Game Thread: RU M BB vs Fordham, 7pm RAC, ESPNU, story:

[Abro1975]

'It will be "Finals Stress Busters Night" for Rutgers students, with dog petting and massages available to those students attending. A Caribbean Fusion dance performance will take place at halftime.'

Not sure if Digger Phelps is still coaching the Fordham Rams

'RU leads the nation in rebounding (45.73) and offensive rebounding (16.0), while placing third among all D-I programs in both scoring defense (57.3) and total rebounds (503). The Scarlet Knights are first or second in the Big Ten in seven stat categories'

Will they highlight it when Sanders hits 1000?

 

[NJDOVES]

Will they highlight it when Sanders hits 1000?

I would certainly hope so!

 

[MikeR0102]

They just showed the mountain climber thing from The Price is Right on ESPNU

Female commentator just said she believes Geo will be an NBA player. At first I thought she must not watch Geo play much then after thinking about it some more, I thought why not? Kid can play and will only get better. It’s just so hard to make it to the league as a guard today but after his game against Michigan State, I think people took notice. Keep it up Geo!

 

[RUChow]

I would certainly hope so!

Is Williams close enough to hit 1,000 tonight?

 

[SJScarlet]

Is Williams close enough to hit 1,000 tonight?

Not really, needs 21. Goal would be to score enough to make it realistic vs SHU

Needs 21

It’s very early but she’s not off-base.

 

[RUChow]

Seven minutes in - how many bad passes are we going to make?

 

[bac2therac]

Fordham is terrible. Rutgers pretty flat thus far...13-7

 

[FrankZ]

Seven minutes in - how many bad passes are we going to make?

5 TOs. Feels like 50

 

[RUeric]

Sloppy start. Souf was yanked from the game after one possession.

 

[BillyC80]

The male announcer is calling us Rawtgers. Annoying my eardrums.

At game why isn’t Duocore playing?

 

[FrankZ]

Candido Sa sighting

 

[BillyC80]

They didn't give a reason for Doucore coming out. He did start though.

 

[FrankZ]

2 fouls on Freeman. Sniff

 

[richthedentist]

2 fouls on Freeman. Sniff

Thanks got here a few minutes late

 

[Caliknight]

Sloppy start. Souf was yanked from the game after one possession.

But what a possession it was! Head down drive to 6 full pull up air ball.

 

[FrankZ]

Officially can’t hear the crowd on espnu. Looks paltry, but still.

 

[FrankZ]

Sa!

 

[MV9000]

Sa mid range silky when left open

 

[BillyC80]

Wow, nice outside stroke by Sa.

 

[bac2therac]

Not a pretty performance. .way too many senseless turnovers and stupid fouls

 

[FrankZ]

Not our best effort. Tally another W please.

 

[Caliknight]

Number 12 on Fordham looks like the dudes I play against at my gym.

 

[RU Mike73]

Sloppy play all around. Need to wake up and take control. Should be easy W.

 

[BillyC80]

We definitely lose focus and play too loosey goosey when we play lesser teams. We should be up by 15 already.

 

[G- RUnit]

Ugly shooting layups. Ugh.

 

[RUeric]

Not playing well at all. Saved by the fact that Fordham is an all or nothing 3 point team.

Freeman is having a much better performance tonight except the fouls. Both were silly reach ins.

 

[FrankZ]

Up 4. Sigh

 

[FrankZ]

Freeman only hope.

 

[BillyC80]

Sweet alley oop!

 

[hbbsm713]

What an ugly game

 

[BillyC80]

Mamadou's shot is off tonight.

 

[Abro1975]

Other than Freeman, team looks kind of disinterested.

 

[FrankZ]

Is Candido back?

 

[FastMJ]

Sa looking better at the line

 

[BillyC80]

Sa makes two from the line!
