[zazoo2002]

Rutgers sports fans are understandably so universally beaten down that it's difficult to know what to expect...or even to have expectations any longer. The basketball team finished strong last season and gave us what we crave the most...hope. I like Pike, but the team is seriously underperforming this year and that falls squarely on his shoulders. Curiously, if the football team wasn't so woeful under Ash, maybe there would be less goodwill for Pike.

Now get some f'in defensive stops. Damn!!!

 

[sct1111]

This team stinks.

 

[BillyC80]

Thank you Montez.

 

[bac2therac]

62-51, the shootout pace does not favor us
