Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Sacred Heart

[FrankZ]

9 steals. 👏

Nice to see this team not looking past the "lesser" programs on our OOC schedule. A 21 point halftime lead speaks volumes about their enthusiasm.

Yes, and I’m not worried about Cliff at all. But PM is off his game at the moment. We need the PM we saw during the streak of beating ranked teams last season. Or at least something closer to that.

I’m seeing regression. Wonder if he’s feeling a little pressure from how well Spencer is playing at both ends of the court.

PM is not going to see gimmick defenses in the B1G. It will be more man-to-man as usual, where he can play his game.

I don't think Paul is looking to score rn; he's trying to get everybody involved and doing a very good job job - it will pay dividends throughout the season.

I agree. Best case he’s banged up. But we need a better version of PM.

I haven't seen a Simpson drive like that since 1994

Thanks for the edit with ‘not’ 😎

Did you have that in waiting or just pull that one out lol

Have we answered the question “how are we going to replace Geo’s and Ron’s scoring “?

One has to be incredibly pleased with how we're playing and how Spencer and Hyatt, in particular, are playing/scoring (and Simpson, Mag, too), but Columbia and Sacred Heart are two of the worst programs in college hoops, so I think we all have to pump the breaks just a bit until we see this team play well against P6 competition. Doesn't mean I think we're going to suck, but we're going to struggle in some of those games.

Pike has done one great job building the program. This team, I know the OOC schedule is weak, is good. Real good. And, it is fun to watch.

 

[FrankZ]

Reiber with minimal playing time surprising - unless I just missed something (didn’t watch first half of game)

 

[robjknight]

Great to see Simpson get into the offensive flow. It’s nice to have Cam and then a bunch of other scoring options. Hopefully tonight’s FT shooting is the way the season will go.

I'm guessing he might not be back to 100% yet

 

[FrankZ]

There you go PM

 

[FrankZ]

Nice move by Mag but no fruit

 

[RUinOhio]

I’m a big PM fan. But he’s been kind of bad in the first two games. And the team D is a little different this season, creating fewer opportunities for PM to do his lane clogging thing on D. He’s working super hard, but not contributing as much as last season.

4pts, 5 ast, 4 rebs and 2 steals so far

 

[FrankZ]

Nicely Cam

Nicely Cam

Now a tres. Love this man

 

[Scangg]

Spencer is phenomenal in transition with the ball. He just sees the court and looks off the defense so well

 

[robjknight]

also no McConnell, get all three of them going at 100% and that can be dangerous

Hope we get Caleb back for Miami game

 

[FrankZ]

Now the pass for a better 3. Wow

 

[Shell21]

spencer great feel for the game

 

[RU848789]

Hyatt was a 4 star, remember - he's really coming into his own...

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Gonna go out on a limb. This is ranked 15-20 team at worst all season. Talent is ridiculous.

 

[RUDiddy777]

Baller.

 

[FrankZ]

Cam: 18/4/4/3/0 - adding the TO watch at end which is just as impressive as the rest

 

[FrankZ]

More made FTs. Tears of joy

 

[RUDiddy777]

“Point Cliff”

Love the enthusiasm. Definitely talented. But we haven’t played anybody yet.

Gotta read between the lines my friend!

Nice Wolf

 

[FrankZ]

Threiber! Ask and receive

 

[RU848789]

nice post move by Woolfolk and a Threeiber!

 

[Scangg]

Woolfolk with the post move! The hustle on D! Then the steal!

Dean THREEIBER

 

[koleszar]

So far this year a much better outside shooting team

 

[FrankZ]

What a fundamentally sound player Cam is. Just a treat to watch

 

[Shell21]

i know it’s sacred heart but the ball movement is the best i’ve seen since pike got here. not sticking, making the extra pass , running good action .,

 

[Scangg]

The ball movement is so enjoyable to watch. The team chemistry and unselfishness is through the roof

 

[fatsam98]

Love the hustle up 30. This is awesomd
