Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Lehigh

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

Put in the 3 point sharp shooter Palmquist

 

[zappaa]

The constant “see, I told you we suck at this” bitching is an absolute joke.

Poor defense and bad offense will do that…no?

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Unless you have any idea how to estimate probability.

I think they turn it around in the 2nd half. Shoot 45% the rest of the way we win.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

9-12 from FT is the best take away I’ve got. Rest can be flushed

 

[LBusDoor90_rivals]

Ok, give us all your positive we look f in great stuff..well wait.

Nobody is doing anything but calling out the short fall so far.

Easy - they won’t keep shooting like they are from 3 because Pike will make it a defensive focus. Then we take over.
If they do and we keep missing shots of all types like there’s a lid on the hoop, then I guess they win.
How’s that?

 

[BigEastPhil]

Cliff has to stay out of foul trouble.

 

[DHajekRC84]

We should be good this next half, we're now shooting at the rim where the ball goes in.

A decision was made at halftime that our rim will require masking.

 

[Knightmoves]

Is anyone watching on BTN plus?

 

[Bobbynieds]

Crowd is also absolutely dead.

AGreed
RAC was crazy
Jersey Mikes Arena is a morgue

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Cliff 2 fouls predictable. Went thru it with Myles all last year, but now no Cliff to back up

Discouraging to see Cliff go for the head fake against a guy whose shot he probably could swat by standing still.

 

[Bobbynieds]

Is anyone watching on BTN plus?

I AM....good video

 

[Rufaninga]

Out rebounded 17-16. Not good.
No reason for this against Lehigh

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

can you buy a jersey mikes sub at jersey mike's arena?

 

[RUsojo]

How can you possibly determine this when 2 of these guys have combined for 10 minutes in a Rutgers uniform entering tonight?

Well I can’t determine anything but this is how I feel after watching this group of guys the last few years and LSU last year.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Geo for 3o

Not even close. I asked you what was so great about the first half. Not what we hope happens in the 2nd. But I'm certainly rooting for your scenerio.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

How was that a foul? SO MUCH BALL!

 

[rtabachk]

@kyk1827 what type of offense are we running?

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Tied

 

[Bobbynieds]

37-37
2 minutes into half


Geo with first 3 pointer to start half

 

[tom49]

@kyk1827 what type of offense are we running?

Sounds like the non-existent type

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

@kyk1827 what type of offense are we running?

This year, he expects the ball to be flying around the court.

“I think every team has a different personality and different strength. These guys can all pass the ball,” Pikiell told NJ Advance Media last week. “That’s who I want to be. I want to share the game, pass up a good shot for a great shot and these guys have embraced that. They mesh well, they’re interchangeable in a lot of ways, they’re learning how to play in different spots. I think this team has a lot of good traits and one of them is being good, willing passers. It’s one thing to be a good passer and never pass the ball, you have to be a willing passer too.”

****

THAT.. is what he said the offense will look like.. not the NBA-style iso crap.. and yet, I have seen stuff that looks a lot like NBA ISO crap.

 

[bac2therac]

RAC finally alive

 

[LBusDoor90_rivals]

Not even close. I asked you what was so great about the first half. Not what we hope happens in the 2nd. But I'm certainly rooting for your scenerio.

My point is you have certainly been around long enough to know trends in the first half like we saw NEVER last the whole game. Chicken Littles here go into absolute panic mode despite knowing that. It’s maddening.

RAC finally alive

I just flipped on the radio broadcast

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Love left hand slams

Weird you don’t like talking about every facet of the game in the moment

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

A lead!

 

[Bobbynieds]

41-40 RU

at 4 minute break

I will try to update score during breaks.

 

[zebnatto]

Real bad shot by Ron.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I hear you. I've had the same exact thought in game threads in the past: "have these people ever played sports". And for the same reason - people overreacting to a slow start.

I don’t care if we win by 1 tonight. Just get this one out of the way.

 

[RUsojo]

Should win without sweating it out

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Wouldn’t mind a Cliff slam and 3 out of the break here.

 

[koleszar]

Brown is probably my least favorite color.

Dark brown on my barn looks really nice.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

There’s the slam

 

[LBusDoor90_rivals]

Weird you don’t like talking about every facet of the game in the moment

That’s not the kind of comment I was referring to. It’s the “we suck, told you so” snark crowd that make these threads a joke.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Austin Johnson is a good listen btw

 

[RU_SAM]

cliff is the real deal

 

[Knight Shift]

Hope they are loud.
