RU vs FDU Game Thread

[theRU]

I suggest you to straight to Hobbs and demand Rutgers give back the wins.

i dont get posts like yours. I ask a legitimate question from the perspective of someone who really doesn't care much for CBB.

82-69. Nice win. 10-1. Love it.

It's a soft schedule, but this is the first season I can remember that we haven't suffered a horrendous WTF loss to a low rated Sagarin team.

We also used to suffer WTF wins. Barely winning a game we should have easily won, while looking inept. This team is well coached for sure.

Johnson needs to practice free throws

"Johnson" the whole team should be on the foul line before, during, and after practice. They are pathetic! Many here will think I'm crazy, that 49% from the free throw line is not great, but not bad. And, I'm here to tell you that at this level, that % is lousy, and it's a trend this season. Yes, one game they made the last 10 free throws to ice the game, but they have to be that consistent every game. All free throws are, is concentration. It has to be stressed. I'm sure the coaches are aware, but with the better competition, it will be important just to score.

Sanders didn't play in the last 6-7 minutes. Interesting.

He was sick, according to coach Pike.

I would rather shoot poorly and win than the alternative. Yes we need to step it up in league play but for now I will have a drink of 10 and 1. .

KnightsofChrome - I wouldn't say it's a trend. There are a fair amount of games where we shot Free throws from the high 60s-mid 70s range. Like for example, against Stony Brook and Morgan State.

There have also been games where we have been horrific at the line - this one and CCSU come to mind.

Sarcasm. It's been so long since Rutgers experience winning. Just enjoy without looking for something negative/bad to happen.

Please no nude free throws

I know Doug, but not a bad idea. If they can go out and make a free throw while in the Buff(pun intended), they can probably make them in a game with the uniform.

Does anyone know what we projected to win this game by in Kenpom? Always curious to see stuff like that

I thought prior to this game is had Rutgers at 15-15.

Johnson in his first start has 5 rebounds, 7 assists. Maybe he ought to switch spots with Corey. Laurent played 10 minutes and took two unsuccessful shots. Starting Johnson may be permanent.

Carino reported that he had strep and was hospitalized last night. Probably trying to reduce minutes.

A lot of students are sick right now and they are taking exams and working on papers, so no surprise the basketball teams are the same. They don't take care of themselves. This as a mother and an administrator at Rutgers that is forever admonishing them. I can see the team coming down with the same thing.
