Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Penn State

[koleszar]

You can just tell when Mathis is going to do something completely idiotic.

 

[bac2therac]

Can someone teach mathis not to pick up that charge..same thing every game..not learning

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Don't get sucked in

 

[RUsince52]

Mentality Mathis. Really dumb.

He avoided a charge in th first half on a bucket.

He hasnt passed once in his career when he leads a break and even has one foot touch the paint haha

 

[jim1666]

I call ******** on that charge.

 

[Captain Hogleg]

He’s his own worst enemy. It limits his minutes. He goes brain dead at important times in a game

 

[RUsojo]

We are somehow in this game. Watch this is the one we come back and actually win

We play well generally in very specific roster combinations.

We play too many guys too many minutes and often in bad pairings.

yep, could see that one coming a mile away - give the effing ball up there...

 

[jordkap]

Mentality Mathis. Really dumb.

He could have easily avoided that too. Cmon Montez

 

[RUsojo]

flop though

 

[theRU]

why do we suck in first halves? you can't keep digging yourself a hole

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Get geo, mathis, young in there together. @RUsojo pointed out that combo last game was great and when we get the pace going today, thats when were at our best. Hopefully pike realizes that

 

[soundcrib]

Just keep running and ball hawking on D and let’s see what happens steve

 

[Shell21]

Like I said , we will cut it to 8 or so then run out of gas . Don’t know y we don’t play with our pants on fire like this from the start ever on the road . Have to come in with the mindset that you are already 10 points down on the road

 

[BOCA93]

Montez is good for one or two of those every game. Meanwhile, wheeler spends more time on the floor than standing. Deserves an award for all his flopping around

 

[Captain Hogleg]

No. It was a charge and a dumb play by Mathis

 

[RU848789]

I call ******** on that charge.

and you're wrong...

 

[RutgersChow]

It's obvious Pike is a defensive minded coach the way talks during interviews. Who's the offensive guy on the bench?

 

[BOGDANOVICH]

Sadly the refrain that fans will hear is just wait until next year when the team will be more experienced with the same players that have difficulty scoring.I'm happy for the winning season because my preseason prediction was a 17-14 record which might be close to the final record.

Next year may not be better at all given Pikiell's inept coaching. The 30 year drought is likely to continue.

 

[jim1666]

and you're wrong...

Flop

 

[RUsince52]

Simple Little pull up.

 

[RUsojo]

Get geo, mathis, young in there together. @RUsojo pointed out that combo last game was great and when we get the pace going today, thats when were at our best. Hopefully pike realizes that

Paul comes in to play with Geo and Young meh

 

[zebnatto]

The #1 worst thing they do is kick out the ball to an open guy from 3, then not only passes the shot down, but drives himself into trouble and they toss up a complete brick. SHOOT THE BALL, if you miss, you miss.

Agree. You can’t play at this level and not take the clean look.

 

[RutgersChow]

Oh my God! We set a screen away - and it resulted in a score.

 

[Rutgers25]

No reason to believe next year is better without Yeboah and poor recruiting.

 

[Scangg]

Get geo, mathis, young in there together. @RUsojo pointed out that combo last game was great and when we get the pace going today, thats when were at our best. Hopefully pike realizes that

He should play them as many minutes as they can handle. Gotta find what's working and stick with it. Let's see what Paul can give us here

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Myles do something! Tip in. Blocked shot. Something.

 

[RUsojo]

So clear Geo needs to be on the ball. But yet Pikiell puts in Mulcahy with Geo and Young...what the hell is Paul gonna give you when he needs the ball too?

I don’t get it

 

[bac2therac]

Those are the shots u have to make

 

[RU848789]

Mulcahy needs to make that and Myles needs to make a fairly easy tip - so challenged, offensively...

 

[Scangg]

Holy ****! A real play! A screen away from the ball and a cut to the basket. Refreshing

 

[RUsince52]

How can you take the shot off the wrong foot. Com Mon Paul, get with it.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Sub mathis in for paul. Gotta push pace and mulcahy really brings nothing to the table right now. Pikes gotta end his love affair with his mandatory rotations

 

[DHajekRC84]

Rutgers had 3 road wins last season as compared to only one this season.

Not sure your point but that's correct. Now I feel worse lol.

 

[RutgersChow]

Can someone teach mathis not to pick up that charge..same thing every game..not learning

Does anyone on the team ever come to a jumpstop?

 

[bac2therac]

Paul for 3..down 9

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Come on guys. Pull one out of your asses.

 

[RU848789]

49-40! PM for three! We look like a totally different team - it's just so weird how this happens every road game...
