Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Basketball vs. Merrimack

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

RU 38- Indy 3. Thank you football

 

[AshCatchEm]

Honestly the dumbest thing he could've done. If he tempered expectations and we looked like crap this badly at least we'd be thinking, okay, fine, it's a rebuilding year.

I've heard him say it's his best team ever on multiple occasions

 

[kcg88]

Brandin Knight has to be praying that Pitt fires Capel ASAP because if they wait until the end of the season he's not going to be a candidate after Rutgers goes 5-15 in the conference.

 

[kcg88]

That's what we get coming out of the half?

FFS

 

[ClassOf02]

Same starting 5….

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

we're a terrible ballhandling team

 

[mikeyo]

I agree with you if it was a match up. But I thought they were just going fro. a 2-3 to a 3-2..in which case you can collapse the zone and beat it from the corners. We have no one in the corners….not that we could shoot for there anyway. The switching zones is confusing the hell out of us. We are way being outcoached

We are not being outcoached. Any outfit will play a zone
against us and dare us to shoot

 

[ScarletNYC]

Terps down 4 at the half to Vermont. 36-32. At least they doubled our offensive output.

Vermont is actually a good team.

 

[ClassOf02]

Vermont is actually a good team.

Not suggesting they aren’t. Just an observation.

 

[bac2therac]

Amazing what happens when u use effort

 

[FrankZ]

Back to FT bricks

a good matchup zone looks like a zone and it’s obviously confusing us

 

[RUTrack94]

Wow … been watching football … they scored more in the first half than MBB

 

[ClassOf02]

Ron looking lazy on the FTs.

 

[bac2therac]

Rebounding is atrocious

 

[NickKnight 1]

Is this game on the radio? Can't find it.

 

[kcg88]

Is this game on the radio? Can't find it.

Lucky

 

[ClassOf02]

Getting outworked on the boards.

By Merrimack.

 

[Shell21]

If Caleb can’t even rebound at 6’7, why is he in?

 

[RU Mike73]

RHJ WTF

 

[Shell21]

There is a reason they are giving us the mid range shots in the paint ; it’s because we can’t make them. How many guys do you think practice those 8-15 footers in the lane ?

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

So far Cliff is no Myles on the boards. We are getting crushed on glass by joke D1 teams. What happens when we play BIG10 competition?

 

[Mr Magoo]

We were totally outcoached in the first half…plus the players were terrible

 

[RUChoppin]

Is this game on the radio? Can't find it.

Nope. Maybe when the football game is over, one of the many radio options will switch over.... or maybe they'll just cover postgame recaps and interviews.

 

[kcg88]

GO RIGHT UP WITH THE BALL

 

[bac2therac]

Please ****ing get Paul out

 

[Joey Bags]

Think we'll even get to 38 points?

 

[RUTrack94]

How bad would this loss be on our all-time loss list?

 

[FrankZ]

Get PM out. Now

 

[Shell21]

Get him out now. He has no clue

 

[bac2therac]

Bailed out

 

[Shell21]

How is it possible that no one can attack out of the foul line area

 

[FrankZ]

Tied somehow

 

[zebnatto]

Been supporting Paul since he arrived, but this is his worst game

 

[bac2therac]

Midgets getting boards

 

[biazza38]

Down to 1

 

[Shell21]

Where is the blocking out??

 

[bac2therac]

Reverting back exactly to first half play

 

[mikebal9]

Am I missing something? He has 12 board so far today.

 

[RUTrack94]

RU is 8/37 from the field … wow … amazing only down 1
