My guess is we're going to look to pressure Bucknell's guards and chase them off the line, and leave Omoruyi on an island under the basket to deal with their center. Fittingly named "Screen", he seems to be a post player only, with only a single missed attempt from behind the arc all year.
Bucknell game
- Thread starter RutgersSouthFL
- Start date
They have two 7 footers, but one doesn't really play.
Their starters:
32.7 min - Rice (6-3, 16.2 pts, 2.8 rb, 4.3 ast)
29.1 min - Edmonds (6-1, 9.1 pts, 2.9 rb, 2.8 ast)
28.8 min - Timmerman (6-9, 11.2 pts, 6.7 rb)
23.4 min - Screen (7-0, 11.5 pts, 6.2 rb)
22.5 min - Motta (6-6, 7.2 pts, 2.8 rb)
Their reserves:
19.2 min - Van Der Heijden (6-9, 4.8 pts, 4.3 rb)
14.1 min - Bascoe (6-0, 3.3 pts, 2.8 rb, 2.3 ast)
12.2 min - Bijiek (6-9, 3.1 pts, 1.5 rb)
12.1 min - Adoe (6-3, 4.7 pts, 2.3 rb)
No one else has more than 44 min across their first 12 games.
If a guy threw (back in the day) 95 MPH but never made to a big league roster you could guess they couldn’t throw strikes without looking at the stats.
What's kind of amazing about that lineup, too, is that not one of those 9 rotational guys is a transfer from another program. Every one has spent his entire D1 career at Bucknell. Wonder how many teams in the country can say that.
Wake Forest had 5 guys on the roster 6'10-7'1, didn't do them any good.
They’ve invented this thing called salt that melts ice on roads. I haven’t slid on ice on a road in 30 years. Of course, that was on my way to a Rutgers game and the only non-deer related accident in my life.
Salt is going to be tough for this one. The rain is so heavy that it's washing off/diluting the salt on the road, the temperature is going down to single digits tonight. There will definitely be patches of ice tomorrow in places, especially anywhere where there could be puddles of standing water.
Yea I'm wondering about the conditions and turnout.
I have some tickets but everyone is bailing due to weather
Think the roads will be icy people? I live in California now so haven't driven on icy roads in yearsss. I'm a bit concerned
While the Rutgers athletic department is mostly incompetent, I doubt losing a few concession dollars from a holiday game against Bucknell will affect future plans. They already knew the students would be gone and that attendance would be a bit lighter due to Christmas. I wouldn't worry about it.
Coming from Bergen County and playing it by ear. The flash freeze thing is no joke
Yea I'm coming from way out by the Delaware Water Gap so it's an hour or so drive
Yeah def but everything counts for a cash strapped Athletic Dept
At temps you will see tonight road salt alone cant be relied on to prevent icing. With black ice it only takes one bad patch or one untreated road to spin helplessly in your vehicle. Please do take care and particularly on back roads proceed with caution.
I haven’t seen a 50-50 yet this season. If they are selling them they’re doing a great job of keeping it quiet.
PS - the frisbee dogs at the WF game were the first halftime entertainment this year as well.
