Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Kennesaw State

[PiscatawayMike]

Glad RU is playing this road game... will toughen 'em up for Vegas and beyond... not an enjoyable experience, but necessary

I learned a long time ago you never judge a college basketball team before Thanksgiving

 

[FastMJ]

This is shaping up to be potential most embarrassing weekend in Rutgers sports, the football debacle yesterday and now an ass kicking from Kennesaw

Disagree getting blown out at home by Kansas was way worse not to mention 80-6 beat down years ago

 

[BOCA93]

lol, first nationally televised game ever. Perfect

 

[Mholinko]

Terrible planning to fly in late the night before and even worse scheduling to have this game 2 days before Vegas with no time to learn anything

 

[Scangg]

Why do I fall for the “this team can shoot 3’s” ever time. What happened to Acuff, Hayes and Martini.

Acuff and Martini haven't attempted a 3. Hayes is 1-2

 

[koleszar]

Who's taking them?

Of course Davis and Derkack a combined 1-9. Now why they think the offense runs through them is a mystery, one that Pike apparently can't even figure out.

 

[biazza38]

Unreal.
FIGHT over that screen Dylan. You can’t go under that. Ugh

 

[Scangg]

Nice look from Dylan to Martini

 

[RexMantlepiece]

It better be the end

Cool maybe start a two for one “fire coaches” thread that could be real original….

 

[mildone]

We had 4 piss poor performances at home, it should have been drilled into them they couldn’t compete against a good team

I’m sure it was drilled into them. There’s no chance Pike wasn’t getting on them about it.

Players don't always get it right away.

 

[Mholinko]

This is where we learn to shorten the rotation

Davis needs to go to the bench, jwill is your defensive specialist and needs to stop dribbling

 

[biazza38]

Good spark

 

[RU848789]

Good start to the 2nd half, now down 47-33 with better play.

 

[Scangg]

The ball in Dylan's hands so far is a good sign

Ogbole dunk and big board

 

[Scangg]

Here we go... the run starts now

 

[biazza38]

Big E showing some confidence
Amazing what happens when you have the right line up out there

 

[koleszar]

Ogbole at least showed up. Now 9 pts.

 

[RU848789]

47-36, 10-0 run.

 

[Scangg]

Harperrr let him cook

Ogbole finishing strong!

Would like to see a lot more pick n roll with Harper and also use Ace as the screener

 

[bac2therac]

finally life...Martini and and 3 dunks

 

[koleszar]

Ace is killing us now 3 of 12.

 

[BillyC80]

Damn, Bailey has to make that trey

 

[Scangg]

Ace 3-12 ughh

 

[Scangg]

4 fouls already on Kennesaw

 

[Mr Magoo]

Harper and Bailey can’t play much worse

 

[BillyC80]

5 fouls to none

 

[mildone]

C’mon Dylan, no need to force it. Move the ball.

 

[Scangg]

Harper and Bailey can’t play much worse

Bailey not Harper

Dylan shooting 50% with 7 assists

 

[koleszar]

Our freshman sensations are really sh*tting the bed.

 

[biazza38]

Not a great series

 

[RC1991]

Was out earlier and checked the score quickly and was please that Rutgers was up by 20…..then got home and put it on and was like holy s&$# they’re actually losing by double digits. They look pretty bad. Hopefully can come back but not holding my breath.

 

[zappaa]

Harper has never played against a team defense

 

[BillyC80]

Dylan trying to do to much

 

[RUDivision]

Put PJ on get Jordan out we need more shooting to get back into this. They are clogging the lane and playing zone to neutralize Ace and Dylan

 

[bac2therac]

Ace just doesnt have it today...a nightmare stat line

 

[Rokodesh]

Cmon fellas keep chipping away.

KSAW just got away with atleast 3-4 fouls on the last possession

 

[Scangg]

Had a run now the offense back to sputtering. Dylan pressing a bit now. Martini somehow airballs a 3

 

[Rokodesh]

Dylan trying to do to much

In the NBA he'd be going to the line on every possession

 

[RUeric]

Too much 1 on 1 for Dylan, which then turns to 1 on 2 when the D rotates.

 

[BOCA93]

Dylan forcing trying to get too many calls.
