Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Temple

[bac2therac]

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

4 turnovers..bad shot selection..hes a 4th year player we need to raise expectations on him....but

 

[BOGDANOVICH]

Theres no geo and ron to save us in games like this

Alot of unproven guys on this roster

Next year there will be no Geo, no Ron, no Paul, no Cliff, no Caleb. Their replacements will have a tall task given the mediocre recruiting, No matter how good Griffith turns out to be, he will need a lot of help.

 

[RUChoppin]

Woolfolk needed to not foul there

 

[Rokodesh]

He looked medicated. No problem not playing him today

The whole played like they were on tranquilizers

 

[bac2therac]

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

Scary when caleb and paul and maybe cliff leave..i know Gavin is coming but

 

[RUChoppin]

Ruined our perfect record from the arc

 

[RU848789]

1-14 from deep!!

 

[RU848789]

Scary when caleb and paul and maybe cliff leave..i know Gavin is coming but

I think Paul and Cliff stay, but no inside info

 

[RU-Hunter]

That horn in the arena is annoying

 

[Rokodesh]

Very disappointed with Spencer. I thought at the very least he would get us some baskets

 

[bac2therac]

Team has fight. Overall there are some positives

 

[bac2therac]

Oh well

 

[RU206]

Make FTs and this is a different game

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Hopefully a learning experience

 

[RUChoppin]

Make FTs and this is a different game

Make FTs and even 20% from 3

 

[bethlehemfan]

Just needed to make a couple shots

 

[rubjk]

Make FTs and this is a different game

Hit 20% from 3 and we win. 3 point line was the difference.

 

[Randal7]

Mag legit doesn’t know when to dribble. It’s concerning. Every game hes good for at least one walking TO

 

[ScarletDave]

Temple absolutely terrible team. They will have 9 wins this year. Bad bad NET loss when the time Comes

 

[fatsam98]

Well that was frustrating as hell. Cliff is clearly not 100%. Hopefully we heal up quick. Long drive home now

 

[RUfromNJ]

We win this game with an awful night from 3 instead of simply inept

 

[Rokodesh]

Temple absolutely terrible team. They will have 9 wins this year. Bad bad NET loss when the time Comes

Temple has talent, they'll surprise some teams.

 

[Saint Puppy]

Very disappointed with Spencer. I thought at the very least he would get us some baskets

I think there was reason he was in the Patriot League (no offense to him) - but things here just on a different level. I think he will be somewhat effective, but he is not 'Next Man Up' for Ron or Geo.

 

[zappaa]

Reiber not even a sniff

 

[zappaa]

Well that was frustrating as hell. Cliff is clearly not 100%. Hopefully we heal up quick. Long drive home now

Cliff is hurting?

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

The sky isn't falling, pigs aren't flying, happens. We were without our starting PG. We win this if he's healthy, end of story.

 

[RUBlackout]

Terrible start crushed us.

FTs killed us. Could have been a tied game or winning.

This was disappointing

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

I think there was reason he was in the Patriot League (no offense to him) - but things here just on a different level. I think he will be somewhat effective, but he is not 'Next Man Up' for Ron or Geo.

He’ll replace Geo when all is said and done. Geo has bad games too.

 

[Rokodesh]

The sky isn't falling, pigs aren't flying, happens. We were without our starting PG. We win this if he's healthy, end of story.

We win if we hit 20% from three

4 turnovers..bad shot selection..hes a 4th year player we need to raise expectations on him....but

I'm not impressed in the least. He needs to understand the game and the situation. Why on a fast break you would hoist a 3 with no body on boards. No need for it when you have a pssesion you need points on. Way too many missed opportunities on TO's and bad shot selections. Temple tried to give us the game

 

[#1 RUFan]

Give them credit for not giving up, but it was a little too late. Halftime deficit put them in a bad spot. Lesson learned, play out of conference games at home. As we've seen in the past this team sometimes starts out slow. With Paul and Caleb we probably win this game. Team was out of rhythm today.

We were without the starting point guard and the big ten defensive player of the year. This is an easy win full strength. Actually liked the growth I saw the second half. We will be fine.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Ruined our perfect record from the arc

Of course. Just extra salt.

 

[RUJMM78]

Spencer and Cliff were the high scorers with 17 and 21 points many of which occured at the end of game in uncontested shots.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

One bright spot was that after I thought we might not score again after the first half, we scored 43 in the second half….with only one 3, no less.

 

[Saint Puppy]

We were without the starting point guard and the big ten defensive player of the year. This is an easy win full strength. Actually liked the growth I saw the second half. We will be fine.

The issue is that Cam was brought in here to score. Let's remember that while Caleb is an absolute Stud defensively, his offense has been inconsistent at best through the years. The hope is he comes back this year and puts it all together. Either way we need Cam's offense. What I saw tonight in Cam was someone who was struggling with the athleticism of the game.

 

[Rokodesh]

Never do another one of these stupid tournaments in a lifeless casino again

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

I feel like I am in the "Stupid Zone" whenever I read a Game Day Thread. Stupid people trying to out stupid each other.

 

[jerzeyguy]

Where is Scangg at. He said we would win by double digits

 

[Saint Puppy]

He’ll replace Geo when all is said and done. Geo has bad games too.

Guy I saw tonight cannot replace Geo. This was not just about having a bad game - this was about not being able to keep up with a step up in class athletically with Temple.
