Rutgers vs UMass / Game Thread

[Joey Bags]

lol these teams we play rack up threes so quick

 

[MLBash93]

Can we stop leaving guys wide open for 3, I mean they scored the last 12 points on 4 wide open threes.

 

[NYSportsFan]

Can someone legit explain why pikell stopped with the 2-3 zone after it worked for a few possession straight? It’s like “is that working? Let’s switch it up…” haha.

 

[RUJMM78]

UMASS almost every shot is a 3 pointer and they are on a hot streak..Score Rutgers still leads 36-27.

 

[bac2therac]

7 of umass 10 fgs are treys

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

Leave McConnell starting PT guard, 5 steals, 5 Assists, 3 rebounds, 2 pts.

 

[bac2therac]

Shooting themselves in the foot trying to do too much

 

[MV9000]

Defense sucks. Mag looking good

 

[bac2therac]

Lets close the half up still double gigits

 

[NYSportsFan]

Anyone else yelling for MCCONNELL TO SLOWWWWWW DOWNNNNNN!!! I swear man. He. Ooof. Carry on haha

 

[PatrickRU92]

lol these teams we play rack up threes so quick

thats college basketball. 3s are not optional

 

[mikeyoc]

They chuck 3s. They don't really play basketball

 

[kt124]

good to see cliff is dominating

 

[MV9000]

Cliff looking scary good. Keep the starting lineup. Add more zone looks and bring Geo bf Hyatt off the bench.

 

[Joey Bags]

JFC with that final possession. every freaking time

PM should have kicked out to Harper for a wide open 3.

 

[Shell21]

Gotta get out on three shooters , too many open looks. By the way what is Paul doing on that lash possession. ?

 

[zebnatto]

Say what you will, Paul must take the wide open 3s from top of key.

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers better go back to a zone defense.46-33 half time lead.Good balanced scoring,

 

[bac2therac]

Excellent half..umass hitting a ridiculous amount of 3s..8 to just 4 two pointers but we are leaving them wide open

They have no answer for Cliff

Everyone is on the same page today..interesting

 

[kt124]

looking good in a game we need to have. can only afford to lose one more OOC game and it can only be seton hall or clemson

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Cliff looking scary good. Keep the starting lineup. Add more zone looks and bring Geo bf Hyatt off the bench.

No way Baker coming off bench dude. Forget it.

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

I said before the season started that Geo slows this team down at PG, too much Corey, and should be a 2 guard only.

 

[MV9000]

No way Baker coming off bench dude. Forget it.

Agreed but him and whatever combo we start just hold ball. No one moves without the ball. I know it’s a pipe dream haha

 

[MLBash93]

This is probably over reacting to one game, but I wouldn't mind seeing Geo as the 6th man, kinda like when he came back from injury last year. Would take a lot of pride to do that but could maybe help get this team where it needs to be

 

[rob kight]

We actually made some fast breaks today

 

[Shell21]

No matter who is running the point and has the ball a lot of the time; you can’t hold the ball. We don’t have the one on one players to do that and it lets the defense catch up instead of rotating

 

[Shell21]

We actually made some fast breaks today

Yep, looks like a concerted effort to push the ball more which we should have been doing all year

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

No way alien draft seal works. I’d rather watch the guy getting hurt with the razor in his nose or ear

 

[knight82]

When Geo gets back, Pike has to tell him if you hold the ball, you'll be taken out

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Excellent half..umass hitting a ridiculous amount of 3s..8 to just 4 two pointers but we are leaving them wide open

We are doing a dreadful job guarding 3. Open looks all day. That is only thing we are doing bad.

 

[MLBash93]

Agree, if we clean that up and play the same way this is no contest in half 2, if we don't and start to revert to old ways it will come down to the wire.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

When Geo gets back, Pike has to tell him if you hold the ball, you'll be taken out

Or move of the ball like Mag and get an easy basket without the ball in your hands

 

[Knightmoves]

Is this team better with Geo on the bench? Asking for a friend.

 

[bac2therac]

10 threes

 

[Woody522]

Why can't we guard any one at the 3 point line

 

[NYSportsFan]

I look forward to caleb’s graduation. I thank him for his time here with passes like that. That’s at least 3 times so far.

 

[bac2therac]

Not sure why we keep forcing bad passes on offense

The umass defense is really bad..we can get what we want

 

[MV9000]

Can’t guard a 3 lol

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers defense has no answers to stop the barrage of 3 pointers.

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

McConnell at the top of the defense and offense is a revelation for this year, 8 assists, 6 steals, 5 rebounds
