Basketball LIVE GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Drexel

[FrankZ]

Playing a good song at least

 

[Degaz-RU]

I’m resisting the temptation to draw season long conclusions from just a three game sample size, but two AWFUL offensive performances against low to mid major teams do not bode well for this season.

We still STINK on offense, and are worse on defense.

 

[BillyC80]

Great pass by Caleb there.

And worse rebounding.

Team has regressed. Not much to debate here.

 

[FrankZ]

Layups :flush:

 

[FrankZ]

Thank you Caleb

One thing that stood out to me is McConnell has to be more aggressive on offense. Rutgers needs him to score. He has only taken 3 attempts.

 

[FrankZ]

Technical difficulties again!

We need to run an offense for that to happen. Someone needs to set an off-ball screen he can curl around. There is never any movement like that.

 

[RUz91]

lol btn+ technical difficulties with 2 mins left

 

[koleszar]

NICE BTN . THANKS for the technical difficulty with 1 min. left.

 

[sct1111]

The half court offense is terrible.

 

[bac2therac]

When you don't make the tournament for 30 years you don't create any new fans.

I just hit 50..i was a junior the last time we hit the tourney in 91....the fans from the 70s are getting really old at this point...we lost 30 years of fans

 

[FrankZ]

Get out of this game please (aka Bryant2)

 

[BobRC72]

Definitely not ready for the B1G.

 

[bac2therac]

We better run something good here

It's iso ball

 

[BillyC80]

Looks like Pike has his 9-man rotation. No Duke or Kiss.

 

[bac2therac]

GEO...WOW

Leader

 

[koleszar]

The half court offense is terrible.

Are we even running a half court offense? It looks like street ball.

 

[FrankZ]

Oh wow Geo

 

[BillyC80]

Great jam Geo!

 

[cubuffsdoug]

Duke not playing is more of a product of small ball by the opponent.

Not happening this year.

 

[RUTrack94]

Still tied ... law of averages .... RU will start hitting by threes and Drexel will start missing. If RU missed, a rebound would be nice.

Although I’d like to see RU take some to the basket instead of settling for threes with no one underneath.

Glad to see RU start driving to get the win!!!!!

 

[BillyC80]

Kwasi, gotta make them both dude, especially in the endgame.

 

[AshCatchEm]

Kentucky just lost to Evansville. Why are people getting so upset that we're 3-0?

 

[FrankZ]

Definitely not ready for the B1G.

Lol. Could take awhile

 

[koleszar]

What exactly does Young do well except dribble as fast as he can at the hoop?

 

[bac2therac]

Its not over yet...need to hit free throws

 

[mikemarc1]

Kentucky just lost to Evansville. Why are people getting so upset that we're 3-0?

We have some of the most miserable fans in the country.

Evansville is not Bryant and Drexel.

 

[mikemarc1]

Evansville is not Bryant and Drexel.

And Rutgers isn’t Kentucky.

 

[Randal7]

We have some of the most miserable fans in the country.

Yes. But can ya blame us?

 

[mikemarc1]

Not at all. We are all hungry fir success. But 3-0 is success.

 

[FrankZ]

We have some of the most miserable fans in the country.

Decades of watching miserable basketball doesn’t help

 

[BillyC80]

Needed both of those, thank you Geo.

 

[kcg88]

Kentucky just lost to Evansville. Why are people getting so upset that we're 3-0?

Because we're scoring like 0.85 points per possession against a very bad team (much worse than Evansville)

 

[Degaz-RU]

Kentucky just lost to Evansville. Why are people getting so upset that we're 3-0?

I dunno, maybe because our team looks markedly worse than last year?
