[PatrickRU92]

so annoying how every team has shooters!!!!! that guy can shoot the rockl

 

[MikeR0102]

Who got T's?

Nigel Johnson and Syfax when they called the double technical. CJ Gettys shortly after that.

 

[Dpgru]

Right when we were ready to put it away we got chippy and the T's and we let them in it. 56-49 and we just turned it over. Too close with a team like this.

How many people in the building ??????

[TonyLieske]

So much for being a rebounding team.

 

[Abro1975]

58-51 about 6 min left

 

[Abro1975]

This camera feed is awful.

 

[Abro1975]

62-53. Sanders shoots a ball over the backboard, lol.

 

[richthedentist]

At the game this is the first time we look unprepared they have played a zone the whole game and we just do not know how to attack it nor do we have the shooters!!

 

[RedSpartan]

67-53

1:38 to go

 

[MikeR0102]

Freeman with a really nice game.

 

[Abro1975]

RU now pulling away , up 68-56 w less than 2 min left

 

[Dpgru]

Well, at least we can say we have matched last year's win total. Ugly, somewhat troubling, but as they said on the radio, this was like a trap game coming off the high profile Miami game. So, we move on.

 

[RUDave_01]

Lots of effort by Freeman. 22 pts, 10 boards... RU now up by 15 (68-53)

This team needs to attack the hoop and run more motion. 7-1 is a great start.

 

[MikeR0102]

74-56 is the final

No, 72-58

 

[sport2231]

Love it. 7-1

I don't care how pretty it looks, a win is a win for this program. I've watched enough college bball this year to understand you don't with the 7 games you should by accident.

All I can ask for this year is a team that wins when it should, maybe losses 1 it shouldn't, and steals a game or 2 for significantly better opponents. The wildcard will be those EVEN games. How do we do in those??

And not for nothing, spread on this game showed me Even on ESPN, but sometimes It defaults to that

 

[MikeR0102]

I believe the gametracker is wrong. 74-56 is the final score.

BTN Plus had it as 72-58 on the screen.

I stand corrected.

 

[RedSpartan]

No, 72-58

Weird. 74-56 is what the gamecast I was watching said.

 

[SkilletHead2]

The Big Get.

 

[JQRU91]

What I don't get, though, is how far he's fallen off from last year.

I mean, he wasn't a very good outside shooter last year, either, shooting .315 (41/130).... but that's a ton better than .067 (1/15).

It's not just Corey's three-point shot that's off. If you take the threes out of his stats, he's shooting at about a 35% clip. Last year he shot over 48% inside the arc.

 

[goru7]

This is why I caution those getting too optimistic about Conference play...its a flawed team that needs to work hard. It works against lesser teams but we are in trouble against good teams if we arent focused..shot selection is quite poor tonight

It had nothing to do with shot selection. We had 16 uncontested 3 pointers and hit 2. We do not have good shooters but have to keep on practicing because you need to continue to take those shots and improve in your success rate. 6 made 3's tonight makes it a over a 20 point win.

 

[goru7]

We need to stop shooting threes and attack the basket and pound the boards.

Disagree. Have to take wide open threes all day. We still rebound the misses and go to the hole just like Deshawn did down the stretch. Cannot turn down uncontested 3's. Have to get better shooting them. Not great just better

 

[MadRU]

Getting no production from our starting two and three. I will still take 7-1, but some players really have to step up soon.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Freeman with a really nice game.

only on one end.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

It's an easy 25 point win with shooters......83-58. Thiam needs to take more than 3 shots

He can't.

I am starting to think Corey should play the 5 on offense against the zone. I know he is a tougher target to hit in the high post, but he hurts us on the perimeter.
