Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD -- Rutgers versus Princeton

[tfio]

Start simple. Work on effing rebounding and layups and go from there. Layups have been losing us games for years now it’s fvcking insane

 

[RUScrew85]

It's great being a Rutgers fan.

 

[fluoxetine]

Score?

My man, you are aware there are sites on the internet that will give you live sports scores?

 

[RUChoppin]

Guys like Hyatt and Cliff and Simpson will learn how valuable each missed layup is. Cliff will learn you have to work harder for rebounds. this game will pay off. Davis will learn that gus at this level will make you eat the ball of you aren't in good position to attack the rim.

If they didn't learn about missed layups last year, they never will

 

[brookdale-soda]

and PEACOCK SUCKS!!!

 

[RU MAN]

Played like one. I do worry Pike’s extreme emphasis on defense will neuter the offensive ability of guys like Gavin and Ace.

Pike won’t. I understand what you’re saying but Ace and Dylan will dictate a lot of it.

 

[Rokodesh]

It’s an app not a network

Who gives a shit

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Hopefully we don't see them again until 2035 or so.

Why? It’s a rival and we need to learn to play disciplined teams. Are we scared of PU?

 

[Mr Magoo]

Don't disagree with that, but you don't take out the only guard who's not afraid to push the tempo and find the open man

Well maybe his playtime keeps Ace here.

This production was great. Not sure what your gripe about it is

I cannot take another season of Hyatt and Palmquist cowering in front of open shots.
Son, if you aint gonna shoot, then GTFO off the court.

 

[RW90]

Guess this means we gotta be PU fans this season.

 

[winfield102]

Simpson the 17th best player in the court today?

Of the top 9 players (for both teams) that played today, only wolf and cliff in that top 9?

Princeton was better at every aspect of the game today. It was a clinic.

 

[darkcheck]

This isn’t embarrassing. Very entertaining game against a very good opponent. Not surprising out come at all.

Stop embarrassing yourself. We lost our leading scorer and best defender. Traded defense and rebounding for speed but still can’t score 65. Cliff owned by a 6-7 center. Noah is a A10 player. Williams is a NEC player. NEEDED Oskar back. No loose balls. No rebounding. Can’t defend the three. Can’t shoot. Quad 3 record 0-1.

 

[Rutgers56]

Not surprising in the least. Lack of shooting, lack of perimeter defense, careless with the basketball … It’s like some of you are new here.

 

[njxchange]

honestly... I said it last year...
Pike as in game coach = C
Pike as overall coach = A-

I wouldnt trade Pike with any coach out there for Rutgers but his rotation during the game, A lot of head scratchers...

 

[bethlehemfan]

Gavin will be fine. He’s NOT a project. Sorry but you don’t know what you’re talking about.

He is very much a project.

 

[RUChoppin]

Why? It’s a rival and we need to learn to play disciplined teams. Are we scared of PU?

Because we shouldn't play dangerous Q3 teams ever. If we're on the bubble again this year, this game will get a lot of talk in March.

This is only a rivalry to people who get mail from AARP.

 

[robjknight]

Wolf was the best player for us tonight.
Well different than last year’s line,
at least we have football to look forward to next Saturday

Yet were neck and neck for 38 minutes.

Poor picture quality, imo. The app sucks, too, so didn't even bother trying to pause a rewind.

 

[Mr Magoo]

If they didn't learn about missed layups last year, they never will

Players have “touch” or they don’t. Don’t expect Hyatt to start making layups like he should just like Cliff will always struggle to get tough rebounds and finish shots that aren’t dunks. Both players are no better than they were 3 years ago.

 

[RU MAN]

He is very much a project.

Okay. Let’s see how he plays the rest of the season. When he drove the basket he showed why he’s a 5,star player.

 

[RUinOhio]

Cliff had a really bad game. Out rebounded all night. Played with fire at the end when it was over

 

[koleszar]

His is a rebuild year, this year is all about prepping the guys for their roles next year

What's that? Just stay out of the way and don't shoot because you all suck at it?

 

[mikemarc1]

Poor picture quality, imo. The app sucks, too, so didn't even bother trying to pause a rewind.

I had absolutely no issue. If your picture quality sucked…it’s more likely an internet issue on your end

 

[kupuna133]

Problem is shooting.

More than one problem. Can’t lose the battle of the boards that badly to a significantly less athletic team like Princeton, and give them that many second third chance opportunity’s.

You can tell they thought they would roll the balls out and win.

 

[ImBadRU]

That nobody like Lee spanked us with ease speaks volumes about where we are right now.

 

[mikemarc1]

Cliff had a really bad game. Out rebounded all night. Played with fire at the end when it was over

Cliff is massively overrated. I’ve said this since year 1

 

[darkcheck]

Yet were neck and neck for 38 minutes.

With an Ivy team that was a 15 seed last year, and Princeton lost three key players. We’ll win some Nov and Dec games. But seton hall. Miss st. B1G we’re toast

 

[njxchange]

I think we will be much better than tonight.

Gavin will get much better with experience
Derek - He looked like he wanted to do something in the game, instead of letting the game come to him
Davis - I am actually surprised at how well he played with few rookie mistakes... He can even take over as PG later
Fernandez - disappointed... i was hoping for better veteran play
Hyatt - no comment
Oskar - i think he will playing pivotal role this year
Wolf - please get him more playing time. He develops any kind of a jump shot, he will be match up nightmare for other teams
Cliff - Please get him the ball more...

 

[RUChoppin]

I had absolutely no issue. If your picture quality sucked…it’s more likely an internet issue on your end

Possibly, but I pay for the upgraded internet from Xfinity. Have never had an issue with cable, so just one more risk of going to a streaming provider.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Fernandes, Simpson, and Davis were a combined 6 for 25 from the field…that’s insane

 

[brookdale-soda]

Start simple. Work on effing rebounding and layups and go from there. Layups have been losing us games for years now it’s fvcking insane

THIS! especially Simpson. And the game needs to revolve around our best player. Cliff. He can find open guys and can pass well.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Okay. Let’s see how he plays the rest of the season. When he drove the basket he showed why he’s a 5,star player.

He will end up being a good player. It will take a while.

 

[RU Mike73]

Pike as in game coach = C

It’s game #1. Rotation, he’s working on that SMH.

Impossible to make this prediction one game into the season..I’m sorry

 

[mikemarc1]

A sweet 16 team last year. Just remember that

 

[toby83]

He is very much a project.

He was so lost. So disappointing.

They sucked
