Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers Basketball defeats Georgetown 71-60

[RU82]

Fernandes suddenly playing like a guy fighting for his job.

 

[knight82]

Someone lit a fire under Noahs butt

Tons of energy

I'm betting Pike had a little talk with him at halftime. Remember when we used to say Pike usually wins halftime?

 

[Degaz-RU]

If Pike was smart, he would leave in the same five guys

 

[shields]

4 games into season people giving up on the kid.

 

[RU Mike73]

Time to run the Fighting Cooleys out of the RAC/JMA

 

[GRU23]

Don't write any of these guys out 3 games into a season. Let them figure it out, they've shown me that they care enough that I'll bet on them being good.

 

[RAC93]

With Fernandes arriving here in 2nd half, the guards have carried their own weight tonight. Good pressure D from them also.

 

[njxchange]

oh man....

 

[Scangg]

Noah finally looking like the player he was supposed to be. Hopefully this is his break out. The confidence is back. Effort on defense and rebounding too. Just looks engaged and locked in all of a sudden

If we can get good Noah plus JMike, the guard play is starting to look much better with Simpson also making some plays. Simpson is knocking down FTs, hit a big 3, nice drive for a goaltending call and that inbound pass to Hyatt for the 3 was excellent

 

[njxchange]

I love that Cliff and Wolf standing tall... LOL

 

[knight82]

Noah has a little bit of Mike Williams in him as a rebounding guard

 

[BillyC80]

Our D is STELLAR.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Lets find the killer instinct now

Maybe put Fernandes on the bench and not play him.... 😂 😂 😂

 

[toby83]

I'm not sure if witnessing our really good defense or their really bad offense

 

[RUinOhio]

Rutgers D wears em down

 

[knight82]

Maybe put Fernandes on the bench and not play him.... 😂 😂 😂

I think he was gassed. Still getting back into playing shape

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Noah has now hit 4-straight 3's (okay...2 didn't count). Unfortunately 1 he travelled and the other was after the whistle on a foul lol....oh well!

 

[bac2therac]

Geez Gavin at line

Didnt have that as an issue

 

[bac2therac]

21-6 run over 13 minutes

 

[FrankZ]

7-15 FTs 🤦‍♂️

 

[RU Mike73]

RU FT’s just 7 for 15 again. Uuuggghhh

 

[Joey Bags]

Defense has been stout through this scoring lull

 

[zebnatto]

Should be up 25.

 

[Degaz-RU]

We’re stuck on 54. Team is so streaky.

WTF with GG 0-3 on FTs

 

[bac2therac]

Noah wanted to provide you with evidence

I hope he saw this thread

Looks like a totally different player this half

 

[Shell21]

goodness free throws. gavin, cliff and wolf 0-8 combined. gross

 

[dudehimself3]

Scoring droughts will kill us in conference play

 

[RUinOhio]

Lot of time left

 

[knight82]

Gavin looked really smooth and confident from the line prior to tonight. I wonder what happened

 

[bac2therac]

Fernandes suddenly playing like a guy fighting for his job.

As he should

Great to see him step up

 

[Rutgers25]

Good to see some confidence from Noah. Let’s hope that continues.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

In the 2nd half
4-5 from 3 and 0-4 from the line 🙃

 

[RAC93]

4 games into season people giving up on the kid.

People were not giving up on him, just saying he needs to play better and that JMike should grab his minutes as he’s looked better. They need Noah, so let’s hope his game continues to come around as it is in 2nd half.

 

[BOCA93]

GG leaving a lot of points at the line tonight

 

[mildone]

I hope he saw this thread

The absolute last thing any of our players need is to see any internet or social media posts.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

The continued horrendous foul shooting by this program is frankly unacceptable. It is such a fundamental factor in winning and losing it makes me pull my hair out.
Missed layups a close 2nd. Zero focus on the shots. Just winging the ball at the rim.n

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

In this game you can what this team will be on defense. The on ball pressure by Fernandes, Simpson and Davis will be a big plus. Last year's perimeter length is being replaced by perimeter speed and pressure.

 

[njxchange]

Gavin looked really smooth and confident from the line prior to tonight. I wonder what happened

I think as he plays more and more, he will be alot more consistent with all aspects of his game. right now I think he will keep giving us good and bad games as freshman..

 

[knight82]

The absolute last thing any of our players need is to see any internet or social media posts.

I think their friends and family read this though

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

YEAH¡¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(((((
