Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Temple

[ClassOf02]

Temple is playing badly so far this half and we’re piling up fouls on them. We just need anyone to step up and score. But there’s no one.

 

[koleszar]

Need to play D and rebound. Cut it to less than 10 with 10 left in the game

That would require that we score. Getting one basket in over a minute seem like a chore right now.

 

[RobotHunter]

Cant make a layup or a free throw. This team is horrible. Should have cut Temple's lead to about 6 by now if they just executed some simple things.

 

[Saint Puppy]

As bad as we're playing this is still very much a winnable game....if we can somehow get our s**t together a little bit.

 

[bac2therac]

Cliff!

 

[Rokodesh]

Make your free throws Cliff

 

[jkernpop]

And one! Now in the bonus time to attack like hell

 

[RU848789]

These refs suck

well it is 16-9 in fouls in our favor

 

[bac2therac]

Cliff 3 missed ft in a row

Temple isnt that good

 

[Rokodesh]

Even with a 1% chance of winning they do everything possible to lose

 

[bethlehemfan]

My god two walks no call

 

[shields]

Make a damn foul shot Cliff.

 

[mildone]

Ghost foul.

 

[ClassOf02]

That’s a phantom foul.

 

[RUJMM78]

Temple scoring drought but Rutgers doesn't take advantage.Cliff misses 3 foul shots.

 

[RU205]

Simpson needs to pass the ball

 

[gigantor1024]

Never seen a foul called for a defender moving out of the way without contact before

 

[bethlehemfan]

well it is 16-9 in fouls in our favor

Talking travels and the shot clock call numbs

 

[RU Husky]

This one’s on Gleeson

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

#4 on Temple is way better than cliff lmao

 

[koleszar]

What in the fvck is that defense? Yeah everyone just leave the big guy open under the basket.

 

[RUby RED]

He is not going to break out. Jalen is not going to break out. Dean is not going to break out. Aundre will have a few double digit games but will otherwise be a liability. And, oh--I don't hate them.

Mag, Dean and Jalen are all decent mid-low major players. All guys who can make an impact when surrounded by high-major guys, but remove them from the equation and this is the result…

 

[ClassOf02]

Have we subbed at all yet in this half?

 

[rufeelinit]

I don't think we have subbed once this half.

 

[bac2therac]

Ugh so much for that

 

[RU848789]

Well, playing better, but still down by the same 15 point margin as at the half...

 

[Rokodesh]

There's no chance of winning this game. They can't cut to even 10 with a million opportunities

 

[fluoxetine]

Playing a lot better but still not hitting any shots.

 

[tfio]

Just another Rutgers team that can’t take advantage of opportunities when given to them

 

[bethlehemfan]

Need to make some shots. Refs suck but we make some shots it’s a game

 

[koleszar]

Simpson needs to pass the ball

He still thinks he's in high school playing against 6'1" and 6'2" guys. He'll learn but he sucks until then.

 

[greenknight]

RU has 36 mot awarded pts on last basket

 

[Degaz-RU]

Cliff 6-13
Rest of team 5-23

Still no threes

 

[RobotHunter]

9 min in to second half and haven't shaved one pt off the halftime deficit. Had plenty of chances. Game over.

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers chances of winning without Spencer making 3 pointers is slim.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Our starting Backcourt is 1 for 11 from the field.

 

[leftoright]

got a few RU screamers in the stands

 

[Rokodesh]

Mag, Dean and Jalen are all decent mid-low major players. All guys who can make an impact when surrounded by high-major guys, but remove them from the equation and this is the result…

Everyone has a role. Nobody is asking Jalen to be a first round pick. You aren't going to field a roster of 12 all big ten players. It's unfortunate our starting backcourt is out and a freshman combo guard is our primary ball handler. Not many teams would feel zero drop off talent wise

 

[jerzeyguy]

Playing their hearts out but still down 15. Its a talent issue..

 

[ClassOf02]

Simpson is driving into the lane a ton and only thinking about going to the rim….and getting blocked every time. How about looking for a kickout to Cam?
