Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Seton Hall

[SantaFeScarlet]

Reiber and Agee both don’t deserve any minutes. So here we are.

No back up center.....terrible.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

seton hall much quicker than us.

They have a more athletic roster

 

[Danprusa_4]

He finishes more on offense than Duke. Duke was a better defender. Not even close. It’s literally like we only have 4 guys defending when Agee is in.

Agee just looks as if he doesn’t give a FLYING **** when he’s on the court and he has no anticipation for any ball. Either he’s high asf or has no brain cells

 

[Queztastic]

10 offensive rebounds to 2!

 

[graystork]

Geo and Harper ice cold and only down ten. Time to heat up.

 

[Shell21]

Agee literally holds the ball out for the defender to just take it when he catches on reversals ; happened twice already . No rip throughs, no pivoting , just lazy ball security

 

[zebnatto]

No center is looking for the pass when a guy has a clear path.
They both blew it. But it’s mainly on Caleb

It wasn’t clear path.

 

[RUTRINI]

Alot to be disappointed by in the play on the court but I'm disappointed by how quickly some fans abandon OUR players. It is Half Time and we are on the road battling a top 25 team. Down by ten but we will need EVERYONE to make a contribution. Let's decide if we will support OUR boys or not.

Go RUTGERS! Beat SHU!!!

 

[kennyschiano]

I would agree if only we had depth. If only Myles would’ve stayed we would be killing the inside rn. Which is why we have to settle for 10ft jumpers

Or if pike could recruit another big man. Can’t blame Myles.

 

[BigEastPhil]

The game was tied. Agee came in an turned the ball over on consecutive possessions. That started a 14-0 run. He should not see the floor in the second half.

Exactly. Hence why is he such a team negative / rally killer. He’s Souf bad.

 

[Danprusa_4]

Yes idk how a guy like him even got onto our team it makes no sense

 

[NickRU714]

Rhoden is limping. Could be a factor

Had same thought.
It sounded loud when he hit the floor.
Seemed to run after though.

 

[kennyschiano]

Pike needs to run him off baseline screens or pin downs and get him in the mid post to use his size. He hasn’t had any of these opportunities and he seems to be a one mistake player. Hard to develop like that

Pike doesn’t run those. May get in the way of teaching rebounding and defense. Oh wait …

 

[IL Lusciato]

These dudes have little sister syndrome like I've never seen.

This is their super bowl.

10 years ago there might been a fight with the nonsense they say. Yikes.

 

[Danprusa_4]

Of course we can’t blame Myles which is why I’m blaming Pike 100% on that. It’s all on the coach and assistants in recruiting

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

SHU plays these portal transfers big minutes.

Yetna, Richmond, Harris, Aiken, Jackson Obiago

RU transfers make little impact.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Cliff and Agee have a combined 2 rebounds..and Cliff has them both, that will not win you games

Nobody other than Caleb has more than 2.

 

[RUTRINI]

True 👍

 

[Shell21]

I agree . Only time I’ve seen them run consistently is last game against Purdue. Watch our offense that game and pretty much every other game this year; and it’s more than just making shots.

He limped to the locker room.

 

[Mr Magoo]

He finishes more on offense than Duke. Duke was a better defender. Not even close. It’s literally like we only have 4 guys defending when Agee is in.

His reflexes might actually be slower than Doucoure’s which I didn’t think was possible. Ducoure would box out after the ball hit the rim.

exactly....2 minutes in this game is criminal

 

[BillyC80]

We need better hands on the ball, collectively as a team. So many times we fumble the ball, even in the act of shooting layups or slams.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

He doesn’t seem to make hard cuts.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I have played 0.

 

[Danprusa_4]

I just don’t get why Pike changes things that are working and than expect it to get better when he sits the guys that are working and scoring for us on the bench. “I’m tired” Boo hoo this is why you get in shape in practices. Every other teams starters aren’t tired but ours

Should have let them cancel the series and kept the trophy

 

[Mr Magoo]

We are outshooting them. The difference is this game is offensive rebounds and turnovers.

The speed of their players vs ours is like varsity vs. JV

 

[kennyschiano]

I agree . Only time I’ve seen them run consistently is last game against Purdue. Watch our offense that game and pretty much every other game this year; and it’s more than just making shots.

Eh we didn’t run them during Purdue game. Got lucky with a great game by rhj with lots of iso - which is not a realistic thing to expect over and over. And Purdue is not very athletic. Really was a good matchup. Seton hall too athletic.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

If RU can go on a little run the red clad fans will get loud

 

[Mr Magoo]

Should have let them cancel the series and kept the trophy

Probably because we’re not beating them next year..even at home

 

[rtabachk]

Poor offensive control. Lots of bad passes and bad decisions.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Geo and RHJ s combined 1 for 10

 

[zebnatto]

Yeah, Cliff is still learning but troubling that he’s anot a better rebounder.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Barf 🤮

 

[rtabachk]

Wonderful start to the 2nd half

 

[koleszar]

It's not a greased pig guys.

 

[RutgersNo1]

RHJ is still that inconsistent. He is not going to NBA if he cannot solve this issue.

 

[bac2therac]

right out of the halftime, looking like a chinese fire drill

 

[Caliknight]

Can’t even pass around the perimeter. Ugh
