OT: Oregon vs Saint Mary's

[NewJerseyHawk]

HE PLAYED THE 2ND MOST MINUTES ON THE TEAM

You would think fans actually own cable TV and have electricity to watch the games....LOL.....everyone follows the parrot, who throws things up with nothing to support it and suddenly, all is quiet. I am sure Oregon will be fine, but there is something that Dana Altman does not waste time on and it's undisciplined play and turnovers from his guards.....Altman has had very good guard play in Payton Pritchard and Chris Duarte in the last few years and both guards are excellent 3 point shooters and understand how to play within an offense.

JY is a freelance artist that struggles when you don't get into transition and fast breaks.....Pike understands that and had a good balance to try and get JY to be as productive as possible, but he is Oregon's player now to deal with and figure out.....

The point is he chose to be a backup there vs oddly being played as a backup here when he was one of our best players.

Keep laughing though. We just lost to one of the worst teams in all of basketball. Keep laughing.

He didn’t go there to be a backup, he started the first 5 games and then came in off the bench for the most recent one.

Oregon usually just relies on their talent on offense. That talent is wayyyy down this year. They stink. Ive watched all their games. They aint dancin

49 points for the ducks today. Wooof . Dana needs to take out that check book next offseason

So "making up a new stat" doesn't mean I invented it? Ok. Alls cool. Saved me the time of posting several examples from ESPN and the Basketball Stat reference library.

Not what I meant. I see it sounded that way.

It's almost like the team Rutgers fielded the last two seasons was greater than the sum of its parts. Who would've thought.

Its OK. No worries 96. Not being serious myself. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

What should piss us all off about this is we could be 5-0 right now with JY. He only played 20 minutes in that St Mary’s game. All we needed was some juice and maybe a run or two which he always gave us and we would be 5-0 right now.

Since he’s gone we have to find someone else to step up. One player or a handful collectively but time to step up…..and make a few shots too.

BTW. I assume you're associated with the Institute somehow? My wife and I got married at St. Michaels on the PWay campus and we had our reception at the mansion in Oct. '89.

Thank you. Same to you!

Yes, got a masters of public policy there in 96 and was an Eagleton Fellow. Great experience. Still keep in touch with many of the faculty and staff there.

This is a far different take than what we discussed in your Oregon thread. I thought they and every team run some magical Offensive plays?

If they did, they certainly do not this year. From what ive seen this year, they are rutgers offensive system or lack thereof but usually just have the talent to play iso and run.

The purpose of “running an offense” is to get open shots. We get open shots.
