Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Temple

[runner3283]

“Offense” is sad. 1 pass and a shot

And this isn’t even the Big10 play. Gonna be a looooong season. where Will the offense come from?

 

[ClassOf02]

No FGs in what? 6+ minutes?

 

[TheKidFromRahway]

Reiber, Miller are not big ten players

And Hyatt is only worried about getting his shots up

 

[bac2therac]

Certainly the loss of Paul and Caleb are killing us. BUT its clear that the replacements for what Geo and Ron gave us are nowhere near ready...and a couple of them are upperclassmen

 

[RUChoppin]

Almost as many turnovers as points

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

It isn’t just the guards not getting him the ball. Cliff isn’t grabbing boards down low either.

 

[rufeelinit]

Well I have not seen our team play yet this year and I will be kind and say this does not look promising. I don't care who is not playing we look bad. I don't think Temple is even that good.

 

[Shell21]

stuck on 12. move the ball and stop going one on one. Minus cliff, we have no one on one players on the court

 

[hbbsm713]

This was so predictable

 

[Mr Magoo]

We’re a couple of weeks behind. Almost everyone has played a real team already except us.

 

[zappaa]

When everyone said Temple only had 1 scorer - did they mean this Battle kid?
He's got 10pts to our team 12pts.

You’re a bad fan when you say the opposing team is good around here

 

[bac2therac]

this game is over. Cliff can’t dominate against these guys and we look slow and unathletic. No flow on offense, and not valuing the basketball

The unathletic part is a reality check for the fanbase

Yup..it matters but Pike is going to be stubborn

 

[Shell21]

It’s pretty obvious and temple doesn’t have ridiculous athletes out there right now.

 

[koleszar]

Nice guy Pike needs a little fire and brimstone for his crew during this TO.

Same. My first game watching at well.
I took all the proclamations after 3 crap teams with a grain of salt.

This certainly isn't what everyone described in the first 3 games.

 

[RUby RED]

Who would’ve thought that missing our two most experienced ball handlers would hurt in the team’s first game against real competition…

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Certainly the loss of Paul and Caleb are killing us. BUT its clear that the replacements for what Geo and Ron gave us are nowhere near ready...and a couple of them are upperclassmen

We’re playing a team that doesn’t turn the ball over that much for the first time and turning defense into offense is a big part of we’ve been scoring. Mag doesn’t score unless it’s a put back or transition.

 

[Rokodesh]

****ing lmao, can't make a layup

 

[Knightmoves]

Spencer misses a layup.

 

[zappaa]

Real ball movement by Temple

 

[bac2therac]

28-12

 

[ScarletKid2008]

Offense is terrible.
Missing too many close range shots.
Cliff and May trying to do too much outside their strengths
Cam ain’t hitting anything at all

 

[Mr Magoo]

5 straight possessions with zero screens

 

[Shell21]

i’ve never seen a team miss this many easy shots

 

[RUJMM78]

A game like this just shows how offensively challenged Rutgers is without Caleb and Paul.SImpson is out of control and Spencer is missing in action.

 

[jkernpop]

If anything positive from this absurd mess, cliff having a jumper is great to see

 

[zappaa]

We literally don’t pass

 

[koleszar]

Nobodies hustling this is on the players.

And once again, Simpson you are not the #1 option this isn't high school pass the fvcking ball.

 

[ClassOf02]

PASS THE BALL SIMPSON!

 

[RU848789]

It’s honestly the worst I’ve seen in 5 years

Recency bias, lol. It's bad, but we've seen worse.

 

[bac2therac]

Open looks galore even if they miss

 

[Knightmoves]

14 points in 14 minutes?

 

[tfio]

How many times can we drive and get stuffed or get called for a charge

 

[Degaz-RU]

Simpson getting blocked every time he goes to the tin.

 

[Shell21]

just get it under 10 at half and regroup and take a breath.

 

[TheKidFromRahway]

Temple runs an offense, Rutgers hopes they can score somehow

 

[RUJMM78]

i’ve never seen a team miss this many easy shots

The Rutgers team missed many layups in previous games.

 

[bac2therac]

Recency bias, lol. It's bad, but we've seen worse.

Theres no geo and ron to save us in games like this

Alot of unproven guys on this roster

 

[zappaa]

Lol uncontested
