Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Maryland

[RutgersMO]

We got Myles two easy buckets within the first minute and never fed him down low again lol

Myles shouldn't dribble. He does this too often away from the basket and it was almost stolen once leading to an empty possession or awkward ball movement.

Take Paul out. He won't shoot. Geo needs to take charge along with Young. Harper is a shell of earlier this season....they keep talking about how talented he is is- but it hasn't shown up for almost a month.

Geo needs to play the entire 20 minutes

Myles 18 minutes

 

[Caliknight]

Wow you would think we were down 20. You guys need to stop being so emotional. The offense! The subs! Ron sucks! Cliff sucks! Geo sucks! Mathis missed a layup! JY another turnover! You guys sound like little girls who just had their lemonade stand shut down.

20 points in a half bro. 20 points.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

2 made fgs in last 12:20

6 points total in last 12:20

first 9 possessions

myles touched the ball on 5 possessions ..we made 5 baskets

Myles didnt touch the ball in the other four possessions...zero baskets

we then went on to score 3 baskets in 15 minutes ...and how many times did Myles touch it in the last 15?

hmmmm....

 

[bmtRUgrad]

Myles shouldn’t come out unless he gets his 5th foul. Same with Geo

 

[mikeyo]

Paul, Ron, MM, Caleb, and Cliff all played poorly. Myles and Geo played well and JY played decently. We need better.

I hate to say this, but so far it looks like Cliff has hands of stone

 

[Caliknight]

Pikiell isn't out on the court missing shots.Rutgers wins games with grind out efforts.The usual scoring drought has lasted too long.

But he is in charge of recruiting the kids on the court shooting.

Should be down 20 MD has been just as shitty. Play any of the top 5 orc6 in B1G wed be down 20 plus and the game would be over

 

[RUDead]

Im just now getting a chance to sit down and watch. Please tell me im not about to see - selfish offensive basketball. Everyone lookin for their own shot makes our O frustrating to watch

No need to worry, you won't see any offense.

 

[RU848789]

We also didn't play great defense - wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great. Too many offensive rebounds and they're almost shooting 50%. We can do better and we need to get some points off of TOs since we're certainly not getting them in our half court offense. Let's do some pressing.

 

[RUJMM78]

Geo needs to play the entire 20 minutes

Myles 18 minutes

Young needs to start the second half instead of Mulcahy.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

And his passing is off today - wonder if it's the mask...

Fair question--he is useless out there. He shouldn't be taking minutes from anyone right now.

 

[Rutgers1010]

I’m convinced you guys just say anything now

 

[ClassOf02]

Young needs to start the second half.instead of Mulcahy.

I’ll be you $1000 that will NOT happen.

 

[Shell21]

Geo needs to play the entire 20 minutes

Myles 18 minutes

Yep, no messing around . Shorten the rotation . I don’t need to see Cliff and Tez this half , and if Paul turns it over get him out he’s useless . I’d go jy 16 minutes plus too and rotate that last spot

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Didn't we go with the "Twin Towers" lineup the first Maryland game? Given their lack of a big man and our lack of anything offensively, why not give it a shot again?

Yeah, because Omoruyi has been just so productive that we need him on the floor even more. Can’t wait for that “rim protector” to show up. A rebound would be nice.

Because Cliff cannot do anything well

 

[bac2therac]

8 turnovers too many for us

 

[ClassOf02]

I’m convinced you guys just say anything now

I’m convinced you’re just a troll.

 

[fluoxetine]

2-11 thus far..getting close to our mean..shoot more

What is your alternative strategy lol?

 

[rucoe89]

Stop with this. We are running an offense. It's called a weave or motion offense with the big man screen up top. Many schools use this offense and it works just fine. We just can't shoot right now and it looks like a cluster fvck out there.

For at least 3 years we have not had consistent shooters. So why are we running an offense that needs that? Doesn't it help you more to run an offense for what you have?

 

[shields]

Inside to Myles.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

I replayed the first 8 possessions to the first tv TO in the 1st half

Myles got 1-2 touches Rutgers shot 4/4 9 pts.
Myles 0 touches offensive foul, 2 missed shot and TO.

How is offensive that hard to understand.

 

[fluoxetine]

2 for 11 from three, yet we continue to chuck them up even early in shot clock.

We do?? I see the opposite lol everyone is scared to shoot. Did you see the shot clock violation near the end of the half?

 

[PiscatawayMike]

If I were Pike I would just show some Best of Eddie Mutphy clips.... loosen them up

 

[bac2therac]

Omfg

 

[RU MAN]

I’ll grant you that anything would look bad with shooting this bad and that we obviously look better with not everyone in a shooting slump.

but still, there is a shit ton of wasted time on many many possessions that leads to terrible forced looks at the end of the shot clock. It’s not bad shooting that causes that..

Yes and know. But that's both the players fault and Pike's fault. So to an extent I agree with you.

 

[bac2therac]

Myles weak but yes we need to go inside

 

[biazza38]

SCORE DAMMIT!!!!

 

[FrankZ]

What a frustrating team

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Get Mulcahy out now.

 

[bostonknight11]

Yeah, because Omoruyi has been just so productive that we need him on the floor even more. Can’t wait for that “rim protector” to show up. A rebound would be nice.

I don't disagree with you. We just need something to get things going.

 

[bac2therac]

We are punked

We are playing soft like charmin

Weakfish

 

[koleszar]

Good start, Pike did well at halftime.

 

[RUsojo]

Nothing really new today just playing Rutgers basketball

 

[RU848789]

Sit Paul down now please

 

[B0ski]

No life in this team whatsoever. Maryland playing with heart.

 

[FrankZ]

PM you can’t shoot 3s. Stop

 

[tfio]

Alright another missed 3 nice!

 

[bac2therac]

If they only made shots they said
