Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Temple

[RUChoppin]

Looks like we've given up

 

[RU848789]

just about over now - empty possessions...

 

[RUTrack94]

I think Simpson is going to be good but he is absolutely killing us today. Not ready for this much responsibility.

Cliff picking up where Myles left off with the free throws I see.

It’s why we needed Caleb or Paul tonight … probably win if either was healthy and played.

 

[TheKidFromRahway]

Team full of dummies

 

[njxchange]

good night everyone

Cliff don't get extra points for making tough shots.

 

[Rokodesh]

Let's hope Gavin and chol take all of Mag and Hyatt's minutes

Not alot of team ball

Disagree.. maybe with both

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

I really didn’t think neither would play. Thought we’d have one or the other. Tells me these injuries are pretty serious and not just about playing it safe.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Every year I think we can't shoot any worse...and then the next year comes.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Can't win when you don't make a few threes... oh well...

 

[Saint Puppy]

As much as I don't like Hyatt's game, we needed his scoring today.....and I really don't like his game. It speaks to how anemic we were on offense today.

 

[RU848789]

Yep and Hyatts gane today just confirming my thoughts

He's 4-8 and 5-5 from the line, although 4 TOs (and 3 boards/2 steals) - decent game IMO.

Stop

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

I think it’s time to switch over to the Jeopardy Tournament of Champions.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Would’ve been a different game with either one at full strength. Your forgetting how bad we were to open the game.

 

[Doteman]

Cliff is brutal on D

 

[Rokodesh]

This might be the worst game of pike's tenure. I couldn't physically stomach watching this garbage anymore

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Perhaps. But we needed a shooter and they don’t really help in that regard.

 

[bac2therac]

Need more than that as an upperclassman with 2 guys out

 

[rufeelinit]

Cliff is brutal on D

Yes #4 got the better of him.

 

[bethlehemfan]

I liked what I saw second half. Just needed to make a couple shots.

 

[koleszar]

We already did. This team without Paul and Caleb is toast. Need them both in the lineup to keep the backups on the bench as long as humanly possible.

 

[RUTrack94]

Really sucks that Wagner beat TU at TU and Rutgers lost on a neutral court. Loss wouldn’t look at bad if TU beat Wagner.

 

[bac2therac]

Perhaps. But we needed a shooter and they don’t really help in that regard.

Its not like Paul and Caleb provide instant offense

We are still in a battle to replace Geo and Rons production

 

[RutHut_rivals]

Bad loss.

 

[Rutgers25]

Cliff is brutal on D

He’s definitely very overrated on D. Can’t really guard anybody

 

[Saint Puppy]

He's 4-8 and 5-5 from the line, although 4 TOs (and 3 boards/2 steals) - decent game IMO.

Hyatt does not play winning/team basketball. Need to think about what we need moving forward - it is definitely not his style of play.

 

[shields]

Take two starters from Indiana how are they going to look?

 

[RutgersNo1]

When can Steve recruit a shooter?

 

[bethlehemfan]

Full strength it’s a comfortable win

 

[RU848789]

One more horrifying stat: 2 bench points (although to be fair, some of our starters would normally be coming off the bench)

 

[RUTrack94]

Tough last 2 days seeing Soccer and BB lose. Hopefully RU can pull the miracle off and beat PSU in football.

 

[RUDead]

Cliff is brutal on D

He's been out of position all night on that big guy. Terrible.

 

[Rokodesh]

Dean needs more minutes. At worst he makes a few shots that Mag could never in his life. Hyatt should also never play on the perimeter. He's not a wing whatsoever.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

The box score is going to make it look like Cam had a good game. He did not.

 

[bac2therac]

Yes #4 got the better of him.

Cliff had 19 and 11 today..not a bad game...first half d wasnt good

 

[RUfromNJ]

The standard holds. We can beat anyone at the RAC. We can lose to anyone away from the RAC. Far more often than not, we look punchless and out of control away from that place.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Dean needs more minutes. At worst he makes a few shots that Mag could never in his life. Hyatt should also never play on the perimeter. He's not a wing whatsoever.

He looked medicated. No problem not playing him today
