RU vs Turtle People Game Thread

[motorb54]

Is their 3 pointer % better than our foul shot % ?

 

[RU848789]

MD: 8-17 from three and 8-12 from the line
RU: 3-9 from three and 5-12 from the line

Simple game, really - they just shoot better. The rest of the game is basically even.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Maryland woke up

No. Yes. We are breaking down, but they aremaking plays. Very frustrating. It as if we are tired

 

[80RU]

A couple of unforced turnovers and their hitting four of seven from three in the second half just changed the complexion so fast. I can't wait till we have shooters that will turn our explosiveness into points.

 

[bac2therac]

Freeman disappearing act

 

[RUJMM78]

This has been a game of runs which clearly favors Maryland because they have 3 point shooters.54-41.,11 minutes to go.

 

[bac2therac]

ill advised 3 point shooting..please stop it

 

[bac2therac]

No. Yes. We are breaking down, but they aremaking plays. Very frustrating. It as if we are tired

we arent tired..thats an excuse,. we arent as good

 

[80RU]

I posted before that Sa has lost his poise and his form has broken down. Something has got to be done to get him back

 

[RU Mike73]

Sa is lost

 

[RU848789]

Game over, unfortunately. We just don't have the firepower to come back from 17 down. Shooting, shooting, shooting.

 

[bac2therac]

1 point by Sanders and cold Williams with 2 points aint gonna cut it

 

[G- RUnit]

Amazing how many good shots Williams misses. So frustrating .

 

[RuWishBone]

we can rebound can't shoot that is what we got we need a diaper dandy with the runs in him

 

[RU848789]

14 fouls on MD, 8 on RU - odd that nobody is complaining about the disparity, lol...

 

[RU848789]

Could be a little messy on the court...

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I said it is as if we are tired. Step slow defensively. Whenever the pace of play increases our defense goes down a notch. Sanders playing too many minutes.

 

[bac2therac]

Goodnight Irene

 

[RUJMM78]

Front court offense needs major improvement at every position.Sanders and Johnson only offensive threats tonight.Maryland 60-46.

 

[bac2therac]

Front court offense needs major improvement at every position.Sanders and Johnson only offensive threats tonight.Maryland 60-46.

in other words besides Sanders, we need upgrades at all positions to compete in this league

 

[bac2therac]

7-18 is absolutely piss poor..thats something that this team can control...no excuse in the world

 

[RU848789]

Goddamn it, more missed FTs and not taking advantage of great defense and rebounding. If I were a shooter, I'd really want to play with these guys.

 

[bac2therac]

cannot fault effort and heart at all...makes this team fun to root for besides the other warts

 

[bac2therac]

wtf was that foul Freeman

 

[bac2therac]

made up for it with the slam

 

[shields]

Damn foul shots!!!

 

[RUJMM78]

8-21 foul line.Its beyond belief.60-51 Maryland.Rutgers is hanging in there .

 

[RU848789]

10-2 run to go from 58-41 to 60-51. Not quite over and it could be 60-56 if we could shoot, lol.

 

[Rutgers25]

Team has heart but can't shoot straight. Can't believe how horrific the shooting is...

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Geez. These guys don't give up. Respect that 200 percent

 

[xkiesterx]

I love this team. We play so hard and do everything it takes no talent to do.

We can't shoot, we're going to have to live with that for now. Just enjoy a team that is easy to root for.

 

[RUTrack94]

Just checking in ... Down by 11 ... If hit all free throws, up by 2

 

[RU848789]

Even at 14-21 (67%) instead of 8-21, we'd only be down 60-57.

 

[greenknight]

Nigel couldn't hit a Swimming pool
And fing suck on the line

 

[RU Mike73]

Love the effort by these guys. Just have to make more hoops.

 

[eckoloco]

Ugggggh

 

[G- RUnit]

Geeze Johnson too... all we need is one more scorer.., anybody...

 

[80RU]

Very bad call on the Sa block-- tough call on the Stokes offensive foul

 

[bac2therac]

there was a lapse in defense the last few minutes of the first half until maybe the 10 minute mark of the game. Thats the difference along with the foul shooting and lack of 3 point shooting.

Besides that RU defense has been very very good tonight, better than Marylands

 

[greenknight]

I don't understand how they cannot hit foul shots. They should be shooting foul shots for hours or they RUN and don't stop running until they make them

Pathetic
