Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers vs. Seton Hall in Garden State Hardwood Classic

[Scarlet83]

Davis is a very good defensive player.Rutgers played a very good first half getting contributions from many players.Three point baskets are the reason Rutgers is ahead by 8 points at half time.

3 point baskets and very good defense.

 

[FastMJ]

I think it bears repeating— this team just seems more “whole” with Mag in the lineup.

They ARE

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

RU better ball movement in that half

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Mag is our on the floor vocal leader this team has desperately lacked this year. He was also the same guy that led the turn around last year from 6-4 to 16-7.

 

[BillyC80]

No Pikes a good coach who ripped everyone a new one and demanded everyones 150% effort if they didn’t want to ride the bench.

Yeah, that too

 

[Degaz-RU]

I like starting JMike over Simpson. JMike plays much better defense and is a better rebounder, and he doesn’t dribble around on offense as much. He gets to the tin too - if he could only finish.

 

[RUinOhio]

FIFY

ya def know who you're referring to but he wasn't entirely alone. Mag was just getting into his grove when he got hurt. was breaking out his last few games. was ridiculous to say he wasn't a huge loss

 

[RuSnp]

Griffiths looks a lot more energetic defensively tonight. Took a charge. Had a nice block from behind. He might be one of those guys where his o feeds his d.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Woolf looks a lot more aggressive on the glass tonight. Pike clearly read him the riot act about his lack of rebounding.

 

[runner3283]

3 point baskets and very good defense.

7 3 pt baskets in first half

 

[Plum Street]

good half
Finish it

I’m a big fan of JMike. He gives you everything he’s got. Those shots will start to fall, and when they do, we’ll need him out there for even more minutes. Pretty good for a true freshman.

 

[RUJMM78]

Hopefully. Rutgers will score more than 60 points

Jimike doesn’t waste time getting up court. Simpson plays with the defender advancing the ball to center court then dribbles to find a pass/shooter. Jmike passes to open up a dribble/shooter.

Hyatt!!

 

[koleszar]

Hyatt you beautiful bastard.

 

[tm_nj]

[Scarlet83]

7 3 pt baskets in first half

I know!!! Gavin had 3!! And we played very good defense too.

 

[G- RUnit]

Foul shooting differential ridiculous

 

[RUinOhio]

WOW

 

[njxchange]

heeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[RU848789]

when was the last time RU was 9-16 from three? And very nice to see Davis get off the schneid on offense, as he's been playing stellar D.

 

[jkernpop]

Cliff SWAT team. And a party from deep!

 

[tfio]

NOW THATS A START

 

[bac2therac]

Let's Gooooooo!

 

[tm_nj]

a fast start in a half 😳 OMG

 

[Joey Bags]

DAMN

 

[njxchange]

whats scary is... i just dont want it to be - live by the 3 and die by the 3 team.

 

[rtabachk]

I don’t miss them. They only worked about 40% of the time

The crowd would literally explode every time it happened. They generated a lot of energy which definitely benefited us.

 

[dudehimself3]

Of course Hyatt missed a bunny but still worked out lol

 

[robjknight]

NOW THATS A START

someone asked for a good start to the second half. I guess they heard him in the locker room.

 

[mikebal9]

Mag changes every single aspect of this team.

 

[rubjk]

Maybe Pike didn’t tell a lie about the pace and 3 point shooting. Maybe it was based off the defensive hustle that was sub par. What d’ya think armchair coaches?

 

[njxchange]

next game give me Starting Lineup of

PG - JDAVIS
SG - GAVIN
SF - HYATT
PF - MAG
C - CLIFF

1st off bench
NOAH

[rubjk]

Mag changes every single aspect of this team.

As does effort and hustle.

 

[njxchange]

sissy foul called

 

[mikebal9]

As does effort and hustle.

And Mag spearheads that.

 

[BillyC80]

Thank you JMike

 

[mikebal9]

Davis with the RHJ fadeaway.

 

[dudehimself3]
