Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Basketball vs. Howard

[robjknight]

Not Hyatt’s best game

 

[dudehimself3]

Hyatt has been poor on both ends

 

[bac2therac]

Oskar!

Hyatt has been poor on both ends

Frustrating player

 

[FrankZ]

Need Oskar and GG making FTs

 

[bac2therac]

Very disappointing

Pissed away a 12 point lead....36-31

Too streaky for my taste

 

[FrankZ]

Lulled back to 5 🤦‍♂️

 

[dudehimself3]

Terrible close to the half again. Oskar is such a liability on defense

 

[greenknight]

Frustrating player

SOFT

 

[bac2therac]

Needed 3 there

DEREK big tonight with 13

 

[knight82]

Simpson looking good tonight

 

[fatsam98]

Alright Derek.

 

[RUTrack94]

Wow!!!! Did we hit a 3 at the buzzer? Awesome!!!!!!

 

[djrc89]

Wasn’t the play I was looking for but it worked. That was the Geo

 

[FrankZ]

Thankfully that 3 dropped to salve another annoying 1st half end

 

[fatsam98]

If we could just cut out the same stupid shit that seems to happen over and over and over with certain players we'd be pretty good

 

[tfio]

END OF HALF EXECUTION. HALLELUJAH

like Hyatt? His mistakes drive you nuts

 

[bac2therac]

Because everyone is so inconsistent its tough for Pike to nail down a rotation

 

[mildone]

Team's playing down to the level of the competition. Never good, but also not uncommon. I trust Pike to get in their head's at halftime. Probably see more energy from the players in the second half.

 

[fatsam98]

Yea.

And Cliff --- secure the offensive board first before you go back up, or pass it out. How many times do we see him grab one and immediately lose it or fumble it away. It drives me crazy

 

[FrankZ]

This takes me back to a halftime game I played in during elementary school at RAC. Think it was a Nets game

 

[FrankZ]

Buries the breakaway 👏

 

[knight82]

or bring it down to the floor and have a guard on the other team bat it away

 

[FrankZ]

25 uses glass like I wish we would. Hopefully taking notes…

 

[zebnatto]

Terrific, half for Derek. This team, though, may drive me nuts!

 

[FrankZ]

Could have used a few more minutes of the kids game, just sayin’…

 

[FrankZ]

Should blow 19 career high out of the water…I hope

 

[ScottRU93]

I cannot watch. Can people explain to me why Gavin is barely playing and scoring so few points.

We’re up 8. Would we really be all that disappointed with a 16 point win?

I’ll tell you for $9.

 

[mildone]

WTF? Watching the warmups is kind of informative. Handful of guys I used to play pickup ball with would regularly shoot 9 or 10 for 10 from the 3 point line when unmarked. Presumably, a bunch of you have seen (or can do) the same thing if you play(ed).

The team, warming up for the second half just now, is missing like 50% during the warmups. 🙂

 

[fatsam98]

Wolf!

 

[FrankZ]

Wolf back on prowl

 

[fatsam98]

$9.95*

 

[FrankZ]

Simpson in the zone. Looks great

 

[fatsam98]

A lot of flashes from pretty much everyone in this game

 

[ScottRU93]

Actually have BTN+ but at an event so cant watch. Thanks though

For me, it's not so much about the score, but about focus and energy. I like seeing total focus and high energy anytime players step onto the court (or the field). Maybe it's the coach in me. Plus, over the years, it seems like when a team isn't fully engaged, fully focused, is when lots of injuries occur.

 

[FrankZ]

One of those nauseating Hyatt games. Oy
