Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Maryland

[Caliknight]

Why does everyone assume RHJ is in a shooting slump. You take his 1st 4 games where he shot very solid from.3pt land
Since he's 5 for 49 including today....somewhere in those 50 shots you have to get lucky and hit a few more. Maybe he just shot over his head the 1st 4 games. Dont thinknhes hit 20 pts since game 4

The anomaly is him shooting well.

If this team has any chance today it will be ratcheting up the defense to levels of December 2020.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Not sure if we can even score 11 more points in the game

 

[RedTeam1994]

Is there another team in America that misses as many layups as us?

no

[bac2therac]

If we comeback its all about turning them over

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

PM the only guard who showed up. Everyone else awful. And RHJ...

 

[RU_Goo]

Need to find another win , luckily Nebraska and a beaten down Minnesota. There’s a chance neither of those teams show up and we can steal one .

Just need the bubble field to continue to weaken and hope we get one more w

 

[Mr Magoo]

Harper - 2pts, 0 FGs

 

[RU Mike73]

All BODYWe suck enough refs, just don’t

FIFY

 

[zappaa]

This team goes 10 minutes scoring a handful of points every game.
And you think this team is going to the tournament

 

[RUsojo]

Starting to really question Pike. Team has massively regressed. Has anybody improved this year vs last?

Last years team was somcuh more fun to watch.

not seeing anything different today than o e seen the last 7 or 8 games although do like Paul scoring some baskets inside the last few minutes

 

[tfio]

So now missed layups is becoming an every game thing too now...awesome

 

[Caliknight]

What is your alternative strategy lol?

Get the ball in the paint. Often and only.

 

[Ridge 22]

Is there another team in America that misses as many layups as us?

No. And we are also one of the worst free throw shooting teams in the country. And abysmal from 3. Kind of begins to become more clear why we aren't so good when you look at it that way.

 

[RU#1fan]

The Team looks like it has checked out.
Tournament might be a dream now.

 

[RUDead]

Sit Paul down now please

Ha.

 

[koleszar]

Getting run out of our own building

McConnell steals the ball and then misses a layup.35-22 Maryland leads and Rutgers has scored only two points.in second half.

It was a rousing halftime speech. We got the two.

You really think that will happen? Based on today I’d be surprised if we get another wjn

last years team also had much more fun playing.
Ive said since early this season. This team has no energy playing in an empty arena

 

[RedChucken123]

There's so much pseudo help defense. I feel like a lot of times when a team is penetrating, if somebody just steps in and takes a charge for once, we can get the call. I'd be surprised if we even got 5 charges so far this year compared to past seasons.

 

[tfio]

We are so good at making shots after the whistle

 

[FrankZ]

We have 24 points 🤦‍♂️

 

[RUsojo]

Need Geo to get aggressive if we are gonna stick to this group of guys and need it fast

 

[Mr Magoo]

it’s the hardest RU team to root for in a while.

 

[bac2therac]

Got to make every foul shot

 

[koleszar]

Shoot more 3's. Just make sure you get fouled while doing so. Because there's no way in hell you're making it.

 

[RUJMM78]

Blame the performance on the lack of fans

 

[RU848789]

RHJ bailed out on that one, but I'll take it. Fouls are even at 7-7 for the whiners.

 

[tfio]

No bench energy at all

 

[Caliknight]

If what the announcer just said Pike told him about wanting one on one basketball, he needs to be talked to. That’s outrageous.

 

[RUsojo]

past year pike road Geo Mathis young down the stretch and they crushed together

 

[bac2therac]

Why is Geo out

 

[FrankZ]

That didn’t take long to be untied

 

[koleszar]

WAAYYY OFFF THE MARK. Put that one on recording with this team.

 

[RUsojo]

Mathis EWWW

 

[superfan01]

Mathis just missed the basket by 4 feet on a wide open three. No rim.

 

[bac2therac]

Mathis brick

Way to go Pike

 

[Mr Magoo]

LOL

 

[RUKiid]

We need an offensive minded coach to go with Pikes D. This game plan is just terrible. You have to try really hard to be this bad on offense.
