Basketball LIVE GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Bryant

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Up by seven or eight and it’s the first game. Jitters folks. I’m usually the one out on a ledge but relax!

 

[Scarlet Shack]

His form is really bad

Needs legs in his foul shot

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I completely agree, however that's contingent on if we could shoot.

1) nerves on our part early

2) we can’t stop anyone from hitting 3’s...still

 

[RutHut]

This game is as crisp as a hard boiled egg.

 

[kcg88]

Bryant is 6/20... 30%. That's not actually good it just seems that way compared to us.

 

[nikoru09]

this is what prevents us from taking the next step...we leave points at the foul line, and still can't shoot 2's, and 3's consistently.....so, shitty bryant can stay in the game by hitting threes...i know it's the 1st game, but we need to really focus, or the same 14-17, season will happen once again,,,,yeboha. has a nice shot
he shoots foul shots well also...it seems they go hand, in hand....it's frustrating to watch...especially the brick ft's

Bryant is 6-20 from 3-pt range. We’re doing fine defending the three.

 

[BillyC80]

May need to double up on Grant. Or put Caleb on him. And tell whoever covers him - do not let him get a shot off from 3. Shut him down and we pull away.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Shooting at the half is fine outside of Baker and Harper, who are a combined 2-13. The rest of the team is 12-23. Baker and Harper are not going to shoot 16% this year. RELAX.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Based on the first10 minutes of the first game....I am revising my prediction to 2-29 for the season.

 

[RU Mike73]

Pike must be reading this board. Pretty sure he’s in locker room telling team they are terrible, can’t shoot 3’s, can’t shoot FT’s and haven’t improved at all defending the 3. Now get out there and do better.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Need to put Young in him. JY is soooo quick on defense.

 

[kcg88]

Horrible turnover, then Mathis stuffs himself at the rim, then we allow a 3. What a start.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Another RU tea that SUCKS coming out at the half lol...WE NEED AN ATHLETIC SHRINK!!!

 

[RutHut]

Good thing we got rid of Gene with these flop calls.

 

[bac2therac]

What is our purpose on offense

I think we should pound the ball to Myles

 

[koleszar]

Nice the Flop rule already comes into play.

Sucks??

 

[colbert17]

I'll take the over!!!!

 

[RutHut]

Strange no kick.

 

[mikemarc1]

Good to be benefited by brutal officiating for once

 

[BillyC80]

Looked like 0 is grabbing Myles!

 

[FrankZ]

Nice call on Bryant there

 

[BillyC80]

Yes, like the intensity by Pike.

 

[BillyC80]

That was not a travel.

 

[FrankZ]

Mulcahy in. Good

 

[sct1111]

I thought Harper was going to be all conference this year. He looks terrible so far.

 

[BillyC80]

Kwasi with two FTs. We need that example.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

I thought Harper was going to be all conference this year. He looks terrible so far.

I agree, he needs to transfer down a level...lol

 

[koleszar]

Well that was a complete WTF series by Young. Missed dunk, turnover pass just missed the trifecta on that one.

 

[RU Mike73]

Nice stroke by Young on FT

 

[FrankZ]

Oh Young. Geo with the salvage

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Missed dunk on a breakaway lol

 

[RutHut]

Bumblin Stumblin Fumblin

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Sucks??

Hyperbole...It’s something I’ve been tracking for a couple of years and it’s a problem.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

And ANOTHER 3.,,,

 

[RU82]

I agree, he needs to transfer down a level...lol

Nah, just needs a redshirt year.

 

[kcg88]

And ANOTHER 3.,,,

Their average three point shooting looks like it's the best in the country compared to ours.

 

[FrankZ]

2-11 from 3. Should have appreciated Douby more when we had him. Or Coleman yr 1.

:flush:

I must've told you a million times by now to stop exaggerating.
