Can we beat Temple without both Caleb and Paul?

Defense has to get a whole lot better. Today was not good for many stretches.
Yes. I will still take RU to win even without them. No certainty for sure, but my money still on RU to win.
Villanova a fake 16. Win be great looking win on paper for RU.
Most teams get thin in the backcourt with 2 starters out.
Tough but we would need another monster game from Cliff and Cam. I think Caleb returns though… just a hunch
Paul had the second half off and 5 full days before Friday.
At his age he will recover

We didn’t finish some boards today. Meaning we got a few poked away. Some ping ponged into easy baskets for them. Have to secure the rebound stronger.
He's not wolverine. Shoulder injuries don't heal in a few days. They hurt like hell and take time
Yeah. I’m concerned about this. When he left the game, he didn’t take much hard contact and was in complete agony, which indicates his shoulder was hanging on by a thread from the previous game. If these injuries don’t get the proper rest, time and therapy, they will linger.
Doctors wouldn’t have cleared him if his shoulder was severe, unless he further injured it?
He probably should not have returned the last game. It's not like he was needed in a 35 point win.
he warmed up to try to go back in for the second half. If it was a really serious thing they wouldn’t have had him warm up.
Hopefully Caleb is a go for Temple game.
Last year needing 28/34 from the charity stripe and shooting so bad I’m not sure we win today. I think we’ll be fine with rest.
Just so long as they aren't also the Mets trainers.
He hurt it again this game and sat the second half. Question is if it was additional damage he didn't have going into this game.
not dead on but in the ballpark. woulda been closer of cam didn’t just give them two on that last turnover
Yes, I wish you were more wrong, but we got the W, unlike last year. 😎
I love the way he plays but in hindsight probably not worth diving for loose balls in the season opener. You don’t need that possession in the first half against Columbia that bad. I’d imagine this is something he’s going to be dealing with for a while this season.
Also keep in mind this is the same Temple team that lost to Wagner on their home floor. I think we’ll be fine.

If Paul can’t play vs Temple and Caleb can , would you simply have Caleb come off the bench and have Simpson start? Or does Caleb start in lieu of Mag or Hyatt with Simpson starting? Or does Simpson still come off the bench and Caleb starts at G.
It may be one of those games where you dare them to stop Cliff and see
how that turns out
Pike said Caleb is fine. Just waiting for medical approval to play him.
He’ll be back by the next game. My concern is for Caleb ‘s return by the time we begin playing B1G opponents.
I’m sure I’ll catch a load of sh!t for this comment but with the earlier expected emergence of Simpson, we need Caleb wayyyyyy more than we need Paul. I hope Caleb is ready to come back next game. Let Paul rest and get whatever his “upper body injury” (Schiano-speak lol) is dealt with to be healthy for conference play.
Yes.
Need Hyatt to play under control, finish and share the ball.
Need Cliff to get the ball in better spots. Way too often he's getting the ball too far away from the basket. We'll probably need around 20 from him.

Yes, we're a team that made the tournament 2 years in a row, which probably should have been 3 years in a row if it was played in 2020.
That's what you mean by "We are Rutgers," right?
