Basketball PREVIEW/LIVE THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Notre Dame

[bac2therac]

Doesn't look good

 

[biazza38]

Terrible job on D.
Just awful.
Iowa and ND (our 2 tournament games) we’ve come up small

 

[IL Lusciato]

Blew it. But weird game overall. Fighting leprechauns will lose Friday.

 

[Queztastic]

Need to find that defensive heart

 

[LETSGORU91]

Terrible announcers

Second best quote "Loose balls"

No idea where are defense went

Down low there hasn't been much defense all game. Like the layup line during warmups.

He was wide open.

Announcer: "There's a reason some shooters (Hyatt) are left wide open.

So annoying that we are going to lose this game.

Plenty of time. Chillax.

Pike is blowing this freakin game

Worst RU coach ever. Where's Pitino?

 

[RUby RED]

Phantom call. **** that

 

[#1 RUFan]

Boy do we look slow on defense. Paul is reverting back to his old ways. Too much dribbling and bad passes.

 

[RUOtBOtOR]

Good night folks. See you next season.

 

[Rokodesh]

Good night we just suck on defense

We suck at basketball

 

[koko2315]

Defense is brutal

 

[RutHut_rivals]

Go to a zone.

 

[MS-RU]

Horrendous D and terrible decision making is the difference

 

[JoeRU0304]

...it looks like we're playing with the energy and passion of one of those early November games right now.

Joe P.

 

[RedTeamUpstream94]

thoroughly out played and out coached all game

frankly its a miracle its close,

no urgency. lazy D. sloppy O.

 

[JudgeSmails56]

Game over

 

[rucoe89]

Best team ever is great when comparing them to Eddie Jordan teams, but not when compared to the field as a whole.

 

[anon1753890747]

That Geo pass killed us
Have to change my now or it’s over
Caleb having to play so hard on O
Is beginning to wear on us

 

[RU Mike73]

Value the ball. Can’t have back to back turnovers.

 

[jordkap]

Geo and Ron need to take over here or we are screwed

 

[Degaz-RU]

Game is slipping away.

For the third time, why aren’t we playing zone to stop the relentless dribble penetration?!?!?

 

[RUfubar_rivals]

How could a defense first team like us becoming so unglued.

 

[RUz91]

Good night folks. See you next season.

don't be a pvssy, there's 8 mins left

 

[Jtung230]

Sit Paul

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

It seems like this was just a weird mismatch. Cliff absolutely schooled on defense. We really don’t have an answer to stop them in the post.

 

[JudgeSmails56]

Next year will be brutal

 

[QD43]

Good night folks. See you next season.

Soft

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Defense just never showed up, no bench, etc

 

[kennyschiano]

Brey putting on a coaching clinic and ND’s 4 stars are quicker and better shooters.

 

[rucoe89]

Pikiell’s substitutions are horrible. You gave the momentum back to them. Wtf is Pike doing

His normal coaching. Best team ever.

 

[RUsojo]

Guards are having some challenges guarding the perimeter

 

[SBP]

No offense. ********. Sick of it.

 

[RW90]

Not looking like a veteran team now.

 

[cyrock3]

Looking like it is starting to run away from us. 6 minutes left to go though.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Brey beat Pike at halftime. Need to grind hard now.

 

[dvb91]

The Mulcahy pick & roll action has been snuffed out. Need figure out something else. RHJ ISO is also a bit of a liability, unless others are willing to take 3's.

 

[rufeelinit]

Our inability to defend tonight is appalling. I expected a better effort with some adjustments at the half. We are getting killed off the dribble.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

We should press the rest of the game. It’s our best chance.

 

[gregkoko]

Good night folks. See you next season.

Cool later. Don't come back

 

[RUJMM78]

Notre Dame killing Rutgers with dribble drives to the basket.Rutgers second half offense missing in action.

 

[BOCA93]

Zero answer for the same damn play every possession
