[FrankZ_RU93]

Ya think we miss Eugene?

 

[BillyC80]

Great recovery by Geo to get that block.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

3 ptrs are absolutely killing us.

 

[bac2therac]

13-2 Drexel run...they are totally outplaying us. Its Bryant all over

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Maybe you have to look at coaching

This is pathetic basketball

 

[bac2therac]

Drexel playing with a ton of confidence right now

 

[RUChoppin]

Typical low major team that comes into the RAC and shoots lights-out from behind the arc. Inability to defend the 3 still killing us

3 ptrs are absolutely killing us.

They're shooting 33%... not exactly lighting it up from deep.

 

[bac2therac]

Fundamental mistakes all night...wow

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Drexel playing with a ton of confidence right now

Anyone would vs Rutgers

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

our bigs are so soft

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Jesus ****....

 

[koleszar]

Would be nice if Myles Johnson decided to get his head out of his ***.

 

[BillyC80]

Too many turnovers.

 

[bac2therac]

Our early lead was dunks..3s..fools gold...just like Bryant our offense really struggling

 

[RUfan1027]

This has been a dreadful performance. Again.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

He better light a fire under them at the half.

 

[Rutgers25]

Myles is playing awful. Looks totally out of it.

Most of the Drexel 3s have been contested.

 

[RUChoppin]

We're back to shooting like crap. 28.6% from three, 38.1% from two.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Terrible half

 

[BillyC80]

Baker must be leading the team in blocks.

 

[RUTrack94]

Played like **** after the 10 point lead ... time to regroup!

 

[Rutgers25]

Part of the problem is that we play such aggressive perimeter D that players are able to drive and then kick.

 

[Richie O]

Halftime

RU - 30
Drexel - 31

Rutgers keeps turning it over and is struggling to score. Shooting 38% from the field, 2/7 from three. However 8/8 from FTs.

 

[Letitrip]

They will get it together - far more talent but too many forced shots.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

So we didn’t stink on Sunday? Too bad church isn’t 7 days a week. :chairshot:

 

[216 Row E]

well that wasn't pretty

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Big early season problems

 

[Degaz-RU]

Our offense is totally out of synch, so many flubs and errors. And when we get decent looks, we miss bunnies and jumpers.

This is just putrid basketball.

 

[LadyRU09]

Instead of God Bless America, they should have said a novena for the team.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

They look down on their opponents instead of playing smart and hard every minute

 

[kcg88]

Perimeter defense sucks. Stop leaving the shooters!

 

[bac2therac]

Myles is playing awful. Looks totally out of it.

Most of the Drexel 3s have been contested.

No excuses for him..2 bad fouls..missing point blank layups and fumbling the ball away

 

[BillyC80]

One thing I was noticing is that Drexel was missing a lot of open looks early on, when we built our lead. They were bound to start falling.

Gotta be in their face on every defensive possession in the second half.

Halftime

RU - 30
Drexel - 31

Rutgers keeps turning it over and is struggling to score. Shooting 38% from the field, 2/7 from three. However 8/8 from FTs.

7 tos is not the end if the world
Missing shot after shot from under the rim....is.

Drexel only has 4 tos. And outshot us 38 to 28 if my eyes are correct.and twice as many are threes.

 

[RUonBrain]

Perimeter defense sucks. Stop leaving the shooters!

I think we have always been bad at that.

Mathis was definitely guilty in game 1.

Seems like it just isn’t emphasized.
Don’t understand why.

 

[DHajekRC84]

I also can't stand how we warm-up....loose and just shooting around. Drexel running drill after drill. Passing, moving, shooting, etc.

 

[DHajekRC84]

I think we have always been bad at that.

Mathis was definitely guilty in game 1.

Seems like it just isn’t emphasized.
Don’t understand why.

Because we keep bringing our big out to defend high, then their guy rolls and another guy has to leave his man to defend the key leaving a guy outside wide open.

 

[BillyC80]

Thankfully halftime saved us from being down by more, because we were being outplayed and taking them for granted.

Gotta come out with our hair on fire to start the second half.

 

[RUChoppin]

No excuses for him..2 bad fouls..missing point blank layups and fumbling the ball away

And only 2 rebounds.... McConnell, Mathis, and Harper each have 3.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Ya think we miss Eugene?

Last thought I had before checking the board and first post I saw lol.
