Final score 59-47 RU. No basket in last three and a half minutes? What happened on court?

 

[RUonBrain]

Got the win by 12

Sagarin had Siena at 204; Massey had Siena at 189. Where was the RU offense?

seemed like they put the game away early and then just mailed it in the 2nd half against a weak opponent. Ill give them a pass because they just played Thursday night and another quick turnaround for Virginia

Where was the RU offense?

Sitting on the bench for most of the second half, pretty sure Tyler played less then 3 minutes in the second half, 3 games in 5 days no need to play the starters a lot of minutes when the game was never in doubt. Tyler scored 18 points in 18 minutes.

Was at the game and there were a lot of subs. Seemed like they were trying a lot of different combination of players.

This is exactly what happened. They extended to a 19 point lead midway through 3rd quarter and the starting 5 sat the rest of the way. Virginia is Monday night.

Thanks everyone who reponded. I hoped it was about spreading the minutes around and giving Tyler some rest. I finally saw the boxscore, and it looks like the relatively poor shooting contributed to the low point total for RU. Maybe a few players stayed in to get their shots going, but it just did not happen. I am not a fan of blow-outs (generally), but I think the team should score consistently in the upper 60s or higher. Go RU!

I was there with my Granddaughter 14, and she’s just been with me a week. We did Men’s B.B. Friday night, Football on Saturday and the Women’s BBALL today. Got a pic of her with Scarlet Knight, nice poster which all the players signed. She loved it. Very classy Ladies there! Thank you Brian for the tickets...

Let them beat Virginia to be 3-0 vs. ACC teams.

I had a brief chat with CVS after the game, and she talked about giving some players extra minutes. It will be interesting to see whether she addressed this in the post-game. She also mentioned the crazy schedule this month, with so many games. They played a tough game on Thursday night, so they didn't have much time to prep for this one (especially with UVa looming on Monday night).

UVa has a comparable schedule, and even tougher; they played 6 pm tonight and then have to travel
