Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Basketball versus Alabama

[darkcheck]

Stop whining about the refs. It’s rebounding and our own 3 point % that is losing this for us. A three point attempt is literally a turnover for us

 

[ScarletKid2008]

This game is taking forever lol

Becusse there’s like 30+ fouls already

 

[AdventureHasAName]

This team is one Mega Star, one extremely talented player who has no idea what he is doing, and a bunch of guys who barely belong on a Division 1 basketball team ... and a coach who enforces none of the fundamentals (free throw shooting, boxing out, not leaving your feet on defense, making the extra pass, etc).

Fortunately, the only thing you need to be at least average in the sport of basketball (at almost every level) is one Mega Star. It's a shame though, because we could be so much more.

 

[mildone]

Only way we can win, I think, is to keep driving and drawing fouls. Pretty clear that our guys are tired right now. So 3s are unlikely to fall. And we need to score with the clock stopped to catch up with only 5 minutes left.

 

[RUChoppin]

Refs are roughly even between teams, but very inconsistent play to play. Hard to gauge what will or won't be called.

 

[knight82]

I’ll admit I haven’t watched much bball , but from what I’ve seen I would double down that’s he’s the worst player I’ve ever seen play for us - since 01 I’ve been following

you didn't see Souf Mensah?

 

[ScarletDave]

Alabama is Elite. We are playing great, Bama is making plays and making shots. They’ve made a few more layups than us, that’s the difference so far

 

[rubjk]

He transferred for the bag.

And donated a nice portion for shoes for kids in Nigeria. Cliff deserves nothing but respect. Great for RU. Got an engineering degree and an all around good human.

 

[BillyC80]

JD and EO have to make

Costly

EO had a tough look, but yeah. But after his pass, Jordan has to bury that.

 

[SBP]

JD is alligator arms on all his shots. All short .

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

now how could they see that was a foul? They ref had zero angle

 

[socaldave]

This acuff kid is the worst player ive ever seen actually play for us

Wrong.

 

[bac2therac]

Yes

The game comes down to 1-10 from 3 and 38-27 on boards

 

[Rokodesh]

This Sears kid is a ****ing dickhead

Same out of control play but he gets calls.

 

[RUsojo]

It’s a problem when a guy we have on the floor for his defense is getting hunted

 

[robjknight]

The three point shooting needs to improve if we want to win games like this. 10% isn’t going to cut it.

POor 3 point shooting was the game. Make 30 % and we win

 

[bac2therac]

Bama 10-24 from deep

Rutgers 1-10

That’s game

Yes

 

[FrankZ]

Oh my EO cmon

 

[BOCA93]

Sears is probably the best they’ll face all year. He’s crazy good

 

[Rokodesh]

How has bama had jump ball possession for like 9 minutes?

 

[bethlehemfan]

The game comes down to 1-10 from 3 and 38-27 on boards

I’m In the moment. I know bac refs never have an impact according to you.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Refs calling literally everything, except when Derkack has the ball

again your point proved correct

 

[bac2therac]

Becusse there’s like 30+ fouls already

Its actually 51

 

[KnightLife1994]

Derkack is an offensive killer. Makes me nuts. He should not be facilitating

 

[KK1827]

You can’t play high level basketball against a top 10 team with ONE made three . Thats where we need ace to just go get his from behind the arc. Feels like Harper can do whatever he wants

Yup. The fact we cant hit 3’s gives us zero chance

 

[AdventureHasAName]

Someone needs to tell everyone not-named Harper or Bailey that aren't on the court to shoot. Ever.

 

[itsRtime]

I’ll admit I haven’t watched much bball , but from what I’ve seen I would double down that’s he’s the worst player I’ve ever seen play for us - since 01 I’ve been following

Souf mensa would like to have a word with you

 

[KK1827]

When sears comes back in gotta hin in pick n roll action here get them to switch so dylan can foul him out

 

[tm_nj]

this team has no give up!

 

[bac2therac]

I’m In the moment. I know bac refs never have an impact according to you.

Fouls are 27-23 Bama

Not going to win with 1-10 3 pt shooting vs top 10 team

 

[Jersey07712]

There needs to be a limit placed on Jordan Dercack drives to he basket.

 

[cRURah]

we need to hit some 3’s, but we won’t.

 

[jerzeyguy]

Wish we would actually try to set up clean looks

 

[RUinOhio]

Refs calling literally everything, except when Derkack has the ball

Wife said the same

 

[BillyC80]

Derkack has to find Dylan or Ace, on every possession in the last 4 minutes.

 

[FrankZ]

we need to hit some 3’s, but we won’t.

Frozen at 1 make for ages as expected

 

[SBP]

I mean… JD who the fart do you think you are? Stop dribbling and swing it!!! Kids too big for his britches. Ace was WIDE OPEN, dumb!!!!

 

[FmrMgrRU]

Imagine if we had a big man who went straight up when getting an amazing pass under the basket

 

[IL Lusciato]

And donated a nice portion for shoes for kids in Nigeria. Cliff deserves nothing but respect. Great for RU. Got an engineering degree and an all around good human.

Yeah no need to hate on that young person at all. He's an RU grad.

 

[KK1827]

There needs to be a limit placed on Jordan Dercack drives to he basket.

I like his defense. But hes gotta have a 5’2 wing span. Crazy hes like 6’5-6’6 and can barely dunk
