First thing I noticed when I saw his pic yesterday was how he’s still rail thin. I figured he’d have bulked up. Wonder what the plan was vis a vis his weight here
The box score linked to this board is showing 17 OReb for RU and only 14 OReb for Nebraska.I think *how* you play bad defense factors into how it feels.
They only shot 45% against us so we did see them missing a fair bit and their EFG% of 52.4 is a bit high but not egregious. However,
we forced very few turnovers (7)
we gave up a huge number of ORebs (19 on 34 missed shots)
To the extend that DREB is a separate thing from defense really it was the DREB that was so atrocious
Road opportunities are littered all over the schedule. Maryland, Northwestern, Washington are road games that if you want to steal into the win column, would help the metrics. Those 3 games mixed with a Nebraska road win, could help offset the Harper absence at Indiana and not close to 100% vs Wisconsin and Purdue.@ Mich, @Oregon and @ Purdue are the 3 we’d all say are most certain losses, but a win at any of those will really push the needle
What world do you live in. Rutgers didn’t require the vaccine for its students into 2023.
He's not nothing but yes over his head. He should definitely drop down a bit. Shame he also just lost another year. But..he's getting paid so there's that.As someone who usually does not feel sorry for transfers, I also feel bad for this kid. Was such a hyped recruit, ended up coming to RU because of his Dad's connections with Pike and leaves unexpectedly. Probably got sold a bill of goods by Nebraska and now rides the Pine and will end up transferring again.
Gotta be tough to have that much hype and amount to nothing.
Thank you for your service
Did u not see Ace take like 6 steps w/o a walk call?? He got the Lebron treatment and we were spared a crucial turnoverWell, we still don't box out ... and we might as well shoot FTs blindfolded ...
but the refs screwed us and we still had more points than they did.
The most Rutgers thing ever would be turning this season around, going 8-4 and then playing Minnesota last game in a must win game and losing that game……I have seen that movie before. In all honesty, I might take that scenario as we would at least be watching meaningful basketball the rest of the way.Also Minnesota up to 120 is huge. Now i expect them to likely slide a bit again but them being a Q3 game as opposed to Q4 is a big factor. Have to make sure that q123 mark is above 500. All our games left will be. 4-8 plus 9-4 gets us to 13-12 before any big 10 tournament game. Yes there are exceptions but you want to be 500 or above when all is said and done
Mauricio is currently a doubt to start the year healthy so don't think so.I don't think Alonso's issue is the money as much as the years
I'm sure if we offered like 4 / 100 or 110 he'd do it
Stearns wants to move on from him so that Vientos and Mauricio can both start on the regular.
