Rutgers vs Eastern Michigan / Game Thread

[Newbrunfus]

Harper has such great instincts. Kid is gonna be a stud with some seasoning.

High basketball I Q is such a valuable intangible that’s why I always liked coaches kids and Harper has the skills to go with the I Q so he should have a great career on the banks.

It really could be 34-3. We've blown layups, traveled with easy dunk opportunities, etc

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Clean up these numorous turnovrrs

Will burn you in conference

No focus!!

Need to learn killer instinct, too sloppy

 

[RU_fan435]

Geo looks sloppy with the ball

That comes with experience. This is still a young team.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Yeah we’re winning this game because of suffocating defense. Offense needs to clean up sloppiness.

 

[bac2therac]

Tough to keep the intensity up with a score like this. I won't quibble about the turnovers and stalling offense as long as our D keeps it up. EMU is the exact opposite of what SJU did but this time they are missing everything

Thought Eugene tried to do too much early and now sitting again with 2 fouls

 

[Newbrunfus]

Kiss looks
Like a poor
Mans Rick Dadika hopefully he will continue to improve and be more like Dadika over time.

 

[RU848789]

Like Doucoure getting some time. Doing ok rebounding and on D, so far.

 

[DHajekRC84]

There is still a looseness and sloppiness I don't like.

 

[Rusty_Screw_88]

When you are sloppy and still winning, it can be forgiven. Teachable moments are important. Look at what the SJU game did for defense....

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Needed this whoop to help with the SJU / Ash malaise

 

[Jim_from_RU]

EMU getting destroyed.

 

[RU848789]

NCAA record is 5 for least points in a half...

 

[Newbrunfus]

Wow finally seeing a team that shoots foul shots worse then us.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

We have a chance to hold EMU to an NCAA record low for a half.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

1st half pt record. Wow

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Yo! Awesome job by RU!

 

[bac2therac]

Is this some kind of record. ..at least for modern day Rutgers

 

[RU848789]

31-4. And we have a few people complaining. Stupefying.

 

[Caliknight]

This is the response we were looking for.

4 points, new NCAA record for least allowed.

 

[RUich]

Wow, lowest ever points for a half in NCAA history.

 

[Newbrunfus]

31-4. And we have a few people complaining. Stupefying.

It wouldn’t be a Rutgers message board if that’s weren’t the case lol.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Done. We broke the record for points given up in the 1st half!

 

[RutgersLifeR]

Kudos to this team for their performance on D. Unreal performance!!!

 

[ScarletteK80]

Holy friggin crap.........I must be fast asleep and having a good dream. RECORD!!!!!!!!

 

[RU848789]

Make that 4 - we're now in the record books. Pretty freakin' cool - suffocating defense by RU - really, really impressive. And they missed some open looks, but most were strongly contested.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

We made history....in a good way!

 

[gef21]

This thread was way more negative than I expected. Haha

 

[bac2therac]

I just knew Pike would have this teams attention after the SJU beatdown

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Kiss needs to focus, he has a lot of open looks

Great team hustle and defense

 

[Rusty_Screw_88]

Damn, that is the way to come back. EMU is not a top 100 team, but give Pike & staff credit for turning the effort around 180 degrees.

 

[RULoyal]

Also helps that their foul shooting appears worse than ours.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

It's not negative

Smart points made, clean up the turnovers, they will kill RU in conference games

No. Illinois had 4 also...its a tie

 

[RU82]

Amazing. EM couldn’t buy a bucket to save their lives. Reminded me of us last year. Lol

But seriously, I thought this team was supposed to be decent. Sure didn’t live up to that in the first half. Most inept offensive half of basketball ever.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Typical Rutgers will probably regress and give up 10 points in the second half.

 

[RUDead]

Even the missed layups look better than last year :smiley:

Rutgers record for first half...No ill apparently was 2nd half in 2013
