Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Lafayette

[kcg88]

We should hold them under 40 points today - what's the least we've given up (at least in the shot clock era)?

36 against EMU in 2018 and Columbia in 2002, I believe.

 

[bwrlaw]

Free kiss!!!!

 

[DHajekRC84]

32 a year ago?

Correction. 36 eastern mi.

 

[Joey Bags]

We held pitt to under 40 sometime between 2009 and 2012 i think

 

[RU848789]

Myles with 12/9 - kid will likely be averaging a double-double his last 2 years here.

 

[richthedentist]

Our offense has been horrible today we run no offense

 

[new jersey1]

Our offense has been horrible today we run no offense

Score?

 

[RUsince52]

We do find a variety of ways to throw up air balls.

 

[richthedentist]

On offense we just have the guy with the ball at the top the big man comes out and sets a pick and the other 3 guys just stand there and watch

 

[bac2therac]

Score?

55-27

 

[BillyC80]

55-27, 7:45 to go.

 

[mikebal9]

I'm pretty sure we haven't attempted a 3 this half. I would imagine that's by design. I bet coach told them to see what happens when they don't jack up 3s.

 

[BillyC80]

Paul with the sweet turnaround jumper in the paint.

 

[bac2therac]

Not sure the point of the lineup

 

[bac2therac]

Remove Young please

 

[leftoright]

Kiss on disciplinary? Up 24 pts.

 

[RutHut]

No answer for Myles. He is just dominant in this game.

 

[BillyC80]

Paul makes it look easy, just a knack for placing the ball in the best spot for an assist.

 

[RUsince52]

We should be getting 6-8 foot jumpers at will instead of throwing up crazy shots off a drive.

 

[bac2therac]

Lafayette getting hot...32 point lead down to 18 because RU decided to think about Christmas Day instead of playing focused

Very very lazy offensive possessions.

Last few minutes just terribly run offensively

 

[koleszar]

Remove Young please

Young continues to just chuck sh*t at the basket. When is the kid ever going to learn just pass the damn ball. There's no reason for the crap he does.

 

[RUsince52]

Have we attempted a FT lately ?

 

[RutgHoops]

Lafayette might win the Patriot. Already beat Princeton and Penn this season. The team we are annihilating here doesn’t stink.

 

[BillyC80]

Lafayette on a 13-3 run since that under 8-minute timeout.

 

[RU Mike73]

Sloppy sloppy. Bad shot selection. Young and Mathis. Out of control. Not the way to finish. Was 30 now 18. Does not matter today but not good.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Last few minutes just terribly run offensively

We've seen this before..lots of time. For me it is so frustrating to see a team play so well when they play together and in the flow and yet just love to get sloppy and selfish with the big lead.

 

[bac2therac]

Before that dunk just 6 points in 7 minutes

 

[RU848789]

Well, it's hard to keep up the intensity for the whole game and they got hot near the end, but still a nice win. Myles with 18/14 - best player today.

 

[BillyC80]

Myles is like, f this sh!t, and angry slam.

 

[RUsince52]

Yes. It's like Mathis waits awhile and than says , my turn. Usually way off too.

 

[Joey Bags]

Johnson JERSEY POWER

 

[RU848789]

Mulcahy with a career high 10 points and some pretty passes...

 

[Super tRUper]

Young with a stupid foul to stop the clock.

 

[bac2therac]

Lafayette might win the Patriot. Already beat Princeton and Penn this season. The team we are annihilating here doesn’t stink.

They were awful in the first half

Their defense isnt good

Credit RU for stomping them early but our offensive woes are self inflicted

 

[mikebal9]

I am enjoying Mulcahy's willingness to shoot. Will make the second team that much better if he takes 4 or 5 shots per game.

 

[bac2therac]

Myles is like, f this sh!t, and angry slam.

Its exactly what we needed..we stomped on them by attacking not by being passive and lazy

 

[Zak57]

Impressive win again!!!

 

[jerzeyguy]

Wish team was motivated to win by 30. Them style points matter for your image
