Basketball INSTANT RECAP: Rutgers Basketball blankets Rider 76-46

That's not what I said at all lol. Coaches don't coach players to force it. When a player forces it, that is on the player. Players make poor decisions. It happens. Pike isn't controlling a players every move and decision

So I guess you didn't see the difference between the halves in post play. Where and how Cliff got the ball and what he did . Geez. Maybe the coach actually said something at the half.
You do know those things can be said on the bench during the game too?
Of course they don't control every move. But they do nip it in the bud when they see it.

The Aiden Terry era has begun . . .

Just one thought....Simpson dribbles a little too much. Needs to get and keep the ball moving.

 

[fluoxetine]

It likely isn't that hard to find a stat Einstein. Like your opinion doesn't stink lol. Take another pill and relax.

If you think it’s easy to find our scoring margin in the last five minutes… why don’t you do it? You’re the one posting this stupid claim in the first place and bitching about coaching in the game thread of a game we won by 30. Take a lap clown.

 

[ScarletteK80]

What a nice relaxing game. Good game gents.

At this point with his build he isn’t strong enough to really be a main ball handler. He’s good attacking off the catch at least

 

[ScarletteK80]

Thanks so much for your permission. I'm retired so perhaps I'll get a boner and take a look for us.

Guys, relax.

Don’t ever play at the Mohegan Sun again.
Or any empty venue like Northwestern playing Liberty in Cancun right now.
Just an awful environment and atmosphere

I’d agree but it’s the only way we can get any team to agree to play us in the noncon

I’d rarger play Temple on their home court than an empty echoing gym

 

[Rokodesh]

Nice bounce back. Love a great defensive effort

 

[RUsojo]

Hard to know what to think of this team so far. Woofolk is a pleasant surprise.

 

[jtung230]

Great to see Austin Johnson working for BTN

 

[RUTrack94]

Snuck a few minutes in while on vacation, and great to see RU take care of business :).

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

Reiber ain't right...

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I hope @Greene Rice FIG is at the game because this has been an elite defensive effort by 8 guys for 28 minutes.

Very very pleased. Rider got Columbiaed.

 

[RUJMM78]

Austin great on radio with a pro like Jerry,

Gio Baker was with Jerry Recco doing radio broadcast.

If we had Paul and Caleb we would have smoked Temple in any venue

I've only been to a few games. Tonight I got there about 12 minutes into the game because I was coming from work, so I bought a parking pass on Stubhub since I didn't have time to stop to get cash. When I got to the parking lot, there was nobody checking parking. Was parking free and I got ripped off, or was I just so late that the parking attendants weren't there anymore?

late - holiday week.... short staffed

So what is the answer to my question? Was it free today or were they gone by the time I got there? I'm trying to determine if I got swindled by paying for a parking pass for an event that didn't require one.

Nuthin is free

 

[robcac26]

Were either of you even there?

 

[rucoe89]

This team is very capable. It reminds me of the early Pikiell teams that required defense to drive the offense. If they can channel that energy consistently in a game they will be dangerous. I don’t expect them to be that consistent game to game due to youth, but if they are on they will cause any team problems.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Careful on the offense. We will see 100x better defense in the Big 10...Rider is not physical at all

I get the schedule isn't strong right now, but the potential high ceiling of when this team gets healthy and comes together between what Cam and Cliff show already, add a healthy 4th year Paul and 5th year Caleb in the starting lineup will make guys like Hyatt, Mag, Derek, and even Woolf more effective playing against the bench guys of the other teams. Cam's game will translate well vs the B1G and Cliff is an elite 5 minus the inconsistency at the FT line.

That’s what she said.

I don’t know about smoked but we wouldn’t have looked the way we did in the first 10 minutes with all those turnovers. Seeing that we were able to turn that around in the same game with the same personnel, I’m cautiously optimistic that even with our current guys we’ll take better care of the BB going forward. Can’t start that way at Miami.
