Basketball LIVE GAME THREAD: RHoops vs. Hofstra
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Well this offense got ugly real quick. Time to change this line up.
mathis miss 2 ft and bad foul by young, pretty poor last 3 minutes by RU
they will need to pick up their game offensively in the 2nd half

Don't mind it, as I'm hoping the 2nd half is something more then just a walk through.
Terrible last few minutes. This game shouldn't be within 20 points.
RU couldnt do anything right offensively late..wow 1-10 is awful, mathis and young missing chippies, missing free throws
defense looks great but geez

Watched the last few min of the 1st half and didn’t see RU score once. Ugly on O.
its a game where Hofstra if they come out and hit some shots early all of a sudden its just a two possession game and they can get confident so as usual the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half are huge, does RU want to win this easy but shutting the door on Hofstra in those 5 minutes or do they want to do it the hard way and have to grind it out
gonna take devils advocate on this.. I like that we had that slump. Some of these guys needed an injection of humility.. and hopefully that pays off in the 2nd half. Also.. playing that tough a D probably cost you something on the offensive end.
RU went from 11-18 shooting to 12-28, 8 turnovers is just too many
on the positive side they are holding Hofstra to just 8-35 shooting...22.5% and just 2-15 from 3

Nice halftime piece on the RAC from BTN
Mulcahy providing zero on offense and not even being considered to be an option to me is a problem, that problem is compounded when your inside guys are not serious threats either so RU is left with just Harper, Mathis and Young to score and with Harper sitting the last 6 minutes, that removes the 3 position from the offensive equation...relying on just two guys to score is not a good proposition,
The halftime piece last game was nice too. All of a sudden the backstories are interesting.
Rutgers offense against the zone defense needs improvement prior to playing Syracuse .Mulcahy needs to generate some offense from the top of the key or Harper needs to be posted at that spot .for a short jumper or drive to the basket.
Ya, Mulcahy is def too pass heavy. Makes him a bit predictable.
But I'm not going to start making these type of conclusions off a "bad" first half which see's us up 11.
