Playing without Baker puts added pressure on Harper to be the go to scorer.Rutgers isn't getting any offense from the center position and the team has missed too many shots within 10 feet of the basket.Palmquist must hit the 3 pointers from the corners in order to earn playing time.Syracuse is hanging in the game which is a bad sign because Rutgers should be ahead by double figures .

We should have enough to get by Cuse. But sorely miss Gio. He is a must as competition steps up.

I think someone on Rutgers needs to step up the energy.

Any chance the late start is affecting them?

Do something.. come out in a press and push the ball in transition.. just play real fast.. up the ENERGY!

We are beating them percentage wise in every shooting category.. how can we only be up 4?


Hmm.. they took and made more FTs 7-10 and we are 3-4... and we have been called for more fouls.. 10-6

this was some of the same fears we saw from the Hofstra game, some similar things going on

This is where we miss not having 9-10 OOC games to let the frosh get their feet wet, but presumably everyone is dealing with this.
I agree. Remember Caleb in his first few games ? Looked like he couldn’t even dribble . These guys r getting thrown for the wolves right away

the energy was fine up 10...its being aware of situations and jumping on the opponent when they have the opportunity, its basket here or not fouling there and RU could be up 16

and now they have made it a one possession game already

Bad feeling about letting them hang around.... They just keep nailing 3s.... A poor possession or 2 puts us behind.... We need to extend the lead back to 10+
