Basketball GAME THREAD: RHoops versus Nebraska

[Knightmoves]

This is the Reiber we hoped for this season.

 

[GM]

We aren’t even necessarily shooting the three lights out, but we are getting high quality looks, pushing it in transition and forcing bad shots. Great, great half.

 

[Scangg]

Fitting end to the first half with Dunk Threeber

Love Ron continuing to take it to the rim

 

[MS-RU]

That’s how you finish the half

 

[jordkap]

44-31

Gotta love it

Nebby saddled with all kinds of foul trouble

Lets put this away in first 5 minutes of 2nd half

If they can find a 3rd on Mcgowans or Walker quickly in the 2nd half, you can stick a fork in Nebraska’s comeback.

 

[RedTeamUpstream94]

only WIDE open 3s in second half.

keep passing/ driving/ attacking in the lane.

easy buckets or fouls.

come out aggressive in 2nd half and put this game away!!

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Miller just does his thing for whatever meager minutes he gets

If not a layup he is having difficulty with his shot.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

First half tide officially changed for good with 2nd add of Dean (and Hyatt). Bravo

 

[BillyC80]

Best half of the year in terms of ball movement and multiple player contributions. Awesome team play!

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Great job by Reiber, Hyatt and Jones. Really strong minutes from those guys.

 

[PatrickRU92]

And we missed last time as well allowing them back in it. Some days it's just not there take what is, inside.

if you're open for 3 you take it. if you are a decent shooter statistically thats never a bad decision.

 

[rob kight]

Glad we stopped the 3’s and go down low!

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

If not a layup he is having difficulty with his shot.

I know. Just love his energy and D

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

RHJ 15 points
Hyatt 8
Rieber 7
Paul 6
Caleb 4
Geo 2
Miller 2

Who had that distribution at halftime?

 

[Degaz-RU]

DNP from Jaden Jones

 

[DHajekRC84]

I don't gamble but I wonder the line for Reiber and Paul both dunking in the first half much less a game. Lol.

 

[Scarlet Knut]

Bench crew looking good.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

DNP from Jaden Jones

Good point

 

[Knightmoves]

Great job by Reiber, Hyatt and Jones. Really strong minutes from those guys.

Think you mean Harper. Jones is DNP.

 

[bac2therac]

Nebby still shooting 50%..13-26..thats a concern

Rutgers 16-31..10-11 at line..just 2-10 from 3

 

[PatrickRU92]

Raise your hands if you thought our only 3 pointers of the half would come from Hyatt and Reiber

 

[knight82]

I think we established in the first half that when Harper takes it to the basket, they cannot stop him

 

[Scangg]

The team looked like it was going to regress into the form they showed when we struggle but Hyatt Threeber and Miller with the spark. Paul with some nice passing and a dunk. Ron eating inside. Great finish.

What a blessing in disguise with Cliff getting 2 early fouls. Dean can play but will still struggle against a more meaty 5. Their bigs are slender

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

Dean 7pts 3reb
Aundre 8pts 5reb 2ast
Jalen 2pts 3reb

 

[MadRU]

Great job by Reiber, Hyatt and Jones. Really strong minutes from those guys.

Jones? Think you meant Miller

 

[bac2therac]

Geo 1-5 2pts

Harper 15 pts..4-7fg 7-7 ft

They can't defend him

And we did this without Cliff...lets see how we do..remember Nebby prepared against a different team thats producing

 

[jerzeyguy]

Jaden completely outta the rotation huh..

 

[Danprusa_4]

Jaden completely outta the rotation huh..

Well it’s working right now he had plenty of chances to step up and score

 

[knight82]

Reiber's offensive game is really coming along, but still needs to work on his D. That can improve with hard work and experience

 

[RUEd]

Jones DNP. Anyone with insight?

 

[BillyC80]

Four starters plus Dean, Hyatt, and Miller having great games. Cliff gonna kill it in the second half.

 

[rsutton86]

Reiber can hit those.

Can he grow into a 5 that forces other teams bigs to come out and defend. It’s nice to see his improvement especially his outside shot.

Idk if I’d call Walker slender, just a bit shorter. But that should be about what he should have to deal with against the other non-Purdue, Mich and Illinois bigs

 

[Salvi's Headband]

For me the biggest thing of the half was Ron going 7 for 7 from the line and the team as a whole going, I think 10 for 11? Considering how early Nebraska got us in the bonus, it was huge to capitalize on those FT chances.

 

[Scangg]

Reiber's offensive game is really coming along, but still needs to work on his D. That can improve with hard work and experience

He just needs to bulk up

 

[bac2therac]

Have to also keep being aggressive. Nebby is a poor defending team. Passing around the perimeter and taking air out of the ball plays into their hands

Have to fix the inbounds plays. Too many turnovers leading to baskets for them.

 

[bac2therac]

Jones DNP. Anyone with insight?

There really was not a proper time to get him in..nor Oskar

 

[Scarlet Knut]

I know Nebraska isn't a top team, but we are beating them with our bench and missing Mag and for some reason Jones.

 

[bac2therac]

Yeah i think we have 7 and 2 from Paul on inbounds
