Basketball LIVE GAME THREAD: RU vs No. 20 PSU

[toby83]

Watkins looks good, no bueno

 

[Scangg]

Again people, we are right in this game playing like trash on offense. Good sign

 

[BillyC80]

Good timeout by Chambers. Trying to keep us from a flow.

 

[BOCA93]

Do we have a single offensive board?

 

[czxqa]

Pike is going to rip them a new one. I expect them to come out playing with passion in the 2nd half.

Totally agree. Looked like it took everything he had to not throw a nutty seeing how they are playing.

 

[BillyC80]

Ok we shoot 2 foul shots for the rest of the half.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Dagger 3

 

[BillyC80]

Ok score from the line.

 

[RutHut_rivals]

Smart play by Young.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

3-10 fouls

 

[BillyC80]

Harper, why?

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Watkins is a grown man

 

[RutHut_rivals]

Yes!

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Finally Yeboah

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

We need Yeboah

 

[koleszar]

Harper just killed us with that 3 attempt.

 

[RutHut_rivals]

PM had Yeboah

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Just a killer sequence

 

[BillyC80]

We have fouls to give!

 

[Scangg]

All day Myles!

 

[BillyC80]

We should have fouled twice before the shot, bad coaching there.

 

[tfio]

Winnable

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

Good finish. Put points on the board. Within 5. This could have gotten ugly but they dug in. Now need to hit some shots

 

[Scangg]

5 points at the half with how terrible we played is fine. We are right in this game. Might have to place a bet on the second half

 

[ScarletDave]

Harper hits that 3 is the loudest the RAC would have been all season. Can we have nice things like that please

 

[toby83]

PM had Yeboah

I was about to say that .he was nearly wide open hitting th4le lane

 

[MadRU]

They got nothing from Stevens expect a big second half from him. Watkins has dominated inside.

We played about as bad as we can for a good part of the half. Have to wake up.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Stevens 0 and down 5 is a problem

 

[bac2therac]

Ah i think that possession at 27-26 could have been handled better

I will take 33-28

But Stevens sat so his return will be an issue

Still with how poorly the offesnse looked to be down only 5 isnt bad

PSU did a fantastic job of shutting down the crowd but last couple of minutes woke us up

We need a stop and a bucket to start the 2nd half. The crowd will will this team to victory tonight

 

[RU Mike73]

5 point swing. We can win this as 1st half about as bad as could be. 9 for 29 and 0 for 5 from 3.

 

[BillyC80]

In a perfect world Harper makes that wide open 3 and then we use our fouls to give before the half. Could easily be tied, but I’ll take a 5-point deficit the way we played.

 

[brookdale-soda]

C'mon. If ur at the RAC......PRIMAL SCREAM.....2nd Half. Were in this. They need some juice on the boards ! Give it to them!

 

[Scangg]

Stevens 0 and down 5 is a problem

I was just thinking that checking the box score. Just like we are saying we are right in this and played so poorly PSU can point to that. Watkins can't keep up that pace would be the counter

 

[Scangg]

C'mon. If ur at the RAC......PRIMAL SCREAM.....2nd Half. Were in this. They need some juice on the boards ! Give it to them!

The RAC looked like it was loud AF on TV. I can't imagine if Harper hit that 3....

 

[RU848789]

Only down 5 is a victory of sorts. Their defense has been very good and our shooting bad. It happens. Why didn't we foul at the end of the half though?

 

[RUsince52]

We played a little better the last 7 minutes and finally made some shots. Our FTs are actually helping us. When we miss so many shots early, we really look out of sync and some of our non-athleticism shows up. Too many easy baskets that we missed so badly. Lets correct the mistakes this half.

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers 10-11 at line might be our best strategy to win

Young our leading rebounder at 4 is an issue. Myles just with 2 and overall down 23-17

 

[scarletNJ49]

Here’s to better shooting!

 

[DHajekRC84]

I was just thinking that checking the box score. Just like we are saying we are right in this and played so poorly PSU can point to that. Watkins can't keep up that pace would be the counter

With Watkins dominating and you the coach...wasn't there an opportunity to play 2 of Shaw, douc, and miles at the same time?
Put Douc in for defense and let miles go loose?
Don't see the adjustments to take out the big guy. 16 of 33 pts.

 

[SBP]

We are screaming our asses off! It’s loud in here. Missing chippies, they gotta drive and dish more, it works! That will open up shots. Paul looks good. Kwasi, not so much. Myles getting pushed around
