He fouls alot. We better get used to it. More often than not he’ll get 2 in the 1st half
Horrible first half. Defense is lacking . Got to knock down some shot. Geo not looking good early
There is zero quickness anywhere on this roster.

2 huge concerns of mine coming into the year. What guard of ours can play defense at a big ten levels on other teams PG? The 5. We miss JY and Myles biggggg time
The good news is that Agee and Reiber might be able to eat up some minutes since I expect Cliff to be in foul trouble often. Agee not looking too good, however.
Cliff 2 fouls predictable. Went thru it with Myles all last year, but now no Cliff to back up 🤦♂️
Jones seemed to have some when he was in there
Cliff foul trouble and lack of quickness were my two biggest concerns. We lost our two quickest players and our best defensive big man. Still think this team might be better off playing some zone with their length and lack of speed, but if they don’t practice it , forget it.
Think we’re being over critical of the defense. There were quite a few turnovers forced and they just held a team to only 36 points despite like 60+% shooting. Rutgers problem right now is the lack of shots falling.
Well the good news is we are 2-0 with wins over Nova and Uconn
We should be good this next half, we're now shooting at the rim where the ball goes in.
Ok, give us all your positive we look f in great stuff..well wait.
Nobody is doing anything but calling out the short fall so far.
You should have had some White Castle instead.
Unless you have any idea how to estimate probability.
I just don't see the offense looking like they said it would look.. little team offense.. little motion (purposeful motion) without the ball. 36% from the floor. Ouch.
Cliff starting could be troublesome. Teams will target him for fouls right off the jump. We used to occasionally hide Myles on the bench until the game started and sub him late so the opposing coach couldn't design plays in a huddle to target him. But now if we hide Cliff.. who starts?

Great 1st half by our guys! We are giving Lehigh all they can handle, they barely kept the lead going into the half.
How can you possibly determine this when 2 of these guys have combined for 10 minutes in a Rutgers uniform entering tonight?
It's just the first half and I expect them to pull it out but that's hardly an impressive start.
This team isn’t good. There isn’t a single plus player on defense
