RU up by 15 at the half and lose by 10 ... to Drake? Glad I skipped the 2nd half. Good luck and try to rebound tomorrow!

Terrible loss

 

[RUTrack94]

Losing to Gonzaga ... who will RU play for last place? At least the men’s team won.

Based on the last two games Rutgers clearly needs some scorers because the competition will get more difficult against B1G opponents.

Based on the last 2 games it’s going to be a long season

Well ... at least we know early.

was that the score...wow....its going to be a sub 500 season. This team will get crushed in Big 10 play as usual

 

[APKnight]

All of our injured players will be back soon. Don’t panic yet.

 

[wngarbarini]

When is Zippy going to contribute? Not much today. We were tied 21-21 at half against Gonzaga and get blown out by 17 in second half. Same thing against Drake. What is this a pattern?

Should beat etsu, they are 0-4 and they lose by an average of 25 points per game

Once the wins start showing with a full roster, this WBB's board roster will be missing a few members.
Or see them post far less.
That pattern has gone on for years.
Getting rid of CVS is the object, even if the WBB program usually is the best of the big 3 of RU sports.

In fairness to the bashers, this team needs to show more even if pieces missing.

The pattern that has gone on for the past few years is that we are a mediocre team at best

one mediocre year>2016-17 (6-24)
2 seasons short of goal , but can't call mediocre since last NCAA appearance in 2014-15
2015-16 (19-15)
2017-18(20-12)

Upsetting loss? Yes. Un upset? No. Gonzaga was favored. Tied at halftime. Both teams shot poorly. Gonzaga had 26 FT attempts to 10 for RU.

Yesterday we were outscored by 25 points in the second half. Today we were outscored by 17. Not good.

I have to agree with your assessment. I am not a CVS basher, very much a supporter, but right now there is an issue with our offense in the second half. I hope it will be corrected when we are at full strength, but we will have to wait and see. Go RU!

 

[nirrad]

Damn what is going on? Is it the time zone. This a totally different team

 

[ChasRC69]

I didn't follow the game so I have a question for someone who actually SAW the game. We were called for 21 fouls and they for 12. We shot 10 free throws (made 7) and they shot 26 (made 21). Were we overly aggressive on defense and deserved all those fouls, or did we run into another ridiculously called women's basketball gsme?

Don’t underestimate RU

Don’t underestimate RU

Two losses in Vancouver may mean team gets to sit at home in March. Lots of work ahead for them as these were two bad losses out west.

Putting the cart before the horse this early in the season.

I'll wait till I see how RU plays after some of the injured return.
No excuse for the losses, but before succumbing to doom and gloom, I'll take a wait and see ( more victories) attitude before putting on my hardhat and claim the sky is falling.
Could be this team is far better than these two losses made it look.

We are stomping the sisters of the poor in vancouver 39 to 25 in the 3rd

 

[RUTrack94]

Congrats on the win! Finally an RU team win a tourney game!!!!!!

Final two games of the Vancouver Showcase:

OSU 81 ND 91. Please note that OSU had a 12-point lead after 1Q, got it to a 14-point lead, and had a 9-pt lead at the half. They lost by 10. Games are 40 minutes.

Drake 90 SC 85 OT. Okay, so games are at least 40 minutes. Again, RU loss to Drake was not an upset.
