RU-CCSU GAME THREAD

[Dpgru]

wow we look very good tonight. In fairness though CCSU may be the worst team we've played short of the opener.

Size wise they do not match up well with RU. Typical NEC type team, small, quick, need to control the ball and shoot well. Tonight they are doing neither thus far. I believe they beat Hartford by double digits ( I could be wrong but I think they did) and - we are playing very well defensively.

 

[Rutgers Rah]

We could win this by 40, but you gotta assume some of their shots will start to fall soon

Students should be at the Rac. Your school is 7-1. It's raining out and nothing else going on. Go out and support your school.. Sheesh

 

[BigLou]

Was wondering who their very tall head coach was till I looked it up- Donyell Marshal. He and Pike shared a big hug before the game

Actually pretty good student turnout it's International Student day. For most it's their first sporting event

 

[ScarletEd]

Doing better these last 4 minutes...29-17

Thanks for giving the score.

 

[Dpgru]

Around the BIG - Mich St up 7 at the half vs Youngstown st and purdue by 26 over Arizona state at the half

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

RU only 5 Turnovers in 1st half.....that pretty much sums it up....

 

[Dpgru]

Unlike earlier in the year RU is clearly showing the deference between us and them. This is what we should be doing to teams like this.

 

[jerzeyguy]

Freeman with the Windmill...

 

[TonyLieske]

Team looks really good tonight. Solid defense and offense.

 

[geoman]

They're having fun. So much fun to root for a team that works hard for the entire game. They're developing a personality and getting a taste for winning. It's obviously the easy part of the schedule but you can see that they're being coached so much better this year.

ASU lost to Kentucky and I thought it was due to Kentucky being great. They are but maybe ASU is a bad team

 

[Dpgru]

Fast break drill

 

[Dpgru]

It has been a while since we have seen this type of game. I know CCSU isn't that good but, as geoman said, they are having fun and playing well

 

[geoman]

63-33 with 8 minutes left. Turning defense into offense. Lots of dunks tonight.

 

[Rokodesh]

Why isn't Laurent playing?

 

[TonyLieske]

Wow, this might be their most complete game of the year so far.

 

[Dpgru]

63 - 33 for those of you who need to know the score

 

[Dpgru]

Laurent has been in the game this half. He is in now

 

[geoman]

Loving all these dunks! 69-35 RU!

 

[Dpgru]

CCSU starting to clear the bench?

 

[Dpgru]

Staying intense even with the big lead. Coach P has them playing with high energy

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Sanders may finally get on the Post Game Conference

 

[FrankZ]

73-35. 65% from the floor.

 

[soundcrib]

Put in Bullock and Diallo!

 

[FrankZ]

Bench emptied

 

[soundcrib]

Not Bullock. Must be in the doghouse?

 

[WhichReligionIsRight]

Our offense rebounds are way off tonight.

--What happens when you shoot 66% FG. [smoke]

 

[FrankZ]

"Best I have seen Rutgers play in person in years." Type of quotes I need from Mr. Announcer.

 

[MikeR0102]

Up by 44? :eek:

 

[RC85]

63 - 33 for those of you who need to know the score

Good score to know-yuuuge.

 

[Dpgru]

Good win 79-37

 

[soundcrib]

Damn. No Bullock.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Our offense rebounds are way off tonight.

--What happens when you shoot 66% FG. [smoke]

Absolutely, Pikiell said, offense rebounds are great....BUT, that means you are missing a lot of shots.

 

[FrankZ]

Bench jumping up and down for the non-regulars on the floor. The thing was as quiet as a church mouse when I sat one row behind it at Minnesota a couple years ago.

 

[RUChoppin]

Good win 79-37

When was the last time we doubled up an opponent?

 

[WhichReligionIsRight]

Gotta say, this win feels really, really, really good. Been on the receiving end of way too many of these. The kids are buying into coach's system.

 

[RC85]

Bullock?

 

[RUinFla]

Wish I could see the game instead of following on ESPN.com. But I am old (flageezer on several sites) and don't do ESPN3. Looks like a nice night for Corey--14 points last time I looked, only one 3 tried, 3 assists, 5 steals, which suggests he is playing some D. Hope Bullock sees some time--you have to think he is thinking maybe elsewhere after the season. Really think he will blossom.
and don't want to see him drop down next year.
