Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. UMass-Lowell

[Shell21]

[MiloTalon13]

Hopefully PM just got banged on shoulder and pain.

Paul’s shoulder injury did not look good at all. We’ll obviously have to wait and see but I’m thinking bad news.

 

[THERAC]

I said in another thread - Paul most likely has a torn labrum. This is something he can play with but will need surgery at some point if it’s bad. If not bad hopefully some rehab to strengthen it for 4 to 6 weeks.

I said it last game, he is like Deshawn Freeman, complete black hole. Once he gets the ball he is shooting/straight to the rim never looking to pass

You are so out of touch. He passes it plenty. Unfortunately the entire team is struggling.

I am glad he feels comfortable and does not have to defer to the previous stars.

He scored 19 points in 20 minutes last game.

I expected more of a struggle and closer game coming off Thursday night game to play Saturday afternoon.

No. I am just stating what I observe on the court. Great for him that he scored 19 points in 20 minutes. He doesn't pass the ball, he just proved it on that last 2 on 1. Don't get all emotional.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Cliff going for 15pts, 9 boards first half

 

[bac2therac]

Ru looked quicker after Paul went out

 

[FrankZ]

This Cliff guy is pretty good

 

[FrankZ]

Nasty from Simpson

 

[bac2therac]

34-21 Rutgers settled in and is in great shape

11-2 run to close out last 4-5 minutes of half

 

[robjknight]

Need Cam to light up 2nd half and put these guys away

 

[GRU23]

Haven’t been able to watch, looks like Simpson and Cliff playing well

 

[RUGiddy777]

This Cliff guy is pretty good

 

[FrankZ]

9-10 FTs. Continued thanks

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Can't wait for the Temple game on ESPNU Friday

 

[RU848789]

Had the game on mute, watching the football game with sound and saw Paul go off grabbing his shoulder. Has there been any commentary on this? Haven't seen him back on the bench. Like many, have been concerned about his shoulder since it happened in the first game.

Other than that UML is way better than those first two teams we played and this is a much better test for us. Without Cliff dominating inside, this could be a 5-6 point game, but Cliff has been a monster.

 

[RutgHoops]

This is going to be a sweat in the 2nd half with no Caleb and no Paul. But, Paul/Cam/Hyatt/Mag are 2 for 13 with 7 points (total) and we are up 13 at the half on a decent team. Hard not to be impressed. Cliff is a borderline AA. Need to keep our pieces around him healthy(ier)

 

[bac2therac]

Lowell is bricking alot..they will be worned down..come out and hut a few to go up 18-20 and the rest is cruise control

 

[RUpop]

watching it but you know the gameday thread can get ugly, very ugly.

 

[mikebal9]

Anyone else in the "Sit Paul unless we need him" camp?

 

[RU848789]

21-14 and we are at msu 21

Drive stalled unfortunately and blocked FG - way too many penalties, but I like how we're playing today, especially running the ball.

 

[bac2therac]

Fg blocked..6 min drive for naught

 

[RU848789]

Anyone else in the "Sit Paul unless we need him" camp?

I am.

 

[bac2therac]

Anyone else in the "Sit Paul unless we need him" camp?

We were quicker and more efficient when he left

 

[Shell21]

[bac2therac]

We are cooking now

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Starting to think Cliff gonna be an NBA stud

 

[RUDead]

We were quicker and more efficient when he left

He always slows things down when he is in.
