Basketball LIVE GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Bryant

[RutHut_rivals]

Why no Carter?

 

[kcg88]

Any MLB scouts here? We're shooting some wicked curveballs.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Doucoure is still lost. Disappointing.

 

[Barnaby&Neill]

We’re sloppy in the paint

 

[Goku]

Douc just rebound. Leave the bricks to the other players

 

[BillyC80]

61-48 RU with 7:51 left. RU ball after the timeout.

 

[kcg88]

Doucoure gets the ball and goes 1v3

 

[Shell21]

They are playing zone and if you are bricking up threes it’s tough to do much because the lanes are clogged . No flow offensively ; pretty disappointing but let’s finish them and move on to Sunday

 

[rufeelinit]

I wonder why no Shaq Carter in the second half?

 

[NickRU714]

Bank three, you have to be sh*tting me. God has decreed Rutgers will die by the three. It's like the 11th Commandment

If only someone said earlier that less talented teams could use a 3pt approach to increase the odds of an upset......
Especially early in the season with the new further 3pt line.....

 

[scottsdaleal]

Free throws and perimeter scoring...same issues as last year. Hopefully this is only a one game sample...hitting our free throws at any decent percentage and we are up + 20.

 

[Duff366]

Don't like the sub patterns. Geo playing too much. McConnell should be playing more than Young. Young too out of control

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Just win...

 

[RUTrack94]

A win will be a win ... but sloppy. RU is simply bigger and faster. Was expecting a 20+ win. Let’s see how the last 7 go. Might be lots of FT attempts coming up

 

[RutHut_rivals]

Young trying to do too much. Should be out of the game.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Can’t make layups, FTs, or 3s. I mean what is left?

 

[Goku]

4 for 20 on 3pters
21 for 57 in total fg. But we made plenty of layups and points in the paint. I’m guessing we are 10-50 shooting jump shots

 

[RUforester72]

Sloppy first game. But it is the first game. But we are sloppy!

 

[MS-RU]

Did anyone practice shooting this off-season?

 

[bac2therac]

Missing wide open 3s..sigh

 

[kcg88]

15% from three are you freaking kidding

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Harper should be dominating this game. He seems so slow.

 

[CollegeAve]

Don't like the sub patterns. Geo playing too much. McConnell should be playing more than Young. Young too out of control

Pike was killing McConnell on the sideline

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Mathis should not be allowed to shoot any more knuckleball threes.

 

[RutHut_rivals]

What a bunch of floppers.

 

[bac2therac]

Disappointed with Pike coaching tonight...re offense

 

[RUby RED]

Mathis has gotta give up the three ball. Misses so bad that it always leads to a run out for the other team

 

[Mikemarc]

WTF are we doing?

No need to rush 3s, Montez. Especially when we suck at em

 

[kcg88]

Disappointed with Pike coaching tonight...re offense

The shots we're missing are either wide open or we're making it difficult on ourselves.

 

[sct1111]

Very disappointing.

 

[bethlehemfan]

I would rather see them cold early in the season then come out on fire

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Our shooting just flat out stinks. Recruit a shooter please.

 

[ScarletDave]

Who is our strength and conditioning coach, Ash?

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Very disappointing.

Carter getting schooled in the paint. Ugh

 

[Goku]

expect WTF losses this year. Bad shooters stay bad shooters.

 

[rufeelinit]

Mathis is at his best in transition. Foul shooting is really bad. Out of control at times on defense. Just play your man.

 

[Shell21]

If we play like tonight we will have multiple wtf losses out of conference

 

[kcg88]

This is going to end up being the most discouraging win in a long time.

 

[bac2therac]

First game or not

Not impressed at all by Rutgers tonight across the board

 

[rufeelinit]

Too many uncontested 3's given up. Guys watching the ball rather than staying with their guy.
