An RU starting lineup based on who I see as best five would only include one ballhandler JMike. (+EO, DB, BD, DG)

Will we put only one in game to start? JMike.

Who else is a possible ballhandling starter and/or who gets next most minutes?

Tariq? Lino? Harun is listed as a guard, but does he have speed and handle?

 

[Tango Two]

Will soon find out

Bring back the pregame Bavarian yodeler. Totally gets into the opponent's heads while they're warming up.

[Degaz-RU]

That’s him!

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

I would think the starting 5 would be J-Mike, Francis, Buchanan, Grant and Ogbole?

 

[MadRU]

 

[Rutgers25]

So I guess Badalau isn’t a depth piece after all!

what happened to Buchanan??

 

[fatsam98]

My hope is we figure out a 7-8 man rotation in these first couple games

 

[bac2therac]

Well its going to be a very late arriving crowd if at all

 

[fatsam98]

Well ots gping to be a very late arriving crowd if at all

6pm tip should be illegal

 

[bac2therac]

6pm tip should be illegal

Yes

 

[EddieWilsonLives]

what??? Buchanan is not starting??

 

[bac2therac]

Rider looks like high school squad

 

[bac2therac]

what??? Buchanan is not starting??

Are you Green Rice Fig?

 

[fatsam98]

Game Day production off to a rough start lol

 

[bac2therac]

Excitement in building is tepid at best

 

[bac2therac]

Bah-da-lau

 

[Knight Shift]

Worst case scenario

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Early take on offense. When set, very little movement, passing around the perimeter. Blah.

Defense looks like a hungry Pike defense.

 

[bac2therac]

Good energy and hustle to start game

 

[Dowling's Revenge]

Hard to say anything with certainty so far but we're definitely looking like more of a Pike team. The NJIT transfer is looking pretty good

 

[RUTGERS95]

Good energy and hustle to start game

agree
the passing is decent,want to see it more up tempo

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Defense definitely looks better. Offense the same. Too early to judge. Rider is really bad.

 

[MadRU]

Passing the ball, like it. Good energy

 

[Degaz-RU]

Can’t complain about this start. We got our first 10-0 kill shot in the first 4 minutes, and the much maligned Francis hit two nice 3s.

 

[Ramaj St. James]

That was a fun 4 minute stretch of basketball. We defended and scored.

 

[bac2therac]

Defense definitely looks better. Offense the same. Too early to judge. Rider is really bad.

Yes..Rider looks woefully overmatched

 

[RU-Kidding]

Excitement in building is tepid at best

Same old pike following script. No feel for the flow of a game. Pulling starters 5 or so minutes into a half.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Yes..Rider looks woefully overmatched

Def looks like an easier team to root for than last year so far

 

[bac2therac]

Subs not as sharp but playing hard
