Basketball GAME THREAD: RHoops vs. 23 Ohio State

[superfan01]

Doucoure is constantly getting beat

 

[richthedentist]

When they drive they call a foul every time we have not gotten one calll

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Breathe on them and they get the call though. Hat toss

 

[RutHut_rivals]

Why a whistle there?

 

[bac2therac]

I really love our team......except the drop in the center play is enormous

 

[superfan01]

Horseshit!!!

 

[RUfanSinceAnderson]

Concerned that they are getting very easy baskets inside.

 

[ScarletDave]

Every drive on us is a foul call. Every drive for us on them is “great defense”

 

[Ronnie_B]

Harper fouled, no call.

I noticed we don't get the calls when Pike is on the far side of the court, we'll get those calls in the second half.

 

[shields]

Need to finish half well.

 

[Scangg]

Its funny some people are trying to give Duke credit when he's been really bad. Do you understand we are winning in spite of his play not bc of it? Its bc everyone is is so freaking good not bc of anything Duke is doing. hes lost out there

 

[koleszar]

Don't like that series, Ron drives gets mauled they drive get the call. Refs are not calling this one down the line.

 

[RUby RED]

I hate to say it but Pike’s “best freshman class ever” should include someone who can play in Duke’s place. Hate to be disparaging but he’s so lost — no rebounding, no offense, always ball watching

 

[richthedentist]

If we can get out of the first half up 8-10 that would be unbelievable considering Myles has hardly played

 

[ColonelRutgers]

If Myles could stay out of foul trouble in this game, we'd win by 30. They are really taking advantage of us having to play Doucoure.

 

[MrWise]

Even with Myles back in, they are attacking the rim. we should play zone the two minutes of the half

 

[Woody522]

I really love our team......except the drop in the center play is enormous

This Cliff injury is huge. Douc doesn't know what he is doing and its been 3 years. How can one be this clueless. Let reiber play

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

I really love our team......except the drop in the center play is enormous

Yeah this won’t work.

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

The team finally noticed rebounding is an issue after a few minutes with Doucoure out there, they are so used to Myles scooping everything.

 

[RU848789]

Myles needs to be careful here with 2 fouls, obviously, but would like to see us get a good shot for him, as he is scoreless.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

I hate to say it but Pike’s “best freshman class ever” should include someone who can play in Duke’s place. Hate to be disparaging but he’s so lost — no rebounding, no offense, always ball watching

It does. He's on the bench with a knee sprain.

 

[leftoright]

Who's third string big?

 

[80RU]

I can’t watch and I’m only following the statistics. I see we only have one offensive rebound to their five. The rout would be on otherwise. What is happening there? Just long caroms or bad box out?

 

[JFK20]

He was awful. Didn't grab a single rebound. Was caught out of position on defense a handful of times. The fact that we have to bring Johnson back in speaks to how awful he was.

 

[richthedentist]

This Cliff injury is huge. Douc doesn't know what he is doing and its been 3 years. How can one be this clueless. Let reiber play

Lets just hope Cliff comes back for Iowa because we know they never call fouls against Garza even Bardo said it just before

 

[RUsojo]

Think Pike learning we need to shoot open 3s when we get them early in the shot clock is helping our offense considerably this year. Some natural skill development as well but last year passing those opportunities up every possession only to have a worse shot in the half court offense which wasn’t running through Young enough was all very frustrating.

 

[JFK20]

They were all when Johnson was out of the game.

 

[RUby RED]

It does. He's on the bench with a knee sprain.

Point taken, I’m more so speaking to Reiber though

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

He did nothing lol now we go to him in the post. Why?

Do you think he is going to come in and be an all American? There is a reason he is our 3rd option at his position. He is doing a decent job on D and he took one shot. Let’s not be dramatic. He is fine. Having Myles and Cliff of course would be better but we do not have that luxury right now. If we are going to zero in on him and pick out all his flaws then let’s do the same with other guys.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Dodge that foul please Myles

 

[RUHouston]

Wow.. Douc is really lost on defense...he’s been getting abused. Sad.

 

[RU Mike73]

Interior D and rebounding drop off with Duke is crazy

He’s 3rd on depth chart for a reason. But he is playing hard and eating minutes.

 

[zebnatto]

Mama Dou and the refs have been real bad.

 

[MrWise]

I can’t watch and I’m only following the statistics. I see we only have one offensive rebound to their five. The rout would be on otherwise. What is happening there? Just long caroms or bad box out?

we're hitting out shots, not a lot of rebounding oppys.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Oh yeah Ron and JY

 

[RU848789]

Huge trey by Harper - have we said that yet this year, lol?

 

[Scangg]

I freaking love this team. What a series! Offensive rebound to unselfish play for a ron 3 then young full court press steal. Amazing

 

[RUHouston]

Harper is unreal!

 

[Anon1751594821]

That was huge just grazing the rim.

Best of Luck,
Groz

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

5-7 fouls. 2nd on Myles still annoys, but better numbers at least
