At the game, the one thing I’ve noticed not just at this game but I’ve noticed every game is windham never dressed ready to go He’s always in long pants so maybe he’s sitting intending to transfer or maybe he might be injured don’t know.

His chance of playing is only slightly greater than yours.

I’m a football player so you’re definitely right!

 

[Purple Pete]

Oh great, the game's on Peacock!!! How many more opportunities will we have this year to watch the Cats on this magnificent network!!! ...Said no one EVER.

I still think KJ is a much better shooter than Green, especially after watching Green miss a wide open three off the backboard from the corner! I'm not even sure how you do that. At least the other guys are making shots so far. Good start.

 

[CappyNU]

A KJ Windham sighting!

 

[Purple Pete]

KJ sees the court!!!

Take that back.

Coach must have thought the same thing as Windham is now in the game! Of course, he clanged his first three point shot.

 

[TheC]

Can't wait to see what NUCats does when he gets in!!

 

[CappyNU]

This game is technically sold out but there are a lot of empty seats and the usually raucous Rutgers fans are very defeated at the moment.

So much for the KJ sighting.

It was a brief sighting.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Can’t expect to score much with Clayton and Gelo as two of your players. One at a time please.

 

[TheC]

Water finding its level as we've now missed our last several three point shots badly

 

[NUcats92]

I was shocked! These rutgers fans behind me are annoying as ****!

 

[TheC]

I hate ref shows. Every play is a foul now.

 

[SDakaGordie]

This team continues to be weak of concentration. We should easily be up by double digits. Missed defensive assignments galore, letting up offensive rebounds, terrible free throw shooting, inability to finish easy shots - again and again and again

 

[jensberg]

Clayton Angelo Mullins Singleton pretty much none of them can shoot the ball very well

 

[TheC]

And a missed FT from our PG to end the half. I think we all know it.... this is not a very good team.

 

[jensberg]

And as usual giving up tons of offensive rebounds

So poorly coached?

Yeah Rutgers best offense is FT's and layups. Fck.

 

[CappyNU]

It is really remarkable to see the rebounding issues in person, like they are trying to grab a greased pig instead of a basketball.

 

[MCC_Cat]

FT shooting better be LOT better in 2nd half. That was awful.

 

[jensberg]

Green has been a huge disappointment shooting those threes. Surprisingly low percentage.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

More West please. He at least gets the ball inside.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Also, let’s have KJ make a three. This board will go ballistic.

 

[TheC]

Getting outrebounded by 10

 

[CappyNU]

Rutgers has been playing this 2-3 matchup zone that is really giving us problems, though Mart is getting the calls so far this half.

 

[TheC]

I don't understand the fascination with Clayton. He is not a good defender and a minus on offense.

Fits right in.

 

[TejasCat]

Started 4/5 from 3, now 4/13. Can someone make a 3 for us?

 

[TheC]

More Page standing still on defense and getting beat

 

[CappyNU]

Not really sure why that foul wasn't a shooting foul for us, Collins was pissed with the ref.

 

[Purple Pile Driver]

Teams figured out a few weeks ago, to double Nick every time he touches the ball. No one can make an outside shot. Want Gelo to drive and see what happens.

 

[jensberg]

As someone said about I just don't understand the minutes Clayton gets. He seems to add very little on offense or defense. Especially offense. If we lose this game you got to ask yourself who can we beat?

 

[MCC_Cat]

Fits right in.

Yeah if he's in for defense but fouling and getting cooked and can't shoot or rebound then???

 

[TheC]

Double point guard look. Interesting.

 

[TheC]

Why is that not goaltending!!

Of course Mullens can't make FTs
