RU v ECU Game Thread

[RUeric]

We seem to be forcing the opposition into so many travels this year. It's uncanny.

 

[Rusty_Screw_88]

Defense is just as important. You do not need to shoot lights out if you can limit scoring on defense and draw fouls.

 

[G- RUnit]

We are playing awful but up 11.

 

[LevaosLectures]

Wow. Letting them get the three when we had the chance to hold for the last shot is infuriating

 

[RU MAN]

After a slow start, which so far has been our MO, we really picked it up. So far we appear to be a second half team (against better teams that's going to be a problem), and I would like to see us come out and go on a major run to put ECU away.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Do we have guards? Just wondering.

Comment requires more info to understand what you mean. I can answer...top.3 guards are Sanders, Geo and Williams...Yes..we have guards.

Souf was more worried about the guy behind him than in front of him.

 

[Rusty_Screw_88]

Up by 11 with adjustments possibly leading to improved second half play is promising.

On the radio the announcers say the officials are blowing or missing several calls against ECU. It's probably the difference of about five to six points ECU has right now

Lots of missed calls, but a couple in our favor, too. Refs not great so far today - they need some halftime adjustments. lol

Maybe we shouldnt miss so many free throws.

Tough stretch there with TO and 3.

AAC opponents are fine for OOC. This isn't CCNY or Coppin State.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Just cannot make a shot

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Issa for 3!

 

[BillyC80]

36-25 @16:00.

 

[LevaosLectures]

Stop the presses! Corey mad a shot!

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

44-28.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Shaq has 2 put back Dunks today.

 

[LevaosLectures]

Freeman having a great game. Double double.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Love these whoops

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Williams needed that jumpshot, even if it was a shot one.....been struggling with the shots lately.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

57-33

 

[kwrightnj]

Maybe wait a little bit before saying we suck.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

After the first one goes in....Williams follows it with a 3 pointer..

 

[Dpgru]

Tuesday night we will start to learn whether or not the patterns we have seen against these weak OOC teams transfers to more quality opposition. Hopefully the defense will be up to the task and the shooting improves with the increased adrenaline. We will see.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Well....everyone knows games are only 20 to 25 minutes....

 

[BillyC80]

Shaq with 8 points and 9 rebounds.

Could use some big time ‘Shaq’ out there

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

When you are not playing well and still up by 11 it means we are better and the opponent sucks..Last year or the year before we would be fighting for our lives. DEFENSE

 

[soundcrib]

6-0

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

Would’ve liked to close out the game stronger on the offensive end, but I’ll take a W all the time. On to FSU.

 

[scarletNJ49]

Stumbled down the stretch but controlled the 2nd half. 6-0

 

[Degaz-RU]

Happy to get another cupcake win, but we’re not gonna win many B1G games shooting 33% from the field AT HOME no less.

Absolutely true. Our next game (FSU) will show us exactly where we are as a team.

Defense is just as important. You do not need to shoot lights out if you can limit scoring on defense and draw fouls.

Need to make foul shots at a higher percentage.

 

[G- RUnit]

Back from the RAC. Crowd was great just no students. We play great D and awesome effort, hustle etc.

Offense and foul shooting has to get better though. Sometimes painful to watch wide open great looks and miss so poorly.

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers must have missed at least 8 layups in the game which accounts for the poor shooting percentage.There will be games like this against B1G opponents where Rutgers has to grind out wins because of poor shooting.

We led 57-33 with 7:30 to play and got outscored 14-4 the rest of the game. We got too concerned with taking 30 seconds off the clock and wound up taking a few horrible shots with 1 or 2 seconds on the clock. Corey did too much one on one today. He was 2-15 and often didn't pass the ball. We need to play team ball all the time. We also didn't get 2 points when Freeman was ahead of the field and he was called for a double dribble. At least we got the W. On to Florida State.
