RU -Fordham Game Thread

Insanely good or insanely odd?

Odd. So, so strange.

Odd. So, so strange.

In what way?

 

[Rusty_Screw_88]

Very sloppy play by RU. Far too many careless passes , but this team HUSTLES and rebounds the crap outa the ball. Not a crisp game and we still win by 17!

I'm hooked man. I love the vibe of this team !

Me too. They need to clean things up, but Coach P and staff are getting them in a position to win.

Severe transferred to Iona.

Good to have the win, even on a day when I don't think we played particularly well. At least we managed to grit it out.

May I ask which one. Like to use this site in the future.

51-22 RU in rebounds !!!!!!

17 turnovers, many leading to run out points

The biggest stat leading to a big RU win is Fordham shooting 21% from 3 (6-29). That's the difference right there.

It seemed Rutgers wasn't as interested in the game. Sanders looked slugglest.

I agree completely. This team does so many little things right, unlike past teams, that it can struggle in some areas and still put itself in a position to win. And this team has beaten everyone it should have so far. Big measuring stick game Friday night. I am very excited for the opportunity that awaits us.

Are tickets still available?

What happened to Jon Severe?

He transferred, though I'm not sure where.

 

[gef21]

Sanders having a tough day.

Solid game against an awful-shooting Fordham. 17 turnovers will be the death of us in conference play, but plenty fine versus this opponent. Terrific game by Williams and dominant rebounding game by front court. Why we kept Sandra on the floor while he's gift-wrapping passes, I don't know, but will assume Pike has a plan - put stuff on tape for him to grow from, perhaps?

On to Seton Hall. Good test. Odds are we lose, but I believe in this team and will be tuning in rooting hard for a win!

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Don't know if this was the reason he got pulled, but Thiam took a 3, stood and watched it, did not follow it up when it missed.

his big mistake on that play was not running back on defense

Corey was battling strep this week.

Mike Williams also here the last two years, way to go.

 

[scarlet night]

Love this team! Some things to clean up but can't argue with 11-1!

This. This team has a lot to work on, but they play as a TEAM, hustle like hell, and want to do the right thing. Watching in person for the first time was super fun. I'd go to a lot more games if I could.

 

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

Corey was battling strep this week.

I know and the effects of it seemed worse today then on Wednesday.

 

[higgins3]

Sa is a tremendous defender.

Rutgers Sanago?

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

They didn't play particularly well but a win is a win.

I was very disappointed in the crowd at the Garden. There weren't many fans for the first game, but it emptied out quite a bit for the RU game. I haven't been to a Holiday Festival game since the 70's-80's and they should stick a fork in it - I think it's done.

 

[Colbert17!]

I'll say it again.
I have a tingle up my leg.

RU-67
SHU-61

 

[ScarletLongIsland_rivals]

Thiam was sick today. Corey's been sick as well. Need Thiam to hit a few threes against the Hall. Anxious to see how we do on Friday.

word is it is going around the team a bit.

as terrible as the attendance was today can never beat a Rutgers game at the Garden. The comments I heard from other fans were interesting.

one of my fav's was the 4-5 NYC guys sitting up 2 rows behind me discussing the bar they were leaving to go to and the 1 guy saying..(after watching RU a bit) maybe we should stick around awhile...
