Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Lafayette

[Goku]

If you're going to dog a player, throw Mathis in there too. He's done nothing this half.

Wrong. Mathis plays within the system. Young just botches it up

 

[Goku]

Harper’s dunk would have been awesome. Oh well

 

[RUsince52]

Is anyone else not quite seeing it with Harper ? Makes his share of bad plays when he's not having a good night.

 

[PatrickRU92]

that was no travel. wtf

 

[bac2therac]

Solid start to half by starters to build the lead up

Now lets work on some specific offensive sets

Harper is fine..streaky offensively. Not worried about him at all. He delivers when he needs too

 

[MadRU]

Hopefully they don’t make that walk call on Geo more, that’s his go to move.

 

[toby83]

Young lost out there

 

[bac2therac]

Young out of control airball..very selfish player

 

[MadRU]

Ron Harper Sr. in the house.

 

[Goku]

Did Jacob young just shoot an airball and not even hit net???? Painful

Score please

 

[BillyC80]

JY, really?

 

[toby83]

Ron Harper Sr. in the house.

Where is he?

 

[RU Mike73]

They will call more. New rule and focus this year. You can thank James Hardin for that.

 

[sport2231]

That wasn’t even a terrible shot by Young. He just isnt mentally in control on the offensive side. His mind just can’t keep up with his body

 

[bac2therac]

Please take him out

 

[RULoyal]

Score please

43-19

 

[RUsince52]

Fastest end to end drive that hits air. How does Young do it ? He looks completely out of rhythm on most shots.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Young is awful.

 

[RU848789]

Great steal and layup by Young.

 

[BillyC80]

Not Kwasi’s day.

 

[RU Mike73]

Why do we have so many guys that lower their shoulder and plow into the defender? Will call every time.

 

[richthedentist]

We have 15 turnovers just awful

 

[Goku]

Caleb is smooth in the midrange game.

 

[bac2therac]

Score please

49-21

 

[RU848789]

Mulcahy really uses his body and the glass well when he drives.

 

[PatrickRU92]

again hard to complain too much as the D has been just unbelievable. But a little too sloppy on O. too many unforced errors

 

[MadRU]

Where is he?

Courtside

 

[kcg88]

Good to have the sloppy game against Lafayette than against Nebraska.

 

[RU848789]

We should hold them under 40 points today - what's the least we've given up (at least in the shot clock era)?

 

[DHajekRC84]

Caleb is smooth in the midrange game.

Yes he is. Beautiful stroke and. Shooting motion.

 

[bac2therac]

Why do we have so many guys that lower their shoulder and plow into the defender? Will call every time.

Good point..notice that especially from Shaq and Yeboah...if we can clean these mistakes we will be really good. I think its a case of these players trying to do too much. I think we are almost there to being really good

 

[DHajekRC84]

We should hold them under 40 points today - what's the least we've given up (at least in the shot clock era)?

32 a year ago?

 

[RUsince52]

Good game to try and find a pace that suits us. Laf overmatched, but maybe we can learn something that could help down the road.
Defense is unbelievable today.

 

[Joey Bags]

Shades of the myles mack finger roll airball

Wasn't it Niagara last month?

 

[bac2therac]

What is great that we are playing so well overall with a huge lead that we can indentify the issues holding tge team back. Its actually a great spot to be in. We are getting closer to being really good

 

[BillyC80]

As long as we keep up the defensive intensity, today and vs Caldwell, it will serve us well at Nebraska. Can’t say much about the offense other than we’re scoring plenty of points, but the sloppiness has to get cleaned up.

Agreed - I've never seen so much negativity in a thread on a game we're demolishing a team by 25+ in. Not everything is perfect, but 49-21, with suffocating defense ain't bad.
