Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. NJIT
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Same bonehead nothing on last possession
Nice last shot play again, it’s now becoming a staple of Pike’s tenure. No shot at all or a tough NBA 3
It’s very hard to reconcile what we’re seeing now with what we were hearing before the season. How the hell did we “handle” Nova and UCONN?
How about running someone off a baseline screen so they can’t just pack it in on geo
I agree but when Mulcahy who is more or less an old school point guard, plus Cliff who is great but not a threat outside the paint, you can’t have 3 guys who can’t shoot on the floor together

Alot of people thought geo choked fumbling vs houston. Its honestly just the fact that hes not that athletic and doesnt have a great handle. We need to come up with something else for last shot. Like try to run something.
with that said, geo overall had a very good first half

We are going to have multiple bad losses in the coming weeks..next 2 very concerning
Jones need to play significantly more minutes
Nothing I dread more with this team than the end of the first half disaster you know is coming

Its so weird. Every team in america knows what happens if we have the ball with the shot clock off. Its worked like 2/12 times but the two were memorable so we always go back to it
Maybe we are just not all that good after all. Hard to imagine how poorly we are playing.
NJIT is not a powerhouse.

Little bit of everything. Hes playing very well, my only critic would just be hes dribbling too much at times and thats never good as he doesnt have a great handle
Cliff getting hit in the nuts reminded me of a Bobby Knight story from years ago. An Indiana player got hit hard in the jewels during practice one day. As the kid is on the floor in agony, Bobby goes over to him and says, "I hope you werent planning on using those tonight"
Can’t watch the game, like most. Can someone break down the first half to me.. is Cliff hurt? Why are we lossing .
3 garbage teams so far 3 garbage results. None of these teams should be within 25 points of us.
Unmatched expectations are a very bad thing. Admittedly got tricked by the comments myself.
I don't think anyone has ever said this. I mean if anything Geo gets way too much credit as a player because he has performed better in big spots not the other way around.

Btn+ for $10/month is worth it imo. You can replay every big ten game in all sports and watch games like this live
I gotta say I am starting to get a little pissed that these guys are making me sweat every one of these games out on gamecast. Put one of these teams away ffs.
3 games vs 250ish ranked programs and third game we’re losing at half at home.
the team just doesn’t look like they have any flow. Doesn’t make sense becusse this teams strength was the seniority + cohesiveness

Best play we run is when Ron comes off the baseline and sets a fake ball screen ( ghost screen ) for Geo and slips out for 3. This way Geo can read the d . Oh and you need some off ball action so the d can’t just sit back in help and clog the lane
When Rutgers is in the Tourney.....this thread needs to be bumped.... 😂 😆
I am flagging it now and setting a March 15 reminder

Shot selections by Caleb, Mulcahy and Harper are maddening. Cliff non existent on first half. Too many shots by Caleb and Mulcahy. Team has low bb iq and appear selfish. Some guys just want their shots. Play Hyatt and Jones
Cliff got hit in the nuts and still looked woozy when he came back in near the end of the half. NJIT is raining 3s and Mulcahy is a human turnover machine.
