Nice

 

[RUJMM78]

The game must be over by now.The only suspense is over Rutgers scoring 100 points.

 

[ScarletDave]

Surprised both game peter kiss scoring a lot

Hope he doesn't hurt his shoulder at Midnight Madness this year

 

[CranfordKnight]

For context, WVU beat this team by 52 yesterday and Huggins said afterwards his team had a lot of issues to work on.

So while this is not top flight competition, it is a game to experiment with different lineups and give some guys a chance to play minutes they wouldn't ordinarily.

Final????

 

[RUJMM78]

There must be a power failure in Spain.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

86-47 in 3 qtrs. Cut short due to moisture on the court.

We go all that way for moisture on a court?

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Starting to think starting lineup will be JY, Geo, RHJr, Shaq, Myles. There is something special about Jacob Young's game and Shaq Carter has really stepped up his game.

2nd hottest day in Valencia history.

WOW - Young, Harper and Kiss shot a combined 16/24 (66%) from 2 and 6/12 (50%) from 3. Impressive

Team also cut down on TOs

 

[knights1212]

At least the game was stopped because of moisture and no one got hurt. Mulcahy again only took 2 shots but he had 5 assists. He must be passing the ball well.

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

I thought Spain was a dry heat....[roll]

 

[Jim_from_RU]

This team has a chance to be really good this season.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Can’t take ANYTHING from these two games. The competition is really poor. These are like low-major teams or worse.

 

[Mr_Twister]

Getting us ready for Caldwell University.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Can’t take ANYTHING from these two games. The competition is really poor. These are like low-major teams or worse.

At least we’re blowing them out.

 

[CPCU]

Can’t take ANYTHING from these two games. The competition is really poor. These are like low-major teams or worse.

Key lesson is do not play down to your competition. Tis has been a problem in the not too distant past.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Can’t take ANYTHING from these two games. The competition is really poor. These are like low-major teams or worse.

Agree. People will though.

 

[bowlgoal]

Besides West Virginia, have either of the two teams we’ve played done well against anyone else?

 

[willisneverrana43]

Agree. People will though.

And are

Starting to think starting lineup will be JY, Geo, RHJr, Shaq, Myles. There is something special about Jacob Young's game and Shaq Carter has really stepped up his game.

Coaches have different reasons for starting lineups, but to me this starting lineup is just so obvious, almost as obvious as Carter ready to take a giant step for us.

Myles Johnson looks really quick in this video. Looks like he may have shed some weight and now is more agile. Last year he seemed more lumbering at times.

 

[RUChoppin]

Minutes breakdown:

18:01 - Harper
16:19 - Baker
16:16 - Johnson
15:55 - Kiss
14:38 - Mathis
14:05 - McConnell
14:05 - Mulcahy
13:44 - Carter
13:15 - Young
12:36 - Yeboah
0:33 - Downes
0:33 - Nathan

Which brings the total minutes over two games to:

40:39 - Baker
36:44 - Johnson
36:38 - Mulcahy
35:36 - McConnell
34:53 - Harper
33:22 - Kiss
32:27 - Mathis
32:06 - Young
30:03 - Yeboah
30:12 - Carter
3:13 - Nathan
2:16 - Downes
1:22 - Brooks

Just looking at the top 5 guys.... a lineup of Mulcahy / Baker / McConnell / Harper / Johnson would be intriguing.

 

[kcg88]

Surprised no Lobach yet but maybe he'd have played in the 4th quarter of the second game

 

[Westcoast]

I thought Spain was a dry heat....[roll]

No, its just that its mainly on the plains (in Spain) where its moist.

 

[RUInsanity]

By George he's got it!

 

[knights1212]

Danny is out with an injury and probably for quite a while.
