Rutgers vs Arizona
- Thread starter RUcrazee
- Start date
Gonna be a huge challenge today. But they should be happy to have the opportunity to get the ship righted and make a statement at the same time. Arizona has a strong inside game that should call for us seeing more of Sakima and Chyna like we saw her yesterday. Osh is going to need lots of help in the post.
Man, let these girls play aggressively with less focus on running the offensive set . I think we'd score a lot more points.
They are worried ablout making the pass when scoring lanes are there. They end up turning it over before getting a good shot. I'm for taking the first good shot that comes available.

Another disaster of a start.
This spells the need to change head coaches right now.Then bring in new blood at end of season if whoever replaces Tim doesn't succeed in a great turnaround in play.
As I said before this season even started, CVS' return needs to be tied in with what Tim does.
Tim does a bad job and deserves to be let go, Vivian moves to Administrative position and designated Head Coach Emeritus.
If she won't accept that, pay her off and cut ties.
Stringer had every right to take a leave of absence, but the way it was handled by her and Hobbs demands she be held accountable for how this season turns out.

It just keeps getting worse. I can't believe how bad the coaching is. Coming with Destiny off the bench before Chyna and Sakima. Not keeping enough size in the game at the same time. Not keeping his strongest ball handlers in at all times considering Arizona players are long and blocking the passing lanes.....and Adia is coming all out on the press to put us to bed early.
Tim needed to keep Shug, Lasha,. Jailyn or Sayawni, with Victoria and Liz next in line off the bench to handle the press. No Destiny, Stephanie, Joyia, or Ericka this game.

Please Mr Hobbs wrap up a severance package for CVS and start process to bring in a top notch coach!
Yeh, no problem. Fire Eatman and pay him to go away. CVS has a $5M deal even if she retires to a desk job. The Athletic Department continues to bleed red ink and the Board of Governors is as happy as a clam. Only in NJ, no one cares about the bottom line.
Watching the first two games left me disappointed but I can't even bare to finish this game against Arizona. Tim Eaton is not a good head coach... at all. They should have elevated Nadine Domond to Acting Head Coach. His prior head coaching experience does not show at all.
Tim's prior HC experience never led to a HCing position and the way this team plays might show why.
Nothing against Tim as an assistant , but his HCing this year shows why he's been a lifetime assistant dispite HC experience
There’s no severance package for her she is getting moved to an administrative job and will collect the rest of the 4.8 million she’s due and of course that will basically be a no show job
The size of Arizona, all over the court, but especially in the post, and Tim insists on only using one big at a time with Osh or Destiny as the other post matchup. Osh matches up with Koi Love on the perimeter, not Vonleh and these other huge posts for Arizona.
I agree that there are some very talented players on RU; since I haven't seen any other games (and the picture wasn't all that clear) I'm not sure who was who, but there was definitely some talent that played hard.
Part of the problem I see is that the limited success Rutgers had came against some of what you could call Arizona's 3rd team. Of the 15 players on Arizona (all played) the only 3 that didn't score are really 1st or 2nd team. By which I mean the 3rd teamers only play in blowouts and are last off the bench - Erdogan, Gret-Asi, Smith in particular. Really Sanchez as well, but she had a very good game. The non-scorers - Yeaney, who is a starter, Puello and Chavez who always get minutes, probably in the first 4 off the bench.
I knew from reading here that the offense continued to be challenged, but surprised that, as hard as the defense played, they were not more successful.

wow 46-8 at halftime...you can only laugh at what this program has become
but I am not surprised at all
but I am not surprised at all
Unbelievable.... After yesterday's 26-8 halftime score against Vanderbilt, I didn't think things could get worse... At today's 46-8 first half disaster against Arizona, RU was 3 for 17 from the field with 18 turnovers in the first half. At least we're consistent, shooting 3-17 for 8 points in the first halves of both of our last two games... None of the Arizona starters played more than 18 minutes against us, and in our 3 losses at the Paradise Jam we had 20, 26, and 30 turnovers, respectively.. Aye yai yai.

It’s a shame. There is a lot more talent on this team than reflected in the results. Need better coaching , practice, game management, and leadership. Hobbs needs to jump on this now!
Every single one of these players deserves better than what we have seen from the coaching staff.
Leave Tim Eatman in the Virgin Islands. Make him swim back to shore
Hobbs got played.
Cannot believe how many here are defending CVS

It is challenging, but a good coach who knows what he/she is doing would welcome that challenge given the talent level of the transfers. These young ladies bring a lot to the table and none of it negative from what we can see. As bad as things have gone, they haven't gotten into any ego trippin or checking out on the coach. They have appeared to go above and beyond to try to execute what Tim is trying to do. Just seems like Tim hasn't fully figured that out yet.
Bet you we're a Top 25 team at this point right now if Vic Schafer or Adia Barnes is coaching this same group of players. That might be the 25th spot(lol) but it would definitely be much more respectable than what we have seen so far from Tim's leadership.

I feel badly for these girls having to endure this season but it is clear Tim is not the answer.
Not that I disagree, but Arizona's bench outscored Rutgers according to today's paper here in Tucson. And adding insult to injury I guess, Adia said she was waiting for a blowout to play said bench.
The bench includes some transfers and a number of first year players. What Arizona has, and Rutgers seems to lack, is a strong experienced starting lineup - Arizona's includes 4 seniors though at least one is planning to come back next year.
From what I saw, Arizona can put together a five from their bench that can beat their own starters. They've got very good, SEC proven transfers in Koi Love and Ariyah Copeland, both of whom came off the bench. The freshman Vonleh is highly skilled coming from a pedigree of ball players(one played for the Knicks maybe 5 years ago). The three of them could start for a lot of top 25 teams.
First I've seen of Sanchez, but she looks to be a highly skilled gem of a freshman who will become a bigger part of the rotation. These four are good enough to start for Arizona, but of course the players who have been there would get the nod because they are most familiar with the system(and loyalty to a degree). Talent-wise, the team is a solid 10-12 players deep at least.
IMO, Reese, Thomas, and Pellington are the only ones who's spots would be secure in the starting lineup. I think Koi will end up in there eventually.
That's why the bench outscored RU. And those three that you mentioned as last off the bench,..........just think about this.......our players who fit that category are seeing time in the first and second quarters of tight games. Tim's playing them during the crucial moments when the game is in the balance and when we are trying to come back from a manageable deficit.
And when it comes to RU's starting 5, they're experienced, but unfortunately, not experienced together. He started 4 grad transfers and a redshirt jr against Arizona. Tim doesn't have his plan together though, so their strengths and experience can't shine through.

Ware's spot is secure. Very versatile, was on the USA U19 team. Interestingly, she had planned to be a 2 sport athlete and skipped volleyball last year due to Covid. Not sure of her plans going forward.
Yes, Love and Copeland are gems.
The starting lineup is by far the best of Arizona.
However, you are correct that Arizona has a lot of talent. For whatever reason, Samaj Smith has moved down the depth chart over the years and Erdogan was there last year and doesn't get many minutes, I don't know what the problem is because she has a good over-seas pedigree. The rest are all either currently solid or have a great deal of potential.
