Shrewsbury is really really good. Was an assistant at Butler under Brad Stevens (‘07-‘11), at Purdue under Painter (‘11-‘13), at Celtics under Stevens (‘13-‘19) and back to Purdue under Painter (‘19-‘21). They run NBA sets and run them well.

The Scarlet Knights seek their third win in Big Ten play to match the program high set in 2014, 2017, 2020 and 2023.

The money in college football is starting to get unreal!

No one likes noon games...

CBS Sports network

For the past few Men & women games recorded on B1G+ there is no sound. There is sound for the Wagner Mens game.
Anyone else having this problem.?

So I am reading the Digital copy of the Ledger. It’s going to be so up to date! Quick timely coverage!
They have an article on Jake Paul beating Tyson. That was after midnight.

Buried in an Associated Press article, the third score! after banner headline of Purdue beating Bama and Ohio State losing to Texas A&M, is Rutgers beating Monmouth?
RU kidding me? Where’s the coverage?

It was a 6:30 game on a Friday!!
If this is the new supplemental quick electronic coverage we are going to receive, than Ledger Digital is going to go the way of print.

No excuse for lousy coverage.

We need to prioritize Bashir to get him next off season. Would love to see him as a scarlet knight. Kid is lights out! Haven’t seen shooting like that at the RAC since Douby

Like they often do for football, Rutgers offered my school district a very limited number of free tickets to tomorrow's game. I was able to get 8. Unfortunately, we got 3 pairs and 2 singles. They range from section 311 to 314.
My question is this. Do you expect a lot of no-shows upstairs? Do you think we'll be able to get at least 4 and 4 sitting together, if not all 8?
Thanks for any help.

9 assists for Derkack. Played a great open court game.

It is actually pretty great news that all 4 of our recruits , Powers, Mark , Ware and Chris N. , have signed and committed. Pike continuing to up his recruiting as all these guys can play and will contribute immediately next year. So although this great year is about to unfold in spectacular fashion , and we lose ACE, Dylan , PJ , Zack , and Tyson , we have these 4 along with having back Lathan , Grant , Dortsch , JMike , Jordan , Egbole and Jeremiah making 10 solid players. Great start to the upcoming recruiting year.

1. Pike won halftime. Defense was confused and constantly out of position in the first half, struggling with SPU spreading things out, running a lot of motion and pick and roll, and getting open looks (which they mostly hit) on their way to a 42-37 halftime lead. But in the second half, Rutgers played much better defense, playing JMike, Derkack, and JWill together to guard the perimeter. Rutgers held SPU to 23 points in the second half.

2. Dylan led with 24 points on 8-17 shooting, but he didn’t really play an “A” game, taking a few bad shots and going just 1-6 from deep. But he got back to normal from the line going 7-8.

3. Another good active game from Lathan Sommerville, with 14 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 blocks. His defense still needs work, as he was out of position on several pick and rolls, but today was difficult playing all smaller quicker 5s.

4. Jordan Derkack is a do-it-all guy who is so valuable. He plays defense like McConnell-Lite, and his defensive rebounding in the second half was superb, halting SPU’s possessions to one and done on several occasions. Finished with 9 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. JD is playing himself into a 25 mpg guy.

5. JMike with another solid all around game too. He played great on ball defense and also contributed 7 points (on 3-4 shooting), 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 0 turnovers for the second straight game. And that driving layup from the corner was a huge bucket that pushed the lead to 6 points late. Only negative was 1-3 from the line.

6. Our bench scored 28 points on 11-19 from the field, and 15 rebounds. Everyone who played tonight scored. Just need to get Acuff going. Hopefully that long jumper he hit will give him confidence.

7. MAJOR negative and red flag: we only shot 3-16 from 3-pt range, after only shooting 7-23 against Wagner. That’s 10-39 overall, which is 25.6%. Hayes and Martini were 2-6 combined. They need to shoot more than 6 threes. Dylan was 1-6. It’s only two games, and we were missing Ace Bailey, but this is something to monitor and be concerned about.

8. JWill had the slipsies again tonight. I’m starting to think it’s not his sneakers but just the fact that he plays too fast going around defenders. I’ve never seen anybody slip on the floor so much.

9. We’re 2-0, which is good, but there are concerns going forward as Pike continues to figure out his rotations and as the team gets comfortable shooting from deep.

I see he is a sophomore RB at SJV. Any relation to the other Turays?

I reached out to my ticket person about the doors being locked last night. Her first reply was this:

As for the APC, I forwarded the email to my manager, but the policy has changed this year.

I then asked what she meant by policy changing and got this reply:

Last year the APC was opened to go through but the team did not want fans in the building while the players were going inside from the game.

So what they are saying to the people that pay for season tickets and parking, too bad walk all the way around the building because it may inconvenience some players. Heck, take one of your security guys and post them in that short distance between the doors and keep people moving . Please feel free to get your emails flowing to the AD office.
