- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Another half, another slow start lol (okay, relax, just having some fun with it right now...). Anyway:
FT's 10-18 (Harper 1-5)
14-30 from the field
4-15 from 3
.....chalking it up to "1st game jitters."

Two things that make me insane as a sports fan.
My baseball team pitchers issuing walks.
My basketball team missing foul shots.
It's only two players with 7 of the 9 misses. Ogbole 0-2 to be expected and his minutes will be cut/ Harper 5 of the misses that should be easily corrected. The rest of the team is 9 of 11.
I think this team is going to be very fun to watch & very rootable all year long. Yes we've missed free throws, but I see a team sharing the rock, playing Defense and being aggressive. It's not just a defense only team, buta team with defensive mindset & plays aggressive all around.
There is just so few bad shots in this game.
FG 19-37 51.4% despite 3pt 4-16
15-21 from 2pt
So efficient

I know its wagner but dylan’s unbelievably advanced for a true frosh. This team is fun to watch
This resembles a low pass completion % rationale when receivers are dropping balls. I get your point though.
JMike needs to stop hoisting up 3s. Let Hayes play that role
Exciting to see so many RU players who shoot well, with good form, even when they miss. I need to remind myself that this is not close to the level of competition the team will need to beat to get to the tournament, let alone make a deep run in the tournament.
he had a 1 more pass to hays on the previous possession that he missed. finally hit him on the last one and what do you know, a 3
When I saw the 53% I gasped as well. Then saw besides Ogbole/Harper the rest of team was 9 for 11 it's really not that bad. As you expect Harper to do better and Ogbole will not play much, he's that bad.
We will need him against teams like Indiana with monster dominate 5's
with a hot Ace, this team is going to be a very tough out for the very best teams.
Well, Lathan has secured himself as the starter moving forward.
Looked like Pike was chewing him out on the bench after he got the hook early second half
Another thing to like about Hayes is his strengths and weakness is gonna be the same every game. You get what you get with him regardless of opponent by and large. With a little wiggle room whether it’s Wagner or Sparty.
That’s going to be very different this year when it comes to martini dercack and Lathan too. Just can’t take as much from a game like this from those guys. The level of competition and athlete is too steep a drop off from Wagner to our conference opponents.
Like Howard and Akron for football, don’t get too excited from what you see from those guys yet. They are a wait and see.
