Basketball Rutgers Basketball holds off Saint Peter's with late defensive surge

[bac2therac]

Have to go to our ticket rep to see who the game day entertainment director is. It’s so bush league.

Has to be the same football guy tonight

 

[fatsam98]

One of those games where RAC isn't gonna let them lose. Crowd is great

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Here we go. Let's see how Ogbole does.

You are obsessed over 1 player. What is wrong with you?

 

[RocktheRac]

Different PA guy tonight

 

[RUeric]

Just burned again by an absolutely basic screen on the wing. No idea why Dekack is sagging 4 feet back from the screen. They are going to continue to make 3's if we don't guard them.

 

[Scangg]

Ogbole better stint in 2nd half. Rim protection, rebounding, a dunk (finally), and a smart decision to not force up a shot and kick it out for an open 3

 

[bac2therac]

SHUT THE SCOREBOARD OFF

 

[Scangg]

You are obsessed over 1 player. What is wrong with you?

He's a troll. One of the few on ignore

 

[Scangg]

Thatta boy Ogbole. Aggressive attacking the board and showing off that leaping ability we have heard of. He needs to play like that

 

[mildone]

Don't disagree with anything you're saying. But we're now no longer in preseason, and we're ranked 24. Even if we weren't ranked, St. Peters is a low mid-major team and should not be bullying us on our own court.

Definitely shouldn’t be bullying our guys. Not at home or anywhere, That’s hopefully some youth showing.

That’s the downside of one and done players. They don’t get much time to develop composure against teams being very physical. A senior is obviously gonna be more prepared for that than a freshman.

 

[mildone]

Better D this half.

 

[RUeric]

Much more physical and aggressive coming out of the half. Message was obviously sent.

 

[Scangg]

Team looks more focused on offense. It was a bit frantic and messy first half. More flow now

 

[knight82]

Ogbole gets ripped deservedly on this board but he has played well early in the second half

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Ogbole better stint in 2nd half. Rim protection, rebounding, a dunk (finally), and a smart decision to not force up a shot and kick it out for an open 3

And all the haters are silent. There is nothing wrong with pointing out player mistakes but when that same player makes multiple good plays it should be acknowledged.

 

[mildone]

The U R chant needs work.

 

[BOCA93]

#15 and #35 getting away with hip checks on the high screen all game. SP should have like 30 fouls by now

 

[BillyC80]

I think we play better D with the student section at our backs.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

anybody know what the scattered stars, throughout the state of New Jersey on the back of the warm-up T-shirts, represent? Thank you.

 

[ClassOf02]

They are mugging Dylan.

 

[chase_NJ]

LOL Ace knows exactly where the camera is.

If so, then Pike should be working the refs.

 

[bac2therac]

Lotta fouls for Peahens

 

[Scangg]

And all the haters are silent. There is nothing wrong with pointing out player mistakes but when that same player makes multiple good plays it should be acknowledged.

We should all be rooting for him. We need him against bigger 5's

 

[RUeric]

In the bonus at the 15 minute mark. Let's see if the refs swallow their whistles.

 

[knight82]

Just let Dylan Harper take this game over. He's by far the best player on the floor

 

[Scangg]

Love Derkack coast to coast

 

[chase_NJ]

Derkack is so much better than I was expecting.

 

[BillyC80]

Good hands by three guys on that breakout

 

[RU MAN]

Through the first 6 minutes of the second half, SP has scored 6 points. Now, that is what I call defense. About time. But now we need to keep the pressure on and run away with this game.

 

[seansherm]

Ogbole won the summer workouts belt right when they started practicing. He was very amped up and yelling "Who is gonna take this from me?" Apparently everyone.

You will probably feel dumb when you realize we've probably outscored St. Peters by 15 in the minutes Ogbole has played. Also, the clog the paint, don't pass out role has been taken by Somerville thus far, not EO who everyone thought would do it.

Could people post scores from time to time ...

 

[bac2therac]

Dont like Acuff this far

 

[29PAS]

Geo doing a good job on the radio.

 

[ClassOf02]

Not sure about this lineup right now.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Lol he made his first shot of the season. Incredible!

 

[bac2therac]

Wtf he wasnt shooting

Wake up

 

[RU MAN]

Could people post scores from time to time ...

53-48 Rutgers with 14 minutes to play.

 

[Rutgers25]

Acuff has shown me nothing. Don’t see any intangibles

 

[bac2therac]

Dont like Acuff this far

Now i do
