Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers vs. Miami in ACC/B1G Challenge

[RUGiddy777]

What a disappointment.

 

[B0ski]

Where are the people who were slurping spencer now?

 

[Rokodesh]

Hyatt is so hard to like

I can't wait til he's gone

 

[dconifer]

You're missing a veteran starter. I wouldn't get too down about this...

 

[Randal7]

Mag is playing a different sport out there. Not sure which one but it’s not basketball

 

[Saint Puppy]

Very winnable game - we lost it

 

[kt124]

horrible blown opportunity for a quad 1 win, we rarely capitalize on early season resume building opportunities

 

[fluoxetine]

So it’s just luck we made our 3s and they missed them?

Mostly, yeah

 

[AshCatchEm]

We really suck..pathetic. I never want to see Hyatt play again. Guy is a walking loss.

 

[zebnatto]

With Paul we’re not any better

Disagree. He's a tested point guard and we have no option for him. He's not the be all. Either way, we're average but I think we pull this one out. Honestly, though, a meaningless point.

 

[RC80]

Hope Paul gets well - cause not going to win without him; and if Spencer won't or can't shoot as advertised - then this will be an NIT team

 

[newell138]

Horrible finish

 

[KingOfTheEast]

Tough loss might hurt us if we wanna dance

 

[Scangg]

We need Paul back. Win this game easily if we had him

 

[RU Mike73]

Terrible loss. Mulchahy needs to man up and help this bunch of misfits. Piss away double digit lead. Unacceptable.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Naked Layup drills for Hyatt and Mag are in order. Long overdue. Whole damn year

FIFY

 

[socaldave]

Say what you want but to many shots missed at the rim and not having your starting point guard leads to careless possessions
Anyone who says Paul doesn’t make a difference in this game is not being accurate

 

[RUby RED]

Yeah this won’t work. Will make for a very long year.

I disagree. Got good looks tonight, shots just weren’t dropping. I’m confident they will in time

 

[gmay8]

The season is gonna be over fast if they don’t figure it out soon.
This is pathetic

Already is over. Played 2 teams with a pulse. 0-2. All she wrote

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Damn it

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Completely choked. Hyatt made those early threes and was absolutely atrocious the rest of the way. Spencer god awful. 11 point lead. Oh great we have Indiana in 3 days. Then on the road at Ohio State. By the time we get Paul back the season will be over.

 

[Rokodesh]

Oof.

Hate to lose, but we aren’t a “team” yet and it’s obvious.

It’s learning experiences like this that we will learn from.

Saw this same type of thing with Geo and Harper early on.

You should learn how to make a layup in elementary school

 

[rubjk]

pathetic effort. This team should practice layups for 4 hours a day

Pathetic execution. Different than effort.

 

[newell138]

We miss more layups than anyone in the country.

I was thinking the same. We do miss an awful lot, especially tonight

 

[#1 RUFan]

And hate to say it, we're not better with Caleb in there. Simpson played well and didn't get a lot of time. All around disappointing loss that an average team could have won. Pike can take some blame too with horrible substitutions.

 

[mikeyo]

Can’t make a stinkin’ layup. Ever

Guess we need to start recruiting for that specific skill

 

[Scangg]

With Paul we’re not any better

Horrible take loll

 

[bac2therac]

recruiting matters

 

[RUfan1027]

Hyatt and Mag are awful

 

[ColonelRutgers]

We have no poise.

 

[RUTrack94]

Unable to see the game, but pleasantly surprised to lead at the half. I see Paul isn’t playing. Expected a 6-8 point loss without him, so ahead of the game. If RU is playing like they did vs Temple, then Miami isn’t very good.

Well, guess I was right on. Spencer hits a few more shots or if a healthy Paul plays RU wins. Won’t look bad on paper.

 

[FrankZ]

You should learn how to make a layup in elementary school

Sad but true. Inexcusable to be this awful at them.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

So Rutgers blew another end game when they were in control on a big stage? Couldn't execute down the end and made some stupid mistakes?

Shocker. LOL. Exactly why I turned it off. Knew it and my heart says Thank You!

 

[motel00]

Spencer had a bad game shooting. But if Hyatt and Mag could make a layups, we win the game.

 

[bethlehemfan]

So many bad takes. Good lord take a breath

 

[RU-05]

my bad fella's, turned this on 2 minutes ago at 61-61.

 

[FIJI'83]

Tough loss against a good team. Really could have used Harper hitting some outside daggers in 2nd half tonight. Finally, welcome to the big leagues Cam. Adjust or sink. Its all up to you.

 

[koleszar]

They’re not very good folded down the stretch. Even with Paul don’t think they have enough to make the tournament.

 

[cm_13]

Disagree. He's a tested point guard and we have no option for him. He's not the be all. Either way, we're average but I think we pull this one out. Honestly, though, a meaningless point.

Lot of sloppy possessions in the second half. Felt Paul’s absence late in this one

 

[rubjk]

The season is gonna be over fast if they don’t figure it out soon.
This is pathetic

Yeah just like last year. 🥸
