Rutgers vs Eastern Michigan / Game Thread

Broke an NCAA record. Pretty sure Coach Pike can use this as a recruiting tool. Love, love, love the team (and coach)
 
St. John's 2-10 from 3 so far against Cal. We played them on the wrong night.
 
Amazing. EM couldn’t buy a bucket to save their lives. Reminded me of us last year. Lol

But seriously, I thought this team was supposed to be decent. Sure didn’t live up to that in the first half. Most inept offensive half of basketball ever.

They've had a hellacious travel schedule, and Duke broke their spirit.
 
Clip of Omoruyi dunk, "Even if that were Rutgers only basket, they'd still only be down by 2 points at the half." RU famously (not infamously) in the record books. Great stuff!!

There is still a looseness and sloppiness I don't like.
Peter kiss is another player that makes shots harder than they need to be.

12 turnovers at the half. Settle the heck down and just play good ball.

Hard to stop 16-28 from downtown (before garbage time), with some of those contested. Sometimes a team just shoots lights out - simple bad timing - if we played them again, there's no way they shoot that well.
 
For someone so tall and athletic I can't remember seeing many dunks from Thiam his whole career. Nice to see him cut to the basket
 
Because you coach and expect to play your game and demand flawless ball. You don't get better by settling for mistakes cause you're winning.

We have probably our best half ever and you're going to lecture us with coach speak? C'mon, it's a message board - enjoy the great half.

Eugene might be better off just taking the 12 foot jumper in the paint instead of trying to attack EMU’s trees.

I'm relieved. But that isn't even in the top 25 best Rutgers halves ever. EMU couldn't hit a freaking shot.
