Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops welcomes No. 10 Indiana to town

[zebnatto]

Kopp doesn't miss

But he’s ugly.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

We haven't seen this defense this year

agreed best half of R defense this season by far

 

[RUTrack94]

Checked in on the score … awesome to see a halftime lead … also saw Indy missed a 3 at the end … RU playing well or Indy being Indy?

 

[FastMJ]

Kopp doesn't miss

Hopefully it will be good Kopp then bad Kopp

 

[bac2therac]

We desperately need a junior guard that can make shots

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Wide open 3. He will take that all day and should. His shots will fall, that kid is gonna be damn good.

Winning this game is way more important as a teammate than what personal future development is gained but continued misses.

 

[Shell21]

with cliff our we were swarming davis. I’d stick with it even with cliff

 

[mugrat86]

Our defense

I wonder if no Cliff has changed the way the game has played out

I am guessing Caleb could play 5

 

[richthedentist]

Caleb with 8 rebounds in the first half!!

 

[BossNJ]

Winning this game is way more important as a teammate than what personal future development is gained but continued misses.

He will and should take wide open 3s on ball reversals. The kid can shoot. Might not be falling in the 1st half but it will.

This is not like cCliff or Myles taking multiple 3s.

 

[mugrat86]

Cam hardly played this half

 

[richthedentist]

Who else here besides Dylan? He’s talking to a couple of guys in the first row behind the bench

 

[Knightmoves]

Don’t expect IU to shoot 28% in the 2nd half. RAC crowd is a factor.

Cant afford it in a game like this

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Happy at the half. Go RU!!

 

[King of S]

Keep the pressure on defense and crash the boards.

 

[Rusty_Screw_88]

Donnie Freeman

 

[mugrat86]

Caleb with 8 rebounds in the first half!!

Unbelievable effort

 

[RUinOhio]

Caleb with 8 rebounds in the first half!!

5 offensive

 

[ClassOf02]

Caleb 9 points, 8 rebounds (5 offensive)

 

[Rokodesh]

Call me crazy but maybe we play better in the second half if Cliff isn't playing as much. Defensively TJD did nothing against us.

 

[Rusty_Screw_88]

A class of Freeman, Harper and Betzy would be unreal.

 

[gregkoko]

Our defense

I wonder if no Cliff has changed the way the game has played out

Honestly Mag is playing better D in the post than Cliff has

 

[kcg88]

We desperately need a junior guard that can make shots

He sat on the bench for the last 8 minutes.

Probably the right decision too.

 

[FrankZ]

Not sure if Pike is being careful…but If Paul had Derrick’s minutes we’re up 15

Healthy PM this isn’t close, agreed. That one pass royally concerned - have to be careful.

 

[RUScrew85]

Just checking from game. Intro experience is fantastic. Caleb has really stepped up his offense. I think he wants to get drafted.

 

[drewbagel423]

Just checked the scote and awesome to see a 7-point lead at the half. Now just imagine if Caleb and Cam weren't a combined 2 for 14.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Trace sucks. Never does anything against RU.

 

[FrankZ]

Need you Cam. 3 pts not going to work.

 

[FrankZ]

Miller Kopp 5-7, 3-5
Rest of the team 3-21 14.3%, 0-8 from 3

Kopp can’t be left wide open. He officially can and will drain them.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

He will and should take wide open 3s on ball reversals. The kid can shoot. Might not be falling in the 1st half but it will.

This is not like cCliff or Myles taking multiple 3s.

That only one of the misses. He could also have gotten way closer to the basket for a mid range or even drive there to get a foul. Then watch the ball go thru the basket which often changes everything. When you're bricking outside get closer THAN move back.
His hustle has been great. There are just times when a team has to know who's hot and who's not.
Rutgers offense would be greatly improved if they ever figured this out.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

with cliff our we were swarming davis. I’d stick with it even with cliff

Absolutely and let cliff play a step away.

 

[FrankZ]

Score here.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Trace sucks. Never does anything against RU.

Do NOT play the jinx!

 

[koleszar]

Get Simpson out

Wide open 3. He will take that all day and should. His shots will fall, that kid is gonna be damn good.

When you ain't got it, it's time to see what someone else can do till next game. He's got 4 other teammates out there.

 

[FrankZ]

Find Cliff please

 

[Rokodesh]

Cmon Hyatt

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Why did Indy get the ball to start 2nd half? I thought they did corral the ball on the opening tip.
