Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Lafayette
- Thread starter ChrisNalwasky
- Start date
When Paul is in our halfcourt offense looks great. The quicker he can get up to speed and be comfortable against real competition the quicker RU can get to the dance
And people were worried about this game? Blowout city. 27-6. Caldwell wlll be even more of a scrimmage - we better get the walk-ons and Kiss/Doucoure some minutes in that game. And then the fun begins.
Well in fairness Lafayette is in top 3 shooting 3s.
Getting out to a quick start and bottling them up on D a huge factor today in absolutely snuffing them
Our offense stagnated with Young in the game
He is consistently the weak link

There has to be some teams out there that never fast break and it's still better than us. Just don't have those type players that finish.
Its hard to be upset with that half, but our lack 3 point shooting is going to handcuff us once again in the B1G
Jacob Young comes in and we go from 70% shooting to missing 9 of last 10 shots. 4 on 5 with him in
Amazing first half by RU, especially defensively. 33-13. Holding them to 25% from the field and outrebounding them 22-14. And shooting 52% ourselves. Very little to not like.
Great observation by announcers. "Reckless"
Getting selfish and foolish last 5 mins. Went completely away from what got the lead.
Go up by 30 and save that crap for last 5 of game. Not the half.
Get control pike.
You think laf. Will shoot this bad 2nd half?

Great first half but we should be up by 30. No need to rush the transition on such an overmatched team. Way too sloppy. I think they clean that up and put up a 50 spot in the second half.
There is no need for 3 pt. shooting in a game like this. Unless your offense is centered around throwing up 3s, then you take them within the flow of the game.
Here’s the problem. Who replaces him in the the rotation? Kiss? Hasn’t even seen one minute in this game while Douc has
I know we need Young’s D when we get into the teeth of conference play, but he has got to leave half of his ego on the bench when he steps on the court. The half that controls his offensive mindset.
Its nitpicking but that was a poor finish to the half offensively. RU was held scoreless for the last 5 minutes by a poor defensive team. A little too much showboating and outside shots. Doesn't look like Yeboah has his shot today. Young already has 3 turnovers and RU has 9 total which is way too many vs a team like Lafayette
That said the defense remains oppressive and we lead by 20.
Want to see Young play under control in the 2nd half...ditto for Mathis and Carter. I think id like to see things specifically worked on after the first team builds on the league to start the 2nd half

If you're going to dog a player, throw Mathis in there too. He's done nothing this half.
Agree...Pretty poor numbers today. I dont want RU shooting anymore 3s today..no reason too for this game
Agree..his weakness that we know showing today..not playing within himself...same for Yeboah..i dont want him shooting if hes goi g going to clank shots. Once RU cleans these weaknesses up and everyone plays to their strengths we will be a top 25 team
on the contrary I would like us in a game that we have complete control that we run some plays to get guys open 3s and see if they cna make them
He can have minutes. I dont like that he usually is part of a rotation that includes Mulcahy. I think him running the 2nd team isnt the best substitution
He should not see the floor or have a mandate he is not allowed to shoot!
