Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Basketball vs. Merrimack

[Shell21]

We still haven’t run our man stuff one time. Pathetic coaching

 

[kcg88]

Rutgers used to compensate for a lack of shooting by doing most other things pretty well: Solid defensive principles, boxing out, etc.

I miss those days.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Is Jones hurt? I don’t get this

 

[FrankZ]

Recruit someone who can shoot please. Like yesterday.

 

[Mr Magoo]

At least he went with Reiber over Agee.

 

[miketd1]

Mighty Merrimack giving us everything we can handle...

 

[AshCatchEm]

Heard pikiell threw some basketballs at their heads at the half

 

[jerzeyguy]

I'll say it again. It's so many guys scholarships being taking up that can't contribute. Recruiting has been horrible

 

[Mr Magoo]

I would love to get a kid like Minor

 

[RULoyal]

We seem slow, we don’t box out consistently and stand around too much. We don’t appear to do much well at this point in the season.

 

[bac2therac]

So many empty trips

 

[NickKnight 1]

Can someone give the score every once in awhile

 

[Joey Bags]

Well the good news is we can't get worse than this lol. Get the slump out early I guess.

 

[bac2therac]

Merrimack vis awful

 

[FrankZ]

Merrimack just more effort, and we stink on offense

 

[miketd1]

This is crazy.

We have an obvious height and athleticism advantage and can't work a zone at all.

Please, the GameCast on ESPN doesn't update often.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

What ugly, ugly, ugly ball

 

[wheezer]

What’s the score and time?

 

[FrankZ]

Back to abysmal FTs. Hat throw

 

[zebnatto]

Please, the GameCast on ESPN doesn't update often.

Tied.

 

[RUTrack94]

8/39 for the field … I could go to a park today and play my first pickup game in 20+ years and shoot better than that

 

[miketd1]

tied 29. 9 in the 2nd to go

 

[bac2therac]

Merrimack has 6 points in 11 minutes and its still tied

 

[jordkap]

First to 40 wins

 

[Shell21]

I don’t understand how we can’t finish over guys less athletic and with less size than us

 

[mikebal9]

Being guarded by D1 athletes? No you couldn't.

 

[FrankZ]

We have 29 pts against Merrimack 🤦‍♂️

 

[Mr Magoo]

Merrimack vis awful

Agree. Lehigh was much better

 

[RUChoppin]

First to 40 wins

And if neither team hits 40?

 

[miketd1]

As good as I feel about the football team, I feel the exact opposite about MBB at the moment

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

LOL.

1) we definitely dont miss JY
2) I play pickup in the summer with Jensen. He doesnt completely dominate. We are bad

 

[Joey Bags]

This is hilarious lol. This is the worst offensive basketball I've ever seen by two teams playing each other.

 

[FrankZ]

Nice Ron.

 

[miketd1]

Our ball movement and spacing against the zone is so bad that it literally looks like they are playing against six defenders.

 

[Joey Bags]

POINTS!

 

[Shell21]

No cutters vs the matchup. Just passing the ball around the perimeter. No adjustments since the first possession of the game. What is this coaching staff doing?

 

[jordkap]

And if neither team hits 40?

First to 39 wins

 

[mikebal9]

LOL.

1) we definitely dont miss JY
2) I play pickup in the summer with Jensen. He doesnt completely dominate. We are bad

What's your point? He's not dominating here either. He's 2-8/0-5.

 

[FrankZ]

4 to 13 TOs 🤦‍♂️
