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

[seansherm]

Thank God for Lathan

??? We've been outscored again since he came on. Now that's not all his fault, but its happened every shift tonight.

Derkack has a tendency to play out of control. He's like Toby Gerhart running to the run.

Yea. Reminds me of a poor man's Mulcahy.

 

[seansherm]

We’re minus 8 with Davis on the floor. I think he’s the only minus.

Pretty sure that Somerville has a negative +\-

Back to bad D

Rutgers 62-61 6:02 left

 

[zappaa]

Wish we had shooters

 

[Randal7]

Why the hell step off the guy with 22 pts?!,!??!?

 

[RU Mike73]

Williams out of control as usual.

 

[robjknight]

We are making Randolph look like an all American

 

[bac2therac]

The turning point was RU up 7 with 14 min and instead of finishing them off...pike took dylan and company out and the pace changed

 

[Rokodesh]

St Peter's passes the ball around better than we do. Cant pull away.

 

[RUeric]

Derkack a step slower than everyone else on D right now. Wide open 3's again.

 

[BOCA93]

The fact that Randolph keeps getting open looks at 3 is just pathetic. Put a defender on this guy FFS

 

[ClassOf02]

Around the 10 minute mark, SPU had only 6 points this half. Since then, 13 points in 4 minutes.

 

[RocktheRac]

He slipped all last year alao

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Come guys. Keep the pedal to the metal.

Not possible. We don’t have a single coach at this school who knows how to step on another teams throat after being down, taking the lead and starting to pull away. It’s simply stunning.

 

[bethlehemfan]

This reminds me of Hofstra nit game.

 

[miketd1]

The lack of a veteran Big Ten-caliber center is a glaring weakness on both sides of the floor.

 

[koleszar]

Hey, you might want to guard #2 Pike, he's got over a third of their points.

 

[bac2therac]

Rac is a morgue and the borrible scoreboard is to blame

Including a guy who didn’t play in the first half comes in takes 3 shots and scores 7 points.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Had St. Peter’s in big time foul trouble and unable to capitalize.

 

[The RUT]

Use your phone and cast it to the tv.

Cast it on your TV, that’s what I’m doing

Terrible. And SP is shooting 46% from 3-point line.

 

[zappaa]

10 3s

 

[gmay8]

Once again we should have told the Peacocks this was our special season so they’d get out of the way. Thats all I’ve been hearing about

 

[bac2therac]

St peters deserves it...down 9 now a 10 point swing

15-5

 

[Degaz-RU]

Offense has been awful the last several minutes

 

[winfield102]

Davis took one wide open mid range shots and made it. Weird to keep bringing it up as if that has anything to do with why we are losing

It's a red flag for the season. You only take that shot when you have to (shot clock about to expire or inability to get a better look). We don't need that shot against SPU. We've taken 3 so far (2 were makes). It is known to be the least efficient shot in basketball.

If we are going to shot those, only 2 guys should be authorized to take them.

Ask Dan Hurley what he thinks about that shot?

We are going to struggle defensively this year. Rebounding is going to be a challenge and we don't have a rim protector. Our success will depend on our offensive efficiency this year.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Has Hayes played at all 2nd half?

Basically deflates the tire on the whole season. This team just lost to UMass Lowell.

I can't get B1G+ on my TV. It is killing me. I used to get with the Roku stick, but this Samsung TV doesn't allow me to download it. This is killing me.

Weird, downloaded it to my new Samsung TV today

RUTGERS 64-63 5:05 Left. _UCK!

St Peter's passes the ball around better than we do. Cant pull away.

Same thing last year. I noticed it most in the Stockton game. Warm ups all they did was pass an move. We were lazily taking shots doing some layups and messing around. We won the game at the buzzer. But they moved the ball around so silky smooth and had so many open looks. We looked like trash. Seems like passing and moving is not big on the priority list.

 

[RU Mike73]

Wake the Fvck up boys.

 

[bethlehemfan]

These refs are unreal

Everyone knows this. Taking 3 mid range shots is a non issue

It’s too much. It’s absolutely impossible to build momentum the way they go right to music from the scoreboard or advertising from the scoreboard whenever something is going well or a timeout is called. There’s absolutely no “flow” to allow the crowd into the game.

They need to change this nonsense.

 

[bac2therac]

Abysmal stats from 3
