Basketball Rutgers-Maine Game Thread

[robjknight]

Gee what’s happening in Jacksonville? Not

 

[knight82]

I think this is the most intensity we've played with against a cupcake so far this year

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Maine is exhausted. I feel a 10-0 run is coming.

 

[robjknight]

Gee what’s happening in Jacksonville? Not

 

[ScarletDave]

Great news, the CCSU game will be on BTN! 5pm Saturday.
The team is smiling and looks happy to be there. But agreed hope they aren’t taking it too too easy, no lead is safe see: UMass

BTN got some new graphics too it looks like. The whole bottom of the screen is a scoreboard now

 

[robjknight]

These announcers have a good sense of RU history and of the current players. Making it interesting.

 

[FrankZ]

Boy this announcer is laying it on thick. Not sure if I should be appreciative or chuckle.

 

[Luvscarletknights]

They are not playing with a ton of intensity but playing very sound basketball.

 

[zappaa]

Reiber is actually not even a Juco/community college basketball player. Might get shown up in intramural ball at the Barn. Not trying to be harsh, I’m sure he’s a nice guy but 4 on 5 is a better option.

He’d struggle mightily for playing time at Montclair State

 

[zebnatto]

Mag is RU highlight for me,

 

[gregkoko]

TBH, the announcers are right. We look either a bit tired or just not playing with intensity. Playing down to the competition, perhaps.

Would be a lot closer than 14 if we were playing down to competition.

 

[bac2therac]

38-22

 

[Luvscarletknights]

6-0 run so far.

 

[bac2therac]

The announcers are fools

For starters its understandable off 2 weeks with no practice

Also this is the most insensity we have shown against a cupcake

 

[FrankZ]

Here come the uncalled for 3s again 🤦‍♂️

 

[bwrlaw]

Crowd estimate?

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Made an 8-0 run and got lazy. BUMMER.

 

[bac2therac]

42-30 half..sloppy as usual to end the half

Rutgers will win by 20-25 if not more

 

[robjknight]

Maine averages 5 threes a game. Already have 6 in first half. Half time score 42-30

 

[bac2therac]

Crowd estimate?

1900 tops

 

[ScarletDave]

Maine gets hot at the end of the half, of course. 18-point lead ends up 42-30 at the half

 

[zebnatto]

Two weeks off or not, you do not forget how to play ball. IMO, we dont look good at all w Paul the biggest culprit. No way Maine should have 30, SHOULD have 40 for the game.

 

[cm_13]

Maine has averaged a hair over 5 made threes a game this year. They hit 6 in the first half.

 

[rucoe89]

Postives: Baker Offense, McConnell Defense, Mag energy
Negatives: Rest of team seems lethargic and CAA level right now.

Rutgers is playing fine given off for 17 days ano practice and very little prep for Maine..you think they sre prepping for Maine or Michigan

Are you sure they didn’t practice?

They are absolutely not playing fine. Give me a break,

 

[zebnatto]

If you are 6’10” and want to be a backup center for Rutgers, sign here.

 

[bac2therac]

Are you sure they didn’t practice?

A day or two

 

[gregkoko]

A day or two

Yeah believe yesterday was the first practice since before the scheduled Rider game

 

[bac2therac]

50-35. 16:47

 

[cm_13]

Ball movement on that transition bucket was very pretty.

 

[FrankZ]

Good back to back possessions from PM

 

[Luvscarletknights]

I am pondering something watching game.

1) Mulcahy is struggling.

Or

2) Mulcahy seems to struggle because his basketball IQ is so much higher than anyone else and you see his frustration like " why weren't you there for the pass".

His start in second half on first 3 plays shows #2.

That’s easy. Struggling.

 

[jordkap]

That’s easy. Struggling.

He would be fine if he just took the shots he had that were wide open.

 

[cm_13]

Like he’s doing today.
