Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD -- Rutgers versus Princeton

[Rufaninga]

Changed my mind...

I would like to see a 20% healthy Mag get on the court

 

[bethlehemfan]

Such a mess..i dont know what to think other than we never should be playing Princeton to open this season

Guess a couple of alums are getting their jollies right now

Really stupid game.

 

[IL Lusciato]

Yeah this was a waste of time. Glad I got sick and couldn't go to the game.

 

[RUTrack94]

Princeton putting on a clinic. Rutgers looks undisciplined and sloppy today.

Pike says it’s a much better shooting team. Not today. Hopefully the team gels.

 

[Mikemarc]

Princeton is just much better. Fundamentally sound, better shooters. Oh well.

 

[dark_check]

Brutal perimeter defense

Short guards

 

[zappaa]

We have one shooter and we don’t even try to get him a look

He’s covered.
Princeton defends the perimeter

 

[RUChoppin]

If Princeton beats us by 12, they might end up a Q2 in the net formula after all

 

[ImBadRU]

Our D is pathetic as is our rebounding. Look really soft.

 

[newell138]

We look really bad.. gonna be a long year

A bit dramatic no?

Hope it’s out of their system. I doubt it

 

[bac2therac]

It’s early. But this could be a very long season. We don’t look good at all on either end.

Its Princeton..not reflective of a normal opening night

Furious this game was scheduled

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

See you next November?

 

[BillyC80]

We finally tie it up and then their center makes 2 threes. Wtf?

 

[RUsojo]

I dont understand what people see to hype cliff every offseason.

“Potential all american”
“Maybe the best center in the country”

Ive never seen it

Unfortunately other than the stretch where we beat 5 ranked teams or whatever, cliff has been predominantly but in inefficient positions playing back to the basket at an absurdly high percentage.

He should be in the PnR every single possession if you want to utilize the skill set he has.

Idiots

 

[mikeylew1992]

Nice opening game against Princeton, wonderful scheduling. F this game

 

[Rufaninga]

CO with TOUCH. or not

 

[RU to the Core]

Team looks unpikelike. No d

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Maybe Cliff will come back next year?

 

[RU Mike73]

We play Princeton, we *****. We play Little Sisters of the Poor, we *****. Welcome to New Jersey.

Anddddd just like that, dump it into cliff out of the timeout. Coaching travesty.

 

[JudgeSmails56]

We should never play Princeton again.. they’re abusing us

 

[bac2therac]

Cliff is overrated

 

[richthedentist]

same Cliff ball goes down low its a black hole with no touch

 

[bethlehemfan]

Gavin has a long way to go

 

[koleszar]

It was Cliff trying to rebound while everyone else watched. Team just doesn't want it, they're just going through the motions. Leaderless

 

[JudgeSmails56]

How many close shots can we miss?

 

[Joey Bags]

Game.

 

[RutgersChow]

NOT ONE TIME HAVE WE PUT A BODY ON SOMEONE WHEN A SHOT HAS GONE UP .

 

[RUChoppin]

This team looks like it picked right up from the NIT loss

 

[bethlehemfan]

Where will leadership come from

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Its Princeton..not reflective of a normal opening night

Why? Learn to play against a disciplined good shooting team. A lot to learn by playin g this game. I’d start by teaching layups

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Team looks unpikelike. No d

Need more size on the perimeter.
Shooting like there is no one there

 

[scarlet letter]

Score???

 

[RUIvyKnight20]

Needed that by Cliff to stop the bleeding

 

[richthedentist]

Same team still have no one who can shoot a three pointer

 

[Mr_Sinister]

Princeton simply shooting lights out. Some of it is subpar D, but a lot of it is just great shooting. Couple that with our terrible shooting and them getting to every single loose ball.

 

[bac2therac]

Yeah this was a waste of time. Glad I got sick and couldn't go to the game.

Absolutely but it made RU72 and Jerry Carino giddy

 

[IL Lusciato]

This is gonna be a painful season.
