Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Lehigh

[bac2therac]

Cliff with 2 killed everything

 

[kt124]

that fast break was horrendous

 

[biazza38]

I really don’t want to read any pre season reports ever again

Cliff with 2 killed everything

He fouls alot. We better get used to it. More often than not he’ll get 2 in the 1st half

 

[LBusDoor90_rivals]

I always wonder why I look in here. What a bunch of chest-thumping know-it-all whiners.

 

[Shell21]

Horrible first half. Defense is lacking . Got to knock down some shot. Geo not looking good early

 

[DHajekRC84]

What the **** was that?

Official term in scoring book is a NIL.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Oooffff

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

Only the first half in the first game, but man this is rough to watch.

 

[JFK20]

There is zero quickness anywhere on this roster.

 

[Bobbynieds]

36-31 after half

 

[MS-RU]

Horrendous half. No defense and can’t shoot. Great start to the season.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Down 5 at half. Feels worse.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

yikes 0-7 from 3pt land

I always wonder why I look in here. What a bunch cheat thumping know-it-all whiners.

It’s called watching the game.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

There is zero quickness anywhere on this roster.

2 huge concerns of mine coming into the year. What guard of ours can play defense at a big ten levels on other teams PG? The 5. We miss JY and Myles biggggg time

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

The good news is that Agee and Reiber might be able to eat up some minutes since I expect Cliff to be in foul trouble often. Agee not looking too good, however.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

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

 

[Degaz-RU]

Defense is very disoriented, and offense disjointed.

 

[LBusDoor90_rivals]

It’s called watching the game.

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

 

[Queztastic]

Jones seemed to have some when he was in there

Cliff foul trouble and lack of quickness were my two biggest concerns. We lost our two quickest players and our best defensive big man. Still think this team might be better off playing some zone with their length and lack of speed, but if they don’t practice it , forget it.

 

[SCNJ]

Think we’re being over critical of the defense. There were quite a few turnovers forced and they just held a team to only 36 points despite like 60+% shooting. Rutgers problem right now is the lack of shots falling.

 

[jordkap]

Well the good news is we are 2-0 with wins over Nova and Uconn

 

[Salvi's Headband]

At this point you have to think we're more likely than not to lose this one.

 

[RUSeaGirtMA]

Ate some bad sushi. Just had a nightmare that Rutgers, a 20 point favorite, was losing at home to Lehigh - Lehigh! - at the half. Whew…glad I woke up. Oh, wait…

 

[koleszar]

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

 

[DHajekRC84]

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

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.

You should have had some White Castle instead.

 

[fluoxetine]

At this point you have to think we're more likely than not to lose this one.

Unless you have any idea how to estimate probability.

 

[RUsojo]

How long is it going to take Pike to realize his best lineup is McConnell at the 1, Jones at the 2, Hyatt and Harper at the wings, and Cliff at the 5? My bet is never

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Crowd is also absolutely dead.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

I just don't see the offense looking like they said it would look.. little team offense.. little motion (purposeful motion) without the ball. 36% from the floor. Ouch.

Cliff starting could be troublesome. Teams will target him for fouls right off the jump. We used to occasionally hide Myles on the bench until the game started and sub him late so the opposing coach couldn't design plays in a huddle to target him. But now if we hide Cliff.. who starts?

 

[RUNVA]

I just saw the score on TV and had to come here for the why. You guys are providing some good insight. Thanks.

 

[TonyLieske]

Great 1st half by our guys! We are giving Lehigh all they can handle, they barely kept the lead going into the half.

 

[zebnatto]

Haven't see a single thing--maybe 4 pts from jj--that I can point to as a plus.

 

[SCNJ]

How long is it going to take like to realize his best lineup is McConnell at the 1, Jones at the 2, Hyatt and Harper at the wings, and Cliff at the 5? My bet is never

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

 

[DHajekRC84]

I just don't see the offense looking like they said it would look.. little team offense.. little motion (purposeful motion) without the ball. 36% from the floor. Ouch.

It's just the first half and I expect them to pull it out but that's hardly an impressive start.

 

[biazza38]

This team isn’t good. There isn’t a single plus player on defense

 

[rcube1994]

Brown is probably my least favorite color.
