Basketball No. 25 Rutgers Basketball rolls past Wagner 75-52

[mildone]

Rebounding is lots better than against St. Peter’s. But they are a bigger team, yes?

 

[koleszar]

Derkack what's his deal with dribbling into trees and getting lost in the forest? You're the glue guy my man, not the primary scorer.

 

[Scangg]

This team misses Ace. Shocker.

 

[RUby RED]

Dercack the ultimate hustle guy. Gonna be a plus whether he’s scoring or not

 

[BeantownKnight]

8 minute drought for Wagner.

We're playing the Washington Generals.

 

[gmay8]

Would love it if our offense looked better

 

[bac2therac]

20-0 run in almost 11 minutes

 

[BillyC80]

Gotta love the confidence and poise of Dylan, knowing he’s gonna finish on the break. So great to have those qualities for RU.

 

[BOCA93]

20-0 run in almost 11 minutes

And probably should be a 35-0 run with some better decisions

 

[RUsojo]

Gotta love the confidence and poise of Dylan, knowing he’s gonna finish on the break. So great to have those qualities for RU.

In the scenario where we are all very happy about regular season results, Dylan could definitely win NPOY and be first team all American. He’s just got it all at this level

 

[RUsojo]

Hayes, I will repeat all year, clear best offseason acquisition for this team.

 

[Nycrusupporter]

We should have poached RJ Green, he is better than Ogbole

 

[AreYouNUTS]

@RutgersRiotSquad can you please ask the dude in the neon sweatshirt, front row, to buy a freakin red t-shirt? Thx!

....oh and ask him to put his phone away for 5-freakin' seconds lol!

 

[BillyC80]

Having shooters feels so good. Ace, Dylan, Martini, Hays, Lathan, and the scoring ability of JWill and Acuff.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Hayes, I will repeat all year, clear best offseason acquisition for this team.

Oh...we know you will....and even if it isn't the case (I couldn't care less either way who "is" or "isn't" the "best" so long as they all do what they were brought here to do....) you'll try to convince us all that you're right!

 

[bac2therac]

Slow start but dominant last 15...probably should be up even more

Cant argue

 

[tm_nj]

36 points in the first half against any opponent! I have to pinch myself to see if I am dreaming haha

 

[mildone]

I’m happy to see the better attention paid to rebounding by all the players. That’s a good and necessary correction from the SP game.

I assume you mean St Johns... who were elite offensive rebounding team under Pitino last year. But yes I mean it better be better against freaking Wagner

 

[RUinOhio]

Somerville looks good. Ogbole never even came back in

 

[shields]

Davis made two straight foul shots. That is good.

 

[BillyC80]

Pretty satisfying. On ball D looks good. Some sloppiness offensively, to be expected game one. And all this with a lottery pick on the bench!

 

[Scangg]

Trend with this game and the scrimmage. Slow start. Offense looks questionable. Defense locks down. Offense all of a sudden scores in bunches

Now just work on faster starts and limiting those scoring struggle stretches

Honestly, one of favorite players so far.

 

[Scangg]

Story of the game so far. Likely doesn't happen with Ace in. Went to him more offensively and he delivered. Massive confidence boost too

TBD how he will look against a B1G though so trying to not get too excited and we likely see ups and downs as a big man frosh

 

[chase_NJ]

Hayes' release is crazy quick.

 

[knight82]

Free throw shooting should not be an issue this year

 

[sct1111]

Being super picky here but haven't really seen any great passing ability from Dylan. Zero assists in the first half against Wagner and only 1? against st. Johns.

 

[czxqa]

 

[BillyC80]

The maturity and poise for Dylan cannot be overstated. Wow.

 

[365Poster24Seven]

Early start definitely had an effect on attendance. The students must be studying for a huge test tomorrow. I never missed a game test or not.

 

[RRRRUUUU]

1. I am pretty sure he (Mag) held out last year
2. I am saying there is a small chance Ace is holding out. When a coach says a team is healthy and then a player sits out I would think that could raise a warning flag.

This is ridiculous, with all due respect. He’s not risking a $50mm contract next year for some redbull money. None of those guys you mentioned had a $50mm payday on the come.

 

[fatsam98]

Pike always goes back to the starting 5 for second half. Interested to see if he gives EO another shot

 

[BillyC80]

Wagner can score. I expect them to come out strong in the second half. Need to see if Pike has our guys ready to match their intensity and push the lead further.

 

[Loyal_2RU]

Me like me some Acuff. My favorite of the non starters so far

Not Lathan?

Agree. 9 pts &. 5 boards in the half, great half

 

[Scangg]

It's pretty unlikely EO is benched for the entire game. Pike was feeding the hot hand. Something he actually hasn't done historically with more seemingly robotic rotistions in previous seasons

 

[koleszar]

Ogbole playing his way to maybe 5 mins. a game.

 

[bac2therac]

Egbole is not a player at this level imo
