Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops opens season vs. Columbia

Cam really plays at a smooth methodical pace and has an excellent handle. When the team is out of sorts he needs to touch the ball. He's not just a spot up 3 point shooter. He gets into the lane and is a very good passer too.

Just really excellent all around player. Exciting to see

And he just found out how much fun it is to hit a big 3 that sets off the RAC.
 
So many bad takes vs a team that was 4-22 last year and game that was never in doubt before it started. Does Pike need to figure out a better rotation after the starter go off the floor sure, but Caleb is not playing has a lot to do with the adjustments in the planned rotations and it does look like Columbia plays at a faster pace by design to speed you up and leave certain shots open that you shouldn't take by design which we fell into. We made the adjustments. End of story.

A lot of us saw this jump coming. Could not understand what people were seeing when they said he would not be an impact player. Both sides of the floor, guy is gonna be huge for us.
He's right on edge offensively of a true breakthrough. Needs to finish better. It'll happen this season. By next season he might be on one of the All B1G teams

His defense looks excellent

Paul Cam Caleb Mag Cliff is a scary defensive lineup

Cam and Caleb are going to be trying to battle each other for the conference lead in steals. All those steals leading to more transition buckets this year
 
I know Columbia was only 4-22 last year, but RU had a killer instinct tonight

wolf with some good minutes. Can def board and hustle. Can he finish inside though?
 
The RU chant is embarrassing. Gotta fix that.
I think mic placement may make it appear bad.

Mulcahy needs a left handed layup. But the injury might be why.

Now this is how you play the Little Sisters!
 
So happy to see Simpson actually dribble against the zone. Chol stepped out but whatever, it was good to see something aside from passing around the perimeter for 15 seconds.

It’s not mic placement. It’s the pace. They need to slow it way down. The speed they’re doing it makes it sound like they’re all coked up.
