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

[DennisHajekRC84]

How can mag not make that shot? Geez

 

[BigEastPhil]

Gotta make that layup at end of half.

 

[Corycord1]

Hahaha Miller and Mag

 

[jkernpop]

The ole missed open layup to close the half. Brand new game for half two

 

[GRU23]

It’s going to be a lot of games like this where the offense will be a grind. But if we can take a one point lead into halftime everytime away, I’ll take it

 

[Saint Puppy]

I'm just going to ignore the last 3 seconds - SMH

 

[RU Mike73]

Layup drill please.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Man I love having Caleb back

He does a lot of stuff that no one else does

 

[Rokodesh]

Miller took it to the basket like an 8th grader

Can't blame him for that. He was on a fast break with time running out.

 

[RU-Hunter]

Would have been nice to get that basket to close out the half

 

[SBP]

MAG MISSES A LAYUP? Wow, that’s never happened before ! SMH

 

[rubjk]

Why do we shoot better from 3 than on layups?

 

[toby83]

Damn that put back would have been freebie pts

 

[hbbsm713]

You could see Miller wanted no parts of that breakaway. And of course a missed layup.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Miller was fouled

 

[Joey Bags]

fun game, halftime lead

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Gotta rebound better

Cliff jumping out at perimeter players no good

I HATE that crap.

 

[armenius]

Mag misses more putbacks than any player I've ever seen. That's 3 this game, and easily 3 or 4 every single game.

 

[tfio]

Will we ever be good at fast breaks or layups? Like ever?

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Dear sweet baby Jesus, how do you miss that layup? Unbelievable.

 

[MS-RU]

How do we miss so many layups?

 

[bethlehemfan]

Our d needs to be better.

 

[jordkap]

Cliff Dean Wolf have combined for 1 rebound

We also are out rebounding Miami by 7

 

[hinson32]

I just got home and wanted to test something. I read this thread before looking at the score. Judging by this thread I was guessing RU was down by 10-15 points. LOL, I checked the score and we are winning.

 

[toby83]

55% from three won't hold up gotta get cliff involved

 

[socaldave]

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.

We are up by 1 on the road to an elite 8 team last year, without our starting point guard wtf are you talking about?

 

[ScarletDave]

Rutgers historic layup missing. If not for Caleb we’d be down 15. Worst program in the nation in history for layups .. including all community colleges

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Quick half

 

[mildone]

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.

It’s just talk. Sticks and stones. I don’t know what the kid said, but I was happy to see our guys mostly just shrug it off. That composure will pay off at some important point down the road.

 

[RUJMM78]

Mags misses layup as first half ends.Rutgers leads 34-33

 

[Nycrusupporter]

We haven’t played well and are up at the half, so I am not complaining

 

[Degaz-RU]

Omieri is running circles around our interior players, and he rarely misses a bunny.

On the offensive end, we’re lucky we’re hitting threes, because UM is playing outstanding interior defense. We can barely get the ball into Cliff on the block.

 

[RUinBoston]

So despite the handwringing by many of us

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

not despite it....because of it!

 

[RutgHoops]

Nice to see Caleb flying around so quickly off the injury. Would imagine the emphasis is on stopping them from getting clean looks at the rim in the 2nd half. Better first half than @Temple for sure.

 

[mildone]

We won the half. Now go out and win the next half and job done.

 

[rubjk]

Our d needs to be better.

Our 3 point D continues to be very very good.

 

[bac2therac]

Did Miller see more time than Simpson? Interesting

 

[fluoxetine]

No not miller stop

Why?

Do we even know he’s a bad shooter? How many has he taken?

How do you propose to generate offense with guards who aren’t allowed to take wide open 3s?

 

[Joey Bags]

Will we ever be good at fast breaks or layups? Like ever?

Lol we were great on the break the past 3 years. We lost a lot of speed this year.

 

[mildone]

Nice to see Caleb flying around so quickly off the injury. Would imagine the emphasis is on stopping them from getting clean looks at the rim in the 2nd half. Better first half than @Temple for sure.

I’d like to see us get a 15 point lead and let him rest his legs.
