Basketball LIVE GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Niagara

[RUtrumpet92]

Listening online... Phi Slamma Jamma with all of these alley oops!

 

[kcg88]

Great performance today but this kind of stuff works against Niagara, not Indiana. Still wish we played a more real team.

 

[Richie O]

37-13 with 1 min left in half.

I’ll take the W, but I hear what you’re saying.

[RUtrumpet92]

Doucoure is easily the most selfish player on the team. If he gets the ball he's shooting.

He is 0-1 thus far according to the online box score. You give the impression he is shooting way more than that.

 

[knightfan7]

Niagara so overmatched

Rutgers all cylinders today

Happy Belated Birthday Bud. I thought you were a bit younger...mid 40's.

 

[bac2therac]

A complete slaughter

And Jacob young bad foul on desperation 3 at buzzer

39-15

Well i look 35:WideSmile:

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Amazing balanced scoring at the half. Three guys with 7, one with 6, two with 5, one with 2.

It's not like we run offense through him. That's for a good reason.

 

[hoquat63]

I'm here, celebrating Rutgers and my birthday!

Are you the Knight

 

[ScarletDave]

I thought leaning into a jumping defender was an offensive foul now .. refs blew that callo

Well considering how horrific performance vs Bryant i will take this

The truth of this this team lies somewhere in between but we wont find out what vicinity til after St Bonnies and Pitt

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

What a way to bounce back after a crap effort on Thursday. Ball movement, rotations, shot selection, everything looks good. Only thing id like to see is us be more physical and assertive on the defensive glass. Weve been a little lazy on our box outs. Also alley oops are nice and all but i hope the success were having with them today doesnt make our guys try this all year, were usually pretty bad at them and attempt way too many of them

 

[RUTrack94]

Liking the score .... B1G time ... go RU!!!!!

 

[Scarlet Shack]

Better ball movement and extra pass

Much better defense ...and much better close outs

 

[kcg88]

Beat them by 10+ in the 2H

 

[sport2231]

Awesome first half. But we have been here before just a couple days ago. Even deeper into 2nd half. A post season team comes out and finishes

 

[zappaa]

Bryant isn’t any better than Niagara.
We just showed up

 

[ru66]

whatever we win by the same guys will be bitching--it's so f'in dumb

 

[BillyC80]

Bryant isn’t any better than Niagara.
We just showed up

Gotta disagree there Zap. We’re shooting better today but Bryant is a much better team.

No..nowhere near like that game

 

[zappaa]

Gotta disagree there Zap. We’re shooting better today but Bryant is a much better team.

Maybe, I’m taking out of my ass when I made that statement...I really don’t know

 

[sport2231]

No..nowhere near like that game

I think you get my point. 20 minutes does not make a game. Let’s see the team come out and maintain or increase this lead and close it out

 

[RUinOhio]

idk if you're right, but I have always hated that play. wish they made the offensive player take a legit shot not that crap.

I thought leaning into a jumping defender was an offensive foul now .. refs blew that callo

 

[RU848789]

Against Bryant, I really thought we played hard for 30 minutes and if we had been shooting even just below average, instead of abysmally, from three and the FT line, we'd have been up by 20+ and maybe they cut it to 10 at best. Yes the last 8 minutes were pretty bad, but it wasn't like the game was a complete dud.

So, I'm not at all surprised to see us play better and shoot better today...

 

[Knight Owl]

When I shoot hoops at the Y and the young superstars show up. I can relate to Niagara.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Very disappointed we only put up 39 in the half.

 

[RU848789]

Really nice to see Geo shooting well...

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Let's get Duocore and Kiss in now for some significant minutes. I'd like to see Mulcahy and Young running PG. Give Geo rest of game off.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

YOOOOOOO GEOOOOO!!!!

 

[soundcrib]

Was that Corey or geo?

 

[Shell21]

Geo feeling it today . Funny how you play with more energy when you see the ball go through the net a few times

 

[Richie O]

 

[RUsojo]

Looking forward to Pitt

 

[kcg88]

We're not as good as this game just like we weren't as bad against Bryant.

That said another Bryant-like performance would've been alarming. Team is much much sharper today.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

Have you ever seen a game 32 minutes in with the foul shooting

Rutgers 2/2
Niagara 2/3

And our only shots in were in the first couple of minutes ?

 

[Richie O]

71-28 lead with 7:21 left to play.

 

[RU#1fan]

Huge difference from Game 1
Let’s keep this going into B1G play !
