Basketball PREVIEW/LIVE THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Notre Dame

[Rokodesh]

god this team is so ******* stupid

 

[#1 RUFan]

This line up sucks. Wtf.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Lineup sux

 

[bac2therac]

Wrong people shooting

 

[Rokodesh]

Why is Mag shooting 3s

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Mag and hyatt chucking 3s. Boo

 

[tfio]

A lead doesn’t mean it’s time for Mag and Hyatt to start shooting cmon

 

[RUScrew85]

ND has 1 foul with 2:29 to play.

Hmmm.

 

[bac2therac]

Get up 6 and then have 2 bench players shooting..come on

 

[Rokodesh]

Just put in luke Nathan to throw up bricks will a small lead

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

1 foul called against ND

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

ND does a great job of not fouling. Or the three blind mice can't see blue and gold.

It’s the latter. Believe me

 

[#1 RUFan]

Taking stupid shots and no drives to the basket. Defense is soft tonight.

 

[rob kight]

Can’t have Hyatt and Mag shooting 3s especially when we have the lead.

 

[RU-Esq]

Why are we settling for 3s??... by bench players??

 

[MLBash93]

If we can stop getting killed inside we can stretch out a lead. Can't give up 25 pts in the paint

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

No more 3s Mag

 

[CodyRU]

1 freaking foul on ND? We are getting hosed

 

[RUScrew85]

No defense

Yeah I was just going to post that. Seems we're happy to trade no D possessions back an forth.

 

[Rokodesh]

This team blows leads more than the Atlanta Falcons

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Zone offense is still atrocious.

 

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

ND's Atkinson travels almost every time he puts the ball on the deck.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Ok get a bucket here and a stop.

 

[Danprusa_4]

Hyatt needs to stop shooting

 

[FIJI'83]

Geo and Paul need to score. But for Caleb’s unexpected torrid shooting we’d be up ****’s creek.

 

[gregkoko]

Guys stop complaining about the refs. ND generally does not commit fouls.

 

[jordkap]

Can’t have Hyatt and Mag shooting 3s especially when we have the lead.

Mag’s shot was bad. Hyatt at least had a good look. Thought it was going in too

 

[bac2therac]

Harper and Caleb need to call out those 2

 

[motorb54]

RHJ will be back in after the TV timeout

 

[IL Lusciato]

The problem is the refs set the tone for a sissy soft game. We can't play tough D. We are scared and they are taking advantage. Without the foul discrepancy we run away with this one. We are easily more physically talented.refs didn't like BIG vs ACC. Now it's ACC vs ACC

 

[Degaz-RU]

Why are we not playing zone. Yes I know ND can shoot, but they’re murdering us in the lane

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Baker and Cliff with 2 fouls each. So we’re screwed with this lineup

 

[bethlehemfan]

Mag’s shot was bad. Hyatt at least had a good look. Thought it was going in too

Hyatt did and he’s made some big shots. He was in rhythm.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Why are we not playing zone. Yes I know ND can shoot, but they’re murdering us in the lane

Yeah I think I agree. At least for a few possessions to see what ND does.

 

[RUboston]

Had a good look - yeah, and missed two in a row. This game may come down to the last possession. Mag and Hyatt shooting and missing is not good.

 

[bac2therac]

The problem is the refs set the tone for a sissy soft game. We can't play tough D. We are scared and they are taking advantage.

We only have 5 fouls..the 2 on Geo were bad by him

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

Notre Dame is running alot of the old school backdoor stuff Pete Carrill and Princeton used, and we don't see often in our out of conference schedule

 

[Plum Street]

Why are we not playing zone. Yes I know ND can shoot, but they’re murdering us in the lane

Because this is the strategy

 

[koleszar]

Guys stop complaining about the refs. ND generally does not commit fouls.

OK but do they only commit one the entire half a lot of times? Cause we're at the 2 min. mark and they've got exactly 1

 

[rob kight]

Some pre game analysts said we are too fast for ND. So far, it looks like the opposite. Also, said their game totally based on 3’s. But they have 24 in paint
