Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Temple

[zappaa]

ZERO on ball pressure, none.
Perhaps we should try it

 

[bac2therac]

Down 15 but seems like 30

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

surprised it’s only 15

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

0 for 5 from 3 and Oskar and Cliff have 3 of the attempts. It’s not that we can’t shoot. Our shooters can’t get open…

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Good thing Wagner is not on the schedule

 

[RUChoppin]

Rutgers was supposed to have bench scoring this season.

I'll settle for any scoring. Bench or otherwise.

 

[ru66]

This is the first time RU is playing a real team. I dont like playing 3 sisters of poor to start the year

Still i think once we settle down we assert ourselves

Man you blow with the wind-- from accolades to attacks.

 

[ScarletDave]

Temple runs an offense, Rutgers hopes they can score somehow

This

 

[Degaz-RU]

Halftime positives:

- We’re 9 for 11 from the free throw line.

That’s all I got.

 

[jordkap]

Looks like a complete shell of a team without Paul and Caleb. No confidence or rhythm today

 

[mugrat86]

Oskar should only play in garbage time

 

[bethlehemfan]

In some ways this is a good reality check for the program to see just where we are at.

Im not convinced that even with Paul we wouldnt see the same stuggle offensively and defensively...we had stretches of no offense in the first 3 games

Paul was dinged to be fair

 

[FIJI'83]

Keep shooting Oskar. Please.

What does Oscar have against the rim? He keeps throwing the ball against it.

 

[TheHandOfChaos]

What did Palmquist do to cause all the LOLs? Sorry not able to watch atm

 

[#1 RUFan]

Pike did not have these guys ready. They're sleepwalking. I'll say it again, this game was a bad take. This game is high risk low reward. No exposure, crowd is dead, and the commentators are boring. Temple is kicking our *** and we can't hit a lay up. This will be hard to come back from 2nd half.

 

[Randal7]

“Boys, we just got our asses kicked. You gonna let that happen again in the 2h?”

 

[TheKidFromRahway]

What did Palmquist do to cause all the LOLs? Sorry not able to watch atm

He’s playing

 

[BillyC80]

How the hell did Temple lose to Wagner?

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Not gonna overreact to a random November game in an empty casino but boy we looks awful

 

[FIJI'83]

What’s the betting line on Miller taking a shot during the 2nd half?

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Not gonna overreact to a random game in an empty casino but boy we looks awful

Couldn't flee the TV fast enough. I haven't looked back since.

 

[PatrickRU92]

This will not be a bad loss at the end of the year, assuming we lose, as Temple is a good team.

nah. they're not going anywhere. This will be a bad loss but I expected to lose once I saw Caleb and Paul not playing.

 

[Rokodesh]

What did Palmquist do to cause all the LOLs? Sorry not able to watch atm

He's just terrible. Missed two corner three's, offers nothing else. Should have at least put Dean in the game for those

 

[koleszar]

Man you blow with the wind-- from accolades to attacks.

You got something to cheer about this game? Please enlighten us, we're all dying to be happy about something we've seen tonight.

 

[ScarletDave]

Who would win, this team on the court or Wagner?? Pathetic shooting and offense

 

[RUz91]

He's just terrible. Missed two corner three's, offers nothing else. Should have at least put Dean in the game for those

Plus he didn't even follow his shot. Should have easily had an offensive rebound on his first miss and just stood there

 

[zebnatto]

To think, a mere hour ago I was looking forward to . . . to . . . THIS.

 

[ScarletDave]

This is a prerecorded halftime show lol nothing but the best from ESPN. Feels like the old Big East days on SNY right now

 

[Rutgers25]

This is not that surprising. What’s more surprising is that people thought this team short 2 of their best players was still better than Temple. My 66-62 temple prediction was too kind

 

[Knightmoves]

nah. they're not going anywhere. This will be a bad loss but I expected to lose once I saw Caleb and Paul not playing.

Caleb hasn’t played yet this season. We have been fine without him.

 

[Rokodesh]

Who would win, this team on the court or Wagner?? Pathetic shooting and offense

Not sure this team tonight would beat a group of 50 year olds at the YMCA

 

[itsRtime]

Can't believe pikes went with palmquist over threiber. He would have for sure made at least one of those two Oscar missed.

 

[FIJI'83]

Pike’s teams are RAC (trapezoid of terror) dependent.

 

[pmvon]

He's just terrible. Missed two corner three's, offers nothing else. Should have at least put Dean in the game for those

Where is Dean? Hasn’t played?

 

[zebnatto]

He's just terrible. Missed two corner three's, offers nothing else. Should have at least put Dean in the game for those

Would much rather have Dean out there.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Oskar is tough to watch

It's why I've been very reserved in my reactions to our three blowouts so far, as I just didn't think the competition was worth getting that fired up about. We'll certainly be better with Paul and Caleb - and with playing at a higher intensity level - but I still think we're a middle of the pack B1G team that will hopefully be on the right side of the bubble this year. I forgot to make a prediction, but had been thinking 19-10/9-2 OOC/10-10 B1G (the first three were gimmes).

 

[PatrickRU92]

Caleb hasn’t played yet this season.

i know that. I 'm expecting him back at some point

 

[Rokodesh]

Where is Dean? Hasn’t played?

He played a few minutes. Made a few boneheaded plays (including turnover that led to immediate layup+1

 

[RUJMM78]

38-23 half time.Horrendous offense by Rutgers while Temple wins the game at the 3 point line.Some day Rutgers will understand the impotance of the 3 pointn shot and recruit shooters like Iowa does every season..
