Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Bucknell

[Rokodesh]

Need to give Dean some minutes

 

[bac2therac]

Cam shot not on tonight

 

[FrankZ]

1-9 from 3. Most not close 🤦‍♂️

 

[bac2therac]

44-26 half

Cliff dominant and getting some buckets on turnovers

Negative is our outside shooting is subpar

 

[RutHut]

Picking up Wolfolk was huge to bang with the bigger bodies.

 

[fluoxetine]

I know it’s just Bucknell but it means something that we are dominating all these teams so much

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Referees are not allowing us to play A defense.

 

[bac2therac]

Derek looks impressive

Expect alot of minutes in 2nd half. This and Coppin State games are big for his development heading into the Big 10 slate

 

[Rokodesh]

I know it’s just Bucknell but it means something that we are dominating all these teams so much

Last year would have been a single digit game at halftime

 

[winfield102]

Why do we settle for such a shitty last shot of the half? Penetrate.

 

[Degaz-RU]

1 for 9 on threes

 

[rcube1994]

Schiano at the game. Wearing neutral colors.

Appears to be limping for some reason.

Its hard not to compare and see the difference to the Geo/Ron teams that didnt bring the right type of energy to these games and to the lesser schools in the Big 10

 

[zebnatto]

Am I alone in thinking we aren’t really playing well?

 

[bac2therac]

Schiano at the game. Wearing neutral colors.

Appears to be limping for some reason.

Heard he has a leg

 

[fluoxetine]

Am I alone in thinking we aren’t really playing well?

I am at a Christmas thing so have only been 1/3 paying attention. It looked like we were playing well but bricking a lot of threes. Not sure if that is reality tho

 

[fatsam98]

Am I alone in thinking we aren’t really playing well?

Eh we don't need to though. These Christmas games can be weird I'll settle for being up big

 

[newell138]

Geo Baker doing a nice job on the radio broadcast

 

[bac2therac]

Am I alone in thinking we aren’t really playing well?

We are playing very good D making Bucknell uncomfortable and rushing

Rutgers doesnt need to play perfect. Get up 15-20 and coast from there

We are playing effective and efficient

The criticism is settling for longer shots when we can get what we want

 

[Degaz-RU]

Am I alone in thinking we aren’t really playing well?

I agree. Offense hasn’t looked good since the first 5 or 6 minutes. Need to start hitting some shots.

Coasting is never good.

 

[jordkap]

The goal against cupcakes is to not remember the game. If you remember it, it’s a bad thing. Win by 15+ and nobody remembers

 

[ClassOf02]

Why do we settle for such a shitty last shot of the half? Penetrate.

Agree. Not just on the final possession. Fouls were like 7-2 in our favor midway through and we didn’t try to penetrate and get to the line.

 

[bac2therac]

Coasting is never good.

We can coast and still add 5-10 points on Bucknell before its over. 36 hours before Christmas both teams just want to get out of there once the fat lady comes out of the bowels of the RAC

 

[BOCA93]

The D is suffocating and holding Bucknell well below their typical FG%. Really good first half

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Need to give Dean some minutes

His body language during halftime warm-ups was bad. Seemed to be sulking.

 

[RUKen]

Snow just arrived in Woodstock NY.

Cheer on our Scarlet!!!

Ha. I’m in Lake Hill. You and I are going to be cold tonight Go RU

 

[Mr Magoo]

The center for Bucknell looks like the guy from Digital

Heard he has a leg

Lol. Hope it doesn’t develop into a stinger

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Am I alone in thinking we aren’t really playing well?

Perhaps

 

[fluoxetine]

His body language during halftime warm-ups was bad. Seemed to be sulking.

Oh god please don’t do this

 

[bac2therac]

Looks like Cam made it a point to be aggressive on that possession coming out of halftime

 

[FrankZ]

9-10 from line pleasing

 

[Rokodesh]

His body language during halftime warm-ups was bad. Seemed to be sulking.

Maybe just upset he hasn't gotten into the game

 

[ClassOf02]

Mag trying to create usually isn’t a thing.

 

[B1GRUfan]

Schiano at the game. Wearing neutral colors.

Appears to be limping for some reason.

Probably a lower body injury

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Oh god please don’t do this

Just stating what what I saw.

 

[FrankZ]

Mag trying to create usually isn’t a thing.

Just way too much

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Probably a lower body injury

Hopefully.

 

[FrankZ]

Caleb doing his thing

 

[FrankZ]

Front rim 3s nauseate
