They lost to Michigan State by 24, to Temple by 29, and to Northern Illinois by 13. Not sure where RU should be in comparison to those teams, but if they want to be seen like those teams, a 20+ point win would be ideal. Who knows if that will happen however.

Remember, college basketball scores are not transitive.

Interesting. If JWill is out, it takes away some maturity and leadership which can be more impactful than expected, even if he’s not generating big personal stats.

I’d add that I see maturity and composure as two of the biggest weak spots for the team this season. Our most skilled players are very young. But young players, skilled as they may be, can often be taken off their game much more easily, and require lots more time to regain composure, than older players.

He's listed as "questionable." 90% of the time "questionable" plays.

He's not dressed in warm-ups so probably out.

Ace is starting over JWill, who I don't think is playing

 

[RocktheRac]

No f*cking fight song again

He has been subpar the past 2 games

I agree. And I felt he was subpar in many of the late-season games last year.

Is why I have a feeling JMike could wind up with more playing time than people think due to his tenacious 1v1 defense and decent help-defense.

Ace time begins now

[kupuna133]

Looks like definitely moving away from adidas. Playing with a wilson basketball.

 

[ScarletteK80]

ACE says BOOM with a 3. I didn't even sit down yet.

 

[mildone]

Monmouth has to know they can’t help off of Ace. They gotta stick someone on him and keep them in his underwear or he’s gonna eat them alive.

 

[BillyC80]

Ace with a trey for his first shot, just like Dylan!

 

[mildone]

What a soft touch Dylan has.

 

[FrankZ]

Harper says hi

 

[FrankZ]

Too much big O🤦‍♂️

 

[FrankZ]

Derkack perfect form at line 👏

 

[FrankZ]

 

[Degaz-RU]

Derkack all over the place on defense. McConnell Lite.

There’s the 10% lol!

 

[kt124]

if Ace starts making that mid range consistently look out

 

[Rutman514]

Man once Ace learns how to get to the rim with ease, he'll be unstoppable
