RU-FDU game thread

[bac2therac]

so glad I stayed home......FDU up 19-9 with 8 minutes left in the first half...a whopping 9 points in 12 minutes...embarrassing

 

[Caliknight]

FDU must have some crazy practice facility.

 

[Local Shill]

It's like the '89 A-10 final in here. Place is rocking.

 

[bac2therac]

listen if they lose this game....Hobbs should be inviting Eddie into his office to start working on his retirement and I will call for his firing every single day on this board because this if ******* embarrassing beyond belief. losing 24-12 to FDU in front of 700 fans less than you would get at a high school..and the lame excuses that some are using to defend him are a comedy show in itself.

so lets see if they can comeback from an abysmal effort from players and coaches thus far

 

[WJLeggett]

This team simply does not value the basketball. At all.

Which for a team coached by a former PG is really inexcusable.

It's the sign of a poorly coached team. You can see it in everything they do. They have 10 turnovers and the first half isn't over yet.

I'm guessing valuing the ball isn't part of Eddies "package".

 

[bac2therac]

26-20 FDU 3:08 left in the half.

 

[bac2therac]

this has happened numerous times this year...RU scores a nice basket and then immediately the other team gets an easy layup down the other end,...Ive never seen a team be beat in transition off of a made basket than Eddie Jordans teams

 

[bac2therac]

halftime...FDU 29 Rutgers 27....RU ended the last 5 minutes on a 15-5 run

 

[rut08]

I've tried to hold on to the hope that Eddie Jordan can get it done here, but I'm realizing with every game played that it's just not going to happen. There is no way that this team should be losing to FDU and losing Shaq, Freeman and Diallo is not a valid excuse, at least for this game.

 

[bac2therac]

RU has yet to score a basket 4 minutes into the 2nd half...FDU 35-28

 

[RUTrack94]

If FDU wins ...let's see ... SHU, NJIT, PU, Monmouth, FDU ... RU is #6 in NJ ... Any team I missed.

 

[RU_DIO]

This coaching staff is not getting it done. Garbage. I miss Fred Hill.Jr.

 

[78CollegeAve]

WIlliams and Sanders had quite the first half -- 4 for 13 from the floor and 6 TOs. Against FDU. Coached by a former point guard who said that his program's success would be built on the play of his guards. Against FDU. At home.

Oh, RU is so young? Coming into tonight, frosh and sophs had scored 93% of FDU's points.

Rider? St Peters? Kean? Rowan?

 

[The_Senator]

Don't see Freeman on bench

 

[bac2therac]

Rider? St Peters? Kean? Rowan?

all better..remember RU fought tooth and nail vs Newark

 

[ScarletRunner]

all better..remember RU fought tooth and nail vs Newark

So we may not be the top-ranked program in NJ, but we're the top-ranked Rutgers.

Probably.

 

[bac2therac]

on FDUs roster I see 6 freshmen, 4 sophomores, 2 juniors and no seniors...and I imagine no top 150 players nor players who were recruited at power 5 conference schools nor a talent like Sanders

 

[bac2therac]

I believe FDU is only 2-12 from the free throw line

 

[bac2therac]

the small lineup paying off for Rutgers but this would be a double digit lead for FDU if they could make foul shots..wow

4-15 now from the line FDU up 2

 

[bac2therac]

FDU 42 RU 40 with 11:05 left

 

[RUTrack94]

FDU 42 RU 40 with 11:05 left

Hope you didn't start the jinx

 

[RUTrack94]

Time to learn to win a close game at the end ...

 

[bac2therac]

RU up 59-57 with 3 minutes left

 

[Turtle31]

Seriously, where is this team's heart?

 

[bac2therac]

Sanders with the dagger 3 and 62-57...breathing space with 2 minutes left

 

[bac2therac]

64-59 1:52 left...still give up too many easy baskets.

 

[itsRtime]

We finally found a team who shoots worse from the foul line than us.

 

[bac2therac]

looks like this puppy is over....RU by 7

 

[RutgersRaRa]

Seriously, where is this team's heart?

A team loses heart if its coach doesn't put them in position to have heart.

 

[RUTrack94]

64-59 1:52 left...still give up too many easy baskets.

Crossing fingers for win #5 ... And to beat a Jersey team!

 

[RUTrack94]

Hooray!!!! A win!!!!

 

[bac2therac]

SAVOR this victory

looks like Sanders took over in the 2nd half and Lewis with a double double finally played a solid game.

 

[PatrickRU92]

This win is what is known as a resume' builder

 

[MikeR0102]

We won? Congrats.

 

[ruman]

Could be the last one for a while

 

[bac2therac]

This win is what is known as a resume' builder

this supplants Howard as our marquee win of the year

 

[S.W.A.I.N]

Hit your free throws, rebound...amazing what can happen.

 

[RUTrack94]

Woo-hoo ... La la la la la!
Woo-hoo ... La la la la la!
