Basketball St. John's outlasts No. 25 Rutgers Basketball in scrimmage

[ScarletKid2008]

Inside the paint is a major major concern for this team.

St. John’s must have near 20 offensive boards.
They’re finishing inside over us.
And on the other end RU struggles mightily to finish inside.

 

[FmrMgrRU]

just when I’m out on Martini he pulls me back in

 

[Rutman514]

Is anybody able to track rebound count? Must be awful

 

[wngarbarini]

Score?

 

[ScarletKid2008]

8 min to go ..
73-70 RU up

Pretty amazing . 73 points with 8 minutes to play. !!

 

[Rutman514]

just when I’m out on Martini he pulls me back in

He's not as athletic as he thought he'd be but he's definitely tough

 

[RU82]

Not much Lathan tonight.

 

[BillyC80]

Score?

73-70 RU (and RU ball).

 

[Mr Magoo]

Not much Lathan tonight.

He really struggled defensively

 

[biazza38]

We’re gonna try to run ppl out of the gym this year. Zero defense all offense
Hell yeah

 

[FmrMgrRU]

Slam magazine shirt guy needs to be more enthusiastic

 

[ScarletKid2008]

We’re gonna try to run ppl out of the gym this year. Zero defense all offense
Hell yeah

they have and will certainly be playing hard defense.
The problem tonight has been the Johnnie’s are dominating us down low. I’d like to see the second chance points.

 

[RU82]

Derkack is going to be a solid piece for us this year.

Youth doing youth things

 

[FmrMgrRU]

Derkack’s passing is really impressive so far

 

[RU Mike73]

At the pace we are playing there will be TO and frustrating moments. But lots of fun too.

 

[koleszar]

Ogbole is absolutely atrocious. He brings nothing.

 

[Mr Magoo]

We should stick with Martini even though he’s small

 

[FmrMgrRU]

Could you imagine if Ogbole was even a little bit good at basketball?

 

[Rutman514]

20 offensive rebounds for STJ...

 

[ScarletKid2008]

The offensive boards are ridiculous. They might have 34+ second chance points

 

[RU Mike73]

20 offensive rebounds for SJU. Can’t have that.

 

[ScarletKid2008]

Could you imagine if Ogbole was even a little bit good at basketball?

Not liking what I see there.

 

[Mr Magoo]

The offensive boards are ridiculous. They might have 34+ second chance points

My biggest fear. We have no 5 and 4 and our best player there right now is small and from Princeton.

 

[RU Mike73]

Derkack with offensive board and powerful stick back. Nice.

 

[FmrMgrRU]

Not liking what I see there.

Probably missing a couple but I’ve seen 2 great dishes to him under the basket he turned over

 

[ScarletKid2008]

My biggest fear. We have no 5 and 4 and our best player there right now is small and from Princeton.

Yes. It’s going to be a season long glaring problem. Really inexcusable the staff is riding with E and a freshmen as their bigs in this league

 

[FmrMgrRU]

@Richie O we recruiting Derkack’s little bro?

 

[biazza38]

Score

 

[bac2therac]

88-85 sju 32.3

 

[RUChoppin]

Down 88-85 30 seconds

 

[bac2therac]

Lot of lessons to learn

Men vs boys down the stretch

 

[miketd1]

We blew this one. This will knock everyone down a peg or two.

 

[Rutman514]

Good learning experience, they will get better

 

[RUChoppin]

Bad news: loss of poise leading to consecutive turnovers
Good news: Great learning opportunity for the freshmen
