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

[DennisHajekRC84]

Pike can't be happy with the interior defense so far

What interior defense?

 

[Rokodesh]

Exactly what I was thinking - we should be up close to 10. Miami getting lots of easy baskets. If things don't change with our interior D - this is not going to end well for us.

They get an uncontested layup on every possession

 

[koleszar]

I thought they could lose, but I never thought they might lose because of their interior D.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Just realized excluding today That I have been to our last 3 road games. Iowa at big 10 tourney /Notre dame at Dayton and temple at Mohegan Sun. All losses. I should stay home.

 

[FIJI'83]

They have much more team speed than us. Their quick first step allowing for penetration. We need to counter. Zone?

 

[Joey Bags]

I’m all for trash talking but I actually thought if you immediately say something to a guy after a block it’s an automatic T. I feel like we’ve been t-d up before for simply staring a guy down.

 

[bac2therac]

Yes.

If you’re a guard you pretty much need to be able to have a green light on wide open threes

No not miller stop

 

[NickRU714]

Does this mean we can finally stop with the glowing proclamations after playing worst in the nation teams?

I've only seen Temple and this game (no BTN+).
Not even close to the team everyone keeps posting about.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Need to keep it close for balance of half.

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers should consider zone defense.

 

[bac2therac]

What happened to our big front court advantage

Its slow

 

[FrankZ]

Wolf sighting

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

There was no 3-point shot then

Or dunks

We have much more length. Need to keep pounding it

And Crispin is all in saying yes that’s what we do

 

[FrankZ]

Good call ref. 👍

 

[bac2therac]

Crispin is spot on about looking for Hyatt..that guy cant defend him

 

[koleszar]

Looks like their usual end of half swoon.

 

[Rokodesh]

Defense is so slow

 

[ScooterSports]

Cliff looks bad today

 

[FrankZ]

Guaranteed 3 after calling out the drear 🤦‍♂️

 

[Rokodesh]

Nice Caleb. Hyatt needs to slow down

 

[bac2therac]

Yes Caleb!

 

[BigEastPhil]

Good to see Dean being aggressive.

 

[Saint Puppy]

Caleb!!!!

 

[FrankZ]

Man I love having Caleb back

 

[toby83]

Awesome hustle Caleb way to crash

We're winning by 1 on the road with 48 secs. In the 1h vs. 6-1 miami

 

[Saint Puppy]

Man I love having Caleb back

100%

 

[FrankZ]

Dodge this basket somehow

 

[bac2therac]

Gotta rebound better

Cliff jumping out at perimeter players no good

 

[Rokodesh]

Missing Paul on the help defense inside. We've got guys out of position on so many of these plays

 

[FIJI'83]

Cliff needs to get untracked offensively 2nd half. Needs to play with some tude.

 

[bac2therac]

So despite the handwringing by many of us

Rutgers winning 34-33..ill take it. We can play alot better

 

[FrankZ]

Missed a darn layup again

 

[Shell21]

how many layups does mag miss a game. good lord

 

[Scangg]

Cliff Dean Wolf have combined for 1 rebound

 

[Mr Magoo]

Miller took it to the basket like an 8th grader

 

[mildone]

What happened to our big front court advantage

They’re double and triple teaming Cliff which is leaving us open for 3s.

 

[Rokodesh]

So close to 3 pt lead
