Scarlet Knights-Blue Demons Game Thread

[ScarletLongIsland]

I'll take the 7 pt lead at half. Let's clean up the walks in the second half. Keep it up boyz!

 

[jersey07080]

Surprised but not surprised on how empty the arena is.

 

[greenknight]

The team is night and day from last year. Last year was out of control shots by Saunders with not much talent around him outside of Williams

 

[soundcrib]

Let's finish!

Surprised but not surprised on how empty the arena is.

Will be interested in seeing how much attendance improves when they move into their new downtown arena next sesson.

 

[RUJMM78]

Defense ,rebounding and made foul shots are the difference for a 33-26 lead at half time.

 

[BillyC80]

With our rebounding dominance, if we take good shots and take care of the ball, we will win.

Only chance DePaul has is to knock down threes, so we may have to overplay them at the arc and force them inside toward our bigs.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Game Tracker stats say we only had 8 turnovers in the first half. No way can that be right. Felt like we had 8 travels alone.

 

[BillyC80]

Apparently both teams shot only 32%.

 

[FrankZ]

I love saying Candido Sa!!!

 

[BillyC80]

We have definitely been coached on not fouling underneath. Love how we stand straight with hands up.

 

[greenknight]

I have more people sitting in my living room than are at this game

 

[bac2therac]

its amazing what a coach can do

 

[FrankZ]

Got ourselves a coach - oh baby

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

I love the hustle!!

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Feels like one of those early season Bermuda tournaments or something. More ushers than fans.

 

[RUonBrain]

I love saying Candido Sa!!!

I love saying, "Candido Sa from THREE!!!"

 

[BillyC80]

We are both quick and big. Love Mike Williams hustle. Laurent not having a great night, but we are so deep that other guys are stepping up. Rutgers on top 40-28, with the ball, under 16 min.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Not sure if we'll hang on to win, but, boy oh boy, is DePaul horrible.

 

[shields]

put them away please.

More interesting area for sure but still not near campus.

 

[RUinOhio]

This is fun to watch!

 

[RUJMM78]

This is a grind it out type game with both teams struggling offensively.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

I really like Nigel and Corey on the floor together.

 

[FrankZ]

Dear Lord, I think we have a team too - pinch me

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

IT MOVED....lol

 

[PatrickRU92]

WTF is this???? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

 

[RutgHoops]

Wow. Just appear to be wearing them down.

 

[SirPerceval]

wtf is going on here?!?!?!

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

Smothering pressure defense. ..

 

[SirPerceval]

when was the last time we made two fast break layups in a game let alone in a row.

 

[Night Man]

Sanders is going to singlehandedly destroy the weaker teams on our schedule.

 

[hoochie302]

Schwing! Love the hustle.....

 

[FrankZ]

Up 18 on the road to anybody?????? Hahahaha

 

[ejgonz]

Who are these guys?!?!!??!

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers on 11-0 run lead 47-30 with 13 minutes to go.

 

[RUonBrain]

I would pay $100 if Raf and Brando could announce all of our games!

What a joy to listen to.

Great humor
Know the game
And very kind to RU!

 

[FrankZ]

Oh Laurent

 

[Zak57]

Always loved RU basketball because I went to school under the last "glory days" of Waters from 01-05. The RAC was always pumped and upsets were the norm. I won't wax on but I've been very disinterested because of the Rice stuff and then Eddie Jordan so I barely watched. Anyway I'm back to being very interested so thank you Coach Pikiell!!!!

 

[greenknight]

They are going to win 20 games this year
