Basketball LIVE GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Drexel

[DennisHajekRC84]

And only 2 rebounds.... McConnell, Mathis, and Harper each have 3.

He was on the bench at 15 mins left until like 3?

 

[cubuffsdoug]

We're back to shooting like crap. 28.6% from three, 38.1% from two.

Missing some easy buckets is piss poor.
The 3 pt numbers are misleading. Rutgers is 2-7.

 

[BillyC80]

Good D and good three to start the second half.

 

[bac2therac]

Nice run..led by defense. Have to play under control tho.

 

[BillyC80]

Geo bailed out Montez.

 

[FrankZ]

Thank you Mathis

 

[kcg88]

These runouts aren't gonna be there against Big Ten teams. Disappointing that we need them so badly against Drexel.

 

[bac2therac]

Survive and advance

 

[bac2therac]

Sf Austin about to beat Niagara 84-73

 

[BillyC80]

Need to open up the lead here. Can’t let Drexel gain confidence again.

 

[zebnatto]

Last thought I had before checking the board and first post I saw lol.

And Shaq D.

 

[RutgHoops]

The two players I can recall who put up the ugliest double figure scoring games consistently are Dane Miller and Montez Mathis

 

[BillyC80]

Kwasi! Much needed.

 

[koleszar]

Geo may be MIA again in scoring but he's playing one helluva game on D.

 

[BillyC80]

Paul with another good board.

 

[cubuffsdoug]

Rutgers' big men never look good in games against small schools. Those teams lack size and play a perimeter game. The bigs can never get into the flow of the game at both ends because they are out of sync.

 

[sct1111]

What's with McConnell?

 

[FrankZ]

BTN+ incessant technical difficulties

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers letting DREXEL hang around

Still concerned with offense if not in transition..its just bombs away from 3

 

[BillyC80]

Tez should not dribble unless it’s a breakaway.

 

[RUChoppin]

Missing some easy buckets is piss poor.
The 3 pt numbers are misleading. Rutgers is 2-7.

Still shooting 28.6%... now 4-14

 

[bac2therac]

Drexel is pretty cold shooting..ru needs to build this lead before they get hot again

 

[ScarletDave]

That guy who just called the travel .. with the haircut he does himself with safety scissors ... absolutely HATES RU can’t we put in with the big ten who we don’t want/complaints about refs .. do we? Ever? Seems the same ones have been taking it to us for years. Why do we let them back into the RAC

 

[BillyC80]

Will we see Peter Kiss?

 

[Degaz-RU]

15-40 FG
4-14 on 3-pt

Against Drexel.

 

[kcg88]

So sick of watching Mathis overpursue and playing catch-up when the guy drives right by him.

 

[BillyC80]

Geo gives us a bucket when we need it.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

FT shooting is strong thus far: 11-12 right now.

 

[BillyC80]

Myles makes both!

 

[FrankZ]

Myles 2 FTs. Speechless

 

[ScarletDave]

They are playing like they are trying to hang on. Too tight. If we somehow go up 12-14, I think we loosen up and run away by 20+

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Can't shoot

 

[sct1111]

Offense is so stagnant.

 

[cubuffsdoug]

Still shooting 28.6%... now 4-14

Now they are chucking and ducking. Why must we play other teams style?

 

[kcg88]

Drexel's drive/pass and kick game is so much better than ours. Pikiell should be embarrassed.

 

[gmay8]

This is putrid

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Can't defend 3s

Hate to say it but it looks like a bad basketball team.

It's no coincidence to struggle so badly against low level teams like Drexel and Bryant

Going to be a long season

 

[njrexguy]

Painful to watch this.

 

[koleszar]

We have a bad team.

 

[BillyC80]

Why did Geo back off there?
