Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD -- Rutgers versus Princeton

[greenknight]

The peacock app hung my TV so had to switch to the app on my Xbox, which is okay, but periodically freezes for a half second. The peacock app is clearly crap software.

I cant even pay for the piece of **** it wont let me

 

[Rutgers25]

The amount of missed layups is mind boggling. Otherwise playing fine

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Unacceptable given hype we heard

Fernandes and Simpson looked really bad. Let’s hope it’s just one half

 

[RUsojo]

So far, I like Fernandez and Davis in the back court.

my best 5 right now.

Fernandez
Davis
Oskar
Wolf
Cliff

Simpson - if he can actually finish at the rim - he will be at another level. as of now he is avg/below avg at best
Gavin - still long ways to go... but im sure he will get there with some playing time
Williams/Hyatt = i rate them same... yucky

There will come a time where pike will be hard pressed to play any of these 3 guards together IMO. Especially Davis/Simpson.

Best thing for this team will be Gavin being/growing into a comfortable secondary ball handler.

We barely saw Gavin to make an assessment

I usually sign up via websites on a computer. Too many people have issues with entertainment apps and the signup process.

 

[RU Mike73]

They were a 15 seed who got hot

So???

 

[zebnatto]

Shots are there that you can’t miss. Let’s see.

Btw—Gavinnever missed that three in the highlights I saw.

 

[SBP]

JMike bout to take somebody’s starting job you watch.. if things continue . He’s just got “it”

 

[Mikemarc]

They were a 15 seed who got hot

Yes. We’re down to a sweet 16 team by 4. We’re ok

 

[cRURah]

i like playing princeton but not in season opener.

 

[dark_check]

So???

We’re not down 4 at half to a perennial sweet 16 team. That Princeton team did well. This one doesn’t have 3 key players from that team. It’s a quad three game. We look terrible

 

[RutgersChow]

Hard to watch these guys. Like they never played together before.
No rhythm.
No chemistry.
No spark.

Davis Gavin Hyatt Woolfolk Cliff

 

[Mikemarc]

The best player on that team graduated.

Arguably So did ours

 

[wheezer]

Not shocked at our poor play or shooting
We don’t play well early

 

[tm_nj]

I was actually thinking it’s been a very encouraging start. Playing a ton of young guys and getting great looks. Unlucky not to be up double digits. Wouldn’t change a thing and think Rutgers rolls the rest of the way.

I sure hope so.

 

[runner1954]

Down 2 points not 10.

4 points

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

JMike bout to take somebody’s starting job you watch.. if things continue . He’s just got “it”

Problem is he shoots even worse than the starters. He provides energy though.

 

[rtabachk]

Not expecting much from us this year so this is whatever so far.

 

[bac2therac]

1-13 fom hyatt noah derek

 

[RU Mike73]

We need to shut Allocco down.

 

[RUsojo]

Not sure how Williams gets to walk into a Rutgers basketball starting lineup.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Hyatt is totally worthless right now. Hope it changes but my goodness

 

[Rokodesh]

No more Hyatt for the love of god

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

I’ve seen enough of Hyatt this year

 

[RUsojo]

Ref show

 

[bac2therac]

Totally outhustled

 

[zappaa]

Jeez Hyatt

 

[FerrisBuellerrrrr]

So far:
Wolfe better today than Cliff
Wolfe/Cliff lineup seemed good
We missed what seemed like 20 short (within 3 feet) shots, often lightly contested
OP played more than expected
If we play our top level Defense we win
They seem to target Simpson and Palmquist a lot

 

[koleszar]

Put in anyone but Hyatt.

 

[RutgersChow]

Too many guys playing. You know who your best 9 players are, play them - same as every year, and Austin Williams is not one of them. I know this is a very small sample, but he doesn't look like a Big Ten player.

 

[zebnatto]

Hyatt unchanged.

 

[dark_check]

Second chance points

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Killing us on the boards.

 

[Rokodesh]

Whole team has Butterfingers

 

[BillyC80]

Hyatt weak on rebounds.

 

[tfio]

How predictable was that made 3. A wild scramble that we don’t end up with is a guaranteed made 3 against us

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

Rough start shooting,
Derek, JMike, Hyatt, Noah and AWill
FG 2-20 at the half
