Rutgers-Cleveland State Game Thread
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
Cleveland St. is really, really, really bad, shooting 28% and 0-4 from the line. Picture us under Jordan bad.
I have no clue what the board thinks about his NBA potential. Considering the last two years he has almost opted for the draft, you speak as if it is an invalid subject.
Yet hey are getting a lot of open looks. They move the ball so much better than ua they really have our defense out of position on rotation meanwhile we settle for contested shots or putbacks.
Better effort tonight against ovrrmatched team but its clear this team is going to struggle on the offensive end against better competition
Yeah I agree. They're obviously not close to being as talented but they look like a cohesive team. Maybe it's going to take some time for this team to gel together. Last year they looked cohesive right away.
Team is playing with a lot of effort tonight. But damn they are having trouble on offense. Would help to have a legit low post option. Freeman tries hard but has a limited repertoire in the paint. He's better getting put backs and rebound type points
Rutgers only gave up 2 points in the first half...all because of Mensah....or maybe Eugene did not play good team defense and just stood there. Hmmm
Doucore is oozing potential. Will be great by the time he leaves. Like our best true big in a long long time.
The announcers made a comment about scheduling "soft" OOC games and said it was a good idea as Rutgers tries to grow.
Corey and Freeman need to play more like leaders. This should be their year to dominate. So far not sure what they did over the summer.
Freeman was playing more away from the rim and not forcing that spin move so much end of last year. It's back. Corey's shot is so flat it hardly gets over the rim.
Assuming they round into better form as season progresses. We won't beat last year's numbers if they don't.
I think the 2 frosh are going to be good.

Halftime notes:
1. Sanders is killing us out there tonight. Bad decisions, poor shooting, sloppy ballhandling - has not improved at all
2. Duke showing an offensive game - nice!
3. Baker finally hits a three pointer - nice stroke. He also looks more in control than Sanders at guard, nice floor game.
4. CSU has great ball movement, and we seem a step behind on defense.

Thiam is clearly much improved.
Liking Baker at the 1 and Corey at the 2.

Strength and conditioning program did wonders for Thiam. Pins are still thin but they definitely look bigger. Even his ankles gained a something.
Rutgers up 20...where did everyone go? @soundcrib. ..it's okay to comment when the team is playing well...lol
