Bucknell game

[RUChoppin]

My guess is we're going to look to pressure Bucknell's guards and chase them off the line, and leave Omoruyi on an island under the basket to deal with their center. Fittingly named "Screen", he seems to be a post player only, with only a single missed attempt from behind the arc all year.

Bucknell roster is two 7 footers and a 6-10 guy

They have two 7 footers, but one doesn't really play.

Their starters:
32.7 min - Rice (6-3, 16.2 pts, 2.8 rb, 4.3 ast)
29.1 min - Edmonds (6-1, 9.1 pts, 2.9 rb, 2.8 ast)
28.8 min - Timmerman (6-9, 11.2 pts, 6.7 rb)
23.4 min - Screen (7-0, 11.5 pts, 6.2 rb)
22.5 min - Motta (6-6, 7.2 pts, 2.8 rb)

Their reserves:
19.2 min - Van Der Heijden (6-9, 4.8 pts, 4.3 rb)
14.1 min - Bascoe (6-0, 3.3 pts, 2.8 rb, 2.3 ast)
12.2 min - Bijiek (6-9, 3.1 pts, 1.5 rb)
12.1 min - Adoe (6-3, 4.7 pts, 2.3 rb)

No one else has more than 44 min across their first 12 games.

If a guy threw (back in the day) 95 MPH but never made to a big league roster you could guess they couldn’t throw strikes without looking at the stats.

What's kind of amazing about that lineup, too, is that not one of those 9 rotational guys is a transfer from another program. Every one has spent his entire D1 career at Bucknell. Wonder how many teams in the country can say that.

Wake Forest had 5 guys on the roster 6'10-7'1, didn't do them any good. 😜

Student section will be empty due to break but how will the rest of the arena be with the near zero wind chill outside in Jersey and probable black ice roads?

Much needed parking/Concession and 50-50 Revenues are going to take a hit

They’ve invented this thing called salt that melts ice on roads. I haven’t slid on ice on a road in 30 years. Of course, that was on my way to a Rutgers game and the only non-deer related accident in my life.

Salt is going to be tough for this one. The rain is so heavy that it's washing off/diluting the salt on the road, the temperature is going down to single digits tonight. There will definitely be patches of ice tomorrow in places, especially anywhere where there could be puddles of standing water.

Yea I'm wondering about the conditions and turnout.

I have some tickets but everyone is bailing due to weather

Think the roads will be icy people? I live in California now so haven't driven on icy roads in yearsss. I'm a bit concerned

 

[leftoright]

gas up, wiper fluid up, Reiber will get minutes tonight.

While the Rutgers athletic department is mostly incompetent, I doubt losing a few concession dollars from a holiday game against Bucknell will affect future plans. They already knew the students would be gone and that attendance would be a bit lighter due to Christmas. I wouldn't worry about it.

Coming from Bergen County and playing it by ear. The flash freeze thing is no joke

RU -19.5 O/U 132. tempted to win, win.

Yea I'm coming from way out by the Delaware Water Gap so it's an hour or so drive

 

[Zak57]

Hopefully the rain stops shortly so they can salt the roads without any of it washing away.

Schiano went to bucknell

Yeah def but everything counts for a cash strapped Athletic Dept

At temps you will see tonight road salt alone cant be relied on to prevent icing. With black ice it only takes one bad patch or one untreated road to spin helplessly in your vehicle. Please do take care and particularly on back roads proceed with caution.

Hopefully y’all drive safely tonight if you choose to attend the game

I haven’t seen a 50-50 yet this season. If they are selling them they’re doing a great job of keeping it quiet.

PS - the frisbee dogs at the WF game were the first halftime entertainment this year as well.

 

[RUonBrain]

Are they doing the boardwalk thing?
That would be exciting!
