Scarlet Knights-Blue Demons Game Thread

I'd rather our "wtf" be this instead of losing to a bad team as we have done in the past.

Some people love negatives....if not the team or coach, why not criticize the announcers....lol . Fox is the Big East Network, that's what they are supposed to do., talk up their conference schools.

Sure, we wanted to hold on for the 20 point win, but in a way, I think this works out in our favor as we won't get complacent and the coaches will have the players' attention.

Nigel has got to hit his FTs.
Otherwise we sub Gettys in for Nigel at end of games.
Haha!

I just stated in another thread: Pikes won't be happy with the end of the game and, in the long run, that'll be a good thing!

Agreed. This will ensure that the team continues to work hard

 

[nirrad]

Good game. Have to make open shots. Too many traveling calls

Yep......coach up the negatives, reinforce the positives. This is why you have OCC games.

Johnson can't shoot free throws. he throws the ball at the rim without much focus. take a breath there # 0. Bend the knees.

I want Mike Williams with the ball end game. Kid has earned it. He has the FOCUS that the rest need to finish.

Johnson is now 15-24 from the stripe (62.5%). He was just north of 67% his two years at KState.

Its always great to win...3-0

First 3-0 start since FHJ's 2nd year (2007-08)

FHJ started 3-0 in 2008-09, too.

Yup. Just saw that!

 

[RUChoppin]

Last time we started better than 3-0 was 2000-01, when we started 5-0 before dropping the next two.

Last time we started better than 5-0 was 1975-76.

Remember FHJ's offense?

Swing ball around, feed post.

Kick back out; swing ball around perimeter again.

When the shot clock is 8, spread the floor and give to Rosario.

Rosario chuck a three or fake the three and dribble penetrate into 3 people and turn the ball over.

It was a pleasure to see us rebound and shoot FTs so well other than Johnson struggling feom the line late. At least he got that one to push the lead back to 7. No such thing as a bad road win for our program at this point. Great job, team and coaches!

 

[4theknights]

Solid road win for us.. a little dicey at the end,sometimes playing the clock hurts the flow. Pikiell working hard with this team on rebounding and D. These areas will keep us in games as it's the great equalizer when we face tougher foes. The important theme here is the team has bought in and following the coaches vision. You can see it with hustle alone. Growing pains, yes , but this team is fun to watch.

 

[MADHAT1]

Great to win and looks like RU MBB might just have a good future with Pikeill as its HC.

 

[daneman100]

FHJ started 3-0 in 2008-09, too.

I do not remember a FHJ team rebounding that well.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

We worry about teams playing zone against us. If we continue to offensive rebound like we have it eliminates it as an option for our opponents.

I watch games just waiting/assuming bad things will happen for RU. Towards the end of the 1st half I started to feel we couldn't lose because of the way we owned them on the boards. Certainly this something I have never felt as a RU fan.
