Basketball GAME THREAD: RHoops vs. Minnesota

[FrankZ_RU93]

Banked 3 and of course they call that off RU. Danger time again.

 

[RU206]

Lol lineup is garbage

Hyatt is awful

He needs to pass the ball. Shoot when he's open

 

[richthedentist]

what game are these guys watching that ball went off the Gopher

 

[Caliknight]

No way Minn can keep this shooting pace up. They are landing prayers

 

[zappaa]

Shortened rotation in 2nd half will prevail

 

[koleszar]

Every time

I've noticed Hyatt comes in and just does his own thing

 

[bac2therac]

Just get to half around even

 

[tfio]

We just spaz out with the ball under the basket way too much

 

[hbr1103]

Game had ebbs and flows
Not danger time
Relax

 

[Danprusa_4]

Yep we’re away so they’re going to get most of the calls we’re just going to have to continue to play great d and play through adversity

 

[Joey Bags]

Danger time? We’re down 1 and they’re making clown shots lol

 

[richthedentist]

He needs to pass the ball. Shoot when he's open

again the rotations absolutely suck you can't have Geo and RHJ on the bench at the same time and even Cliff

 

[Scangg]

Banked 3 smh

Anyone have the stats on banked 3's for and against Rutgers?

I swear we are down huge in this category year after year

 

[jkernpop]

Huge stretch here since we don’t typically finish the half well

 

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

Minny can't maintain the level of shooting for the entire game. Most of their shots are contested, and the difficulty level is through the roof. They will come back down to earth.

 

[fluoxetine]

If there was an equivalent thing to expected goals in basketball I feel like Minnesota would have about 15 right now. If we continue to defend like this, we will win the game.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Good D by RU... can't do much about those contested 3s

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

We will win but the lazy attitude we’ve had this half is so frustrating

 

[BillyC80]

One point game with 3:28 to go in the half. Good enough for now after that horrendous start

 

[MLBash93]

These prayers will stop falling. Play smart and controlled and we got this

 

[bitnez]

Their offense is late in shot clock 24+ ft jumpers. We’re fine.

 

[RUBlackout]

I like Hyatt..think he could be good and def helps in rebounding

BUT he is a black hole on offense. Looks to do too much dribbling and shoot first mentality. Needs to move the ball.

 

[FIJI'83]

Cliff looks lost today. Going against their second center he is generating nothing offensively.

 

[MLBash93]

again the rotations absolutely suck you can't have Geo and RHJ on the bench at the same time and even Cliff

At least we haven't seen Palm

 

[bac2therac]

Why does Pike muddle the lineup

 

[S.W.A.I.N]

Anyone have the stats on banked 3's for and against Rutgers?

I swear we are down huge in this category year after year

Ron has helped us close the gap, but yeah, sure seems that way.

 

[RUTrack94]

RU playing good defense … Lucky shots won’t happen the whole game … keep it close. Minn will get tired and start missing.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

We were down 12 in a blink. Not putting anything past them today with 3s banking in and Willis unconscious

 

[bac2therac]

Cliff non entity

 

[BOCA93]

stop Willis and this is an easy win.

 

[rob kight]

I would like to get a comfortable lead so I can relax and enjoy the game.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Why does Pike muddle the lineup

Starting to think he does it a lot in the first half to preserve energy to ride the starters in the second. May not be a terrible strategy.

 

[koleszar]

28% in league play to 6 for 11, yeah that's not going to last for Minnesota.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Do we even know how to play zone?

 

[Scangg]

Please get a hand in Willis’ face. Please

They have been

what game are these guys watching that ball went off the Gopher

I think the ref under the basket was going to call it for us

Game had ebbs and flows
Not danger time
Relax

This. Every game lol

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Nice pass Mag

 

[biazza38]

AND 1!

 

[bac2therac]

Finally Mag and Hyatt came through

 

[zappaa]

Nice

 

[MV9000]

good patience there for the Hyatt and one.
