Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Wake Forest

[Antnee79]

WF 6 of 9 from 3 keeping this from a blow out.

 

[gmay8]

Not going 2 for 1 with 42 seconds and the ball is coaching malpractice

 

[PatrickRU92]

Big breath everybody. There are going to be runs. Prepare yourself for it. This is basketball

Nah

Wake Forest played horrendously in that half and is within striking distance. Bad omen, but if we keep the pressure up, we will be ok

 

[rob kight]

Out most of the half with 2 fouls.

The second one a charge was a bad call

 

[PatrickRU92]

I'm going to say it again for the umpteenth year.... This program needs to get more points from beyond the arc.

EVERYBODY does it . we pretty much dominate but they make 6 of 9 from the perimeter which is whey they're even in the game. Many of those were contested too. Guys make shots. We need to too.

 

[bac2therac]

Wake is shooting 54.5% and 6-9 from 3...most of them open

Our D isnt that good

Ru shooting 58%

Lol

I get Paul likes to be fancy with his passes, but a lot of times the recipient is ready or aware. Sure Woolfolk should have caught it but he definitely wasn’t expecting it.

the defense is fine at least 2 of those makes were well covered.

How about we do that (make late contested 3s) sometimes?

They full court pressed us out of the timeout. We needed to be patient to get the ball across half court.

They full court pressed us out of the timeout. We needed to be patient to get the ball across half court.

Even if not, sprinting down and jacking up a shot in less than 12 seconds just to get the ball back with <10 seconds again is not a good plan. If there is 55 seconds or something, sure

 

[bac2therac]

Lol

54.5% isnt good D...we are playing great D in terms of pressuring the ball..inbounds but shredded from outside

Our offense is only clicking from this pressure D...otherwise our offense isnt that great despite shooting 58.5% Aggressive successful...passive we are bad

Imo we need to be as physical as we can

I like being up 10 dont get me wrong but Wake can score in bunches

Are you serious?? For a guy who know so much about basketball you are so wrong too often

He was calling for it.

 

[Degaz-RU]

First half was filled with Fool’s Gold on both sides.

Doubt we’re going to force 12 TOs in the 2nd half again, so we need to be better in half court defense.

But I also doubt WF is going to shoot 6-9 from 3-Pt range again. But we need to do a better job not leaving their shooters wide open.

You know my stance. Perennial annoying thorn

 

[bac2therac]

Wake 12 turnovers but Rutgers has 9..way too many

 

[wngarbarini]

If his ankle is bad you sure can’t tell

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

55%, 67, and 75 for them shooting - no bueno

They scored 33 points in a half while shooting 6/9 threes. defense was fine come on

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

That’s the feed to Cliff

 

[bac2therac]

Awesome response

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Cam on

 

[koleszar]

Good way to come out of the half.

 

[zappaa]

Paul could pop and shoot off the screen anytime he wants but refuses

 

[bac2therac]

King Cam

 

[koleszar]

Spencer is unconscious this game.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Cam on

 

[PatrickRU92]

3 pointers.

LOVE

 

[zappaa]

Mag
Thank god he slowed up

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Mag stop with the 3s- find the guy like making them

 

[bac2therac]

Tell bac 2 stop the hand wringing

Phenomenal start to 2nd half

 

[RUDead]

Best matchups for RU are when a team has a great offense but a bad defense like today.

 

[RUDiddy777]

Wow. Appleby.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Well that was a good first 4 minutes to start the 2nd half.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

+20. 9-9 fouls. 3s actually dropped. Yippee

 

[RUDiddy777]

There we go Paul!

 

[mildone_rivals]

I liked how McConnell helped up Appleby after Appleby’s diving defense. Players don’t often do that anymore. But that was a great effort defender recognizing great effort defending.
