We are trying to coast to the win

I had to get stitched up after a friendly pick up game at the local YMCA. Just part of the game. We were holding the court so I didn’t want to leave until, after a few games, the guys made me leave ‘cause I was bleeding all over everybody. 😀

Last elbow chipping the front teeth did me in for good. We now watch from the couch and comment.

Simpson misses more layups than anyone I’ve ever seen. It’s insane.

 

[robjknight]

COOLEY losing his COOL

I was really hoping Derek improved by alot this year... but looks he hasnt...

 

[Scangg]

It looked like he broke through with a burst of speed to dunk it then slowed down to do whatever that was lol

 

[bac2therac]

9-18 ft

Yeh still not sure that wild brick at the rim in 1st half was a backboard "pass" to GG lol.

Hyatt and Mathis in contention

Hyatt will give him run for his money this year...

 

[Scangg]

2nd half we have seen more Cliff out of the paint with high ball screens... even if they aren't effective it frees up the lane for others

 

[bac2therac]

Very lackadaisical the past 10 minutes

Game not over

 

[RU205]

Sloppy again.

 

[FrankZ]

Knew that 3 was falling with joker announcer begging for it

 

[Rutgers25]

Why does Pike run Gavin on such a short leash? It’s weird

 

[RobotHunter]

How can Fernandes be this bad of a shooter?

 

[zebnatto]

Should have put them away.

 

[miketd1]

Pace of this game feels laboring..

 

[dudehimself3]

Low energy finish here

 

[RU Mike73]

These funks are frustrating.

 

[mugrat86]

If Oskar is terrible on D how would you describe GG?

Not good but Oskar has been here 4 years and GG at least has a shot

Very lackadaisical the past 10 minutes

It’s Rutgers it’s never over in any sport.

 

[BOCA93]

Sleepwalking just like in the 1st half. Making this way more difficult than it needs to be

 

[bac2therac]

Good lord ugly finish

 

[RAC93]

Finish up strong and close this out

 

[Scangg]

56 to 64 points feels like it took 10 min or so

 

[FrankZ]

Hyatt with 2 beauties and hasn’t shot the ball since (sans that last take that didn’t count)

 

[dudehimself3]

Need to stop with Woolfolk and Cliff on the floor at the same time. Pike needs to see things quicker, this is brutal

 

[bac2therac]

I think just 10 points last 11 minutes

Not the biggest fan of Pike substitution habits...
It's actually very f**king annoying

 

[miketd1]

Feels like we’re nursing a flat tire..

 

[bac2therac]

So Gavin and J Mike didnt attempt one shot this half after going combined 8-15 and 19 points

 

[koleszar]

Looking more like they’re just going to try and hang on instead of taking it.

 

[RobotHunter]

Hate to say it but this team is in trouble when the competition ramps us soon. Could get ugly.

 

[Rutgers25]

There is some sort of method to his madness, but agree it is frustrating

 

[Scangg]

I think just 10 points last 11 minutes

You would think that Gavin could be used as a drought breaker

 

[RUby RED]

Simpson brings good energy and has the ability to take over for stretches (as seen last year), but not convinced he’ll ever shoot over 40% from the field in college. Just doesn’t seem like an efficient player

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Georgetown has 20 TOs to 2 assists

 

[RAC93]

So Gavin and J Mike didnt attempt one shot this half after going combined 8-15 and 19 points

That makes no sense as they carried the team in 1st half. Rutgers always manages to provide some head scratchers…that is one for sure.
