RU vs PSew Game Thread

[bac2therac]

yeah i guess we are supposed to be happy because its only 28-23 and the game is being played at RU's pace but I have the feeling I just saw this game on Wednesday and a few other times this year as well as last year...same type of ugly basketball where RU can knock down a shot or get any traction. Not really feeling too optimistic since its same movie different day

Ugly basketball.

Not the way the game is supposed to be played.

 

[rufeelinit]

Stating the obvious but either we score enough to get close to 60 or we lose.

 

[bowlgoal]

We have no margin for error in any of these games and with penn states ability to score in a hurry, it’s not going to be easy if we get into a hole. 5 points seems like 15.

Thiam has to keep shooting. Not sure why we can’t find a way to set a good enough screen for Sanders? He needs to drive to the basket and if he gets doubled or tripled he has to find an open cutter to the hoop.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Geo misses too many shots.

 

[gigantor1024]

I definitely saw a moving screen on one of those PSU 3 pointers during halftime highlights. What's the point of having rules

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

29% shooting and out rebound 22 to 14. And the usual final couple mins going o get vs. 7pts.

At least we've only got 4 tos and no foul trouble.

Can we go to the guys making shots please...

 

[RUChow]

Sanders was horendous at both ends of the court, but mostly on defense.

 

[RUJMM78]

I believe Thiam is now 0 for, on his last 13 attempts. And Sanders with 0 pts. I think we've hit a new low offensively.

Be patient .It could get worse.

 

[bac2therac]

RU shooting 28,6% 8-28, 2-10 from 3

Sa leading scorer with 7 says it all

outrebounded 22-14

Corey 0-6...zero point total no show today
Thiam 1-7


PSU shooting 42%, 5-12 from 3

where are all the complaints about the refs today lol

 

[bac2therac]

after watching the crapshow womens offense performance and now subjected to this, its quite evident only die hards can watch any of the three major sports at this point at this schools

 

[RUTrack94]

So RU was up 23-21 and PSU scores the last 7? Except for maybe SHU, RU seems to collapse at the end of at least 1 half.

Are you really surprised? It’s been this type of basketball all season. Tough defense, terrible offense.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Dr. Niesmith called and wants his ball back.

And tonight wrestling will be overmatched ... looking like another 0 for weekend

Then why constantly bitch about attendance? You just said it's an unwatchable product yet you complain nobody watches it when we're home.

 

[RU1-Newtown_ Pa]

Show me something in the 2nd half

 

[koleszar]

No they won't, you dope. Plus psu wrestling is #1 in country psu basketball isn't even top 40.

 

[RUTrack94]

RU does have 7 assists and only 3 TO ... and game is still close ... even though on the road, RU will pull it out as the team hits 45% in the 2nd half.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

RAC naming rights thought. The Hooters Center cause we're definitely missing the S. At least they'd be something good to look at ...

 

[Jim_from_RU]

No they won't, you dope. Plus psu wrestling is #1 in country psu basketball isn't even top 40.

Against #1 Penn State? Yeah, they probably will.

 

[RUJMM78]

Based on the January trend its hard to see where/how Rutgers wins another game.It probably would take a opponent scoring less than 55 points and that still might be enough for them to win based on Rutgers woeful offense.Its so sad because the defense has been good enough to have won some of the previous B1G games if only Rutgers had a pulse on offense.

\\Yeah, BUT!!! The Candyman Can!

 

[koleszar]

Read the post again, this time more carefully. He said tonight. I'm not planning on going to the RAC tonight nor are the other 8,000+ fans attending.

 

[RU848789]

Missed dunk, missed jumpers, so frustrating...

 

[Rutgers25]

Impressive brick laying

 

[AreYouNUTS]

6'10" guys who can't even dunk right...ugh...com'on Duke!

 

[koleszar]

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, till they fall off.

 

[RU848789]

Kind of an unlucky held ball at the end of the first half with 1.3 seconds left. Not a realistic scoring chance and that lets PSU get the ball to start the 2nd half.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

This is gonna get out of hand now.

 

[Rutgers25]

I’m a Pikiell fan but he deserves criticism for pursuing a guy like Souf that brings nothing. The offense ineptitude is astonishing

 

[RU848789]

Sanders simply sucks tonight - and I'm generally a big Corey fan. No other way around it.

 

[soundcrib]

Omg the guy just grabbed Corey’s arm. Ridiculous.

 

[RUJMM78]

No Rutgers points yet in the second half.PSU 33-23.

 

[gigantor1024]

I thought it's a foul if you put our hand on the ball carrier. Reeves just smack Sanders arm and no foul call

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Sanders simply sucks tonight. No other way around it.

He sucks period.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

This is why there is NO WAY IN HELL Sanders is "pro" ready. Not even close.

 

[80RU]

Sanders was definitely fouled on that play. Two crap crap calls in a row.

 

[Rutgers25]

Sanders simply sucks tonight. No other way around it.

He is so inconsistent. Way too loose with the ball.

 

[mikemarc1]

Sanders is just brutal overall. He has flashes but not a great player at all
