Basketball Rutgers Basketball pulls away late, wins season-opener over Rider

[dark_check]

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.

Can he get those off v big ten defenders

 

[bac2therac]

Buchanan is definitely not going to be shy in getting his

His ft form needs work

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

5 assists on 6 FGs

 

[RUgal]

5 assists on 6 FGs

Passing is good but I wish they'd move more on offense.

 

[rob kight]

one Problem- no inside scoring threat.

 

[BillyC80]

Trouble finishing around the rim so far.

 

[koleszar]

1 of 14 shooting? Eek They better hustle their asses off on D.

 

[bac2therac]

Just 4 points in 8 minutes...here we go again

1fg

12-4 Rider run

 

[RUDiddy777]

Starting to like this team already.

 

[koleszar]

Now 1 of 16 this is really bad. Be afraid, very afraid.

 

[Branchrentals]

Both these teams are terrible

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Brutal

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Brutal. L possible?

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Two awful teams.

 

[Anon1751632159]

Kirk C design Rutgers BBall offense too ??

 

[bac2therac]

Starting to like this team already.

I did but this offense has been atrocious for 8 minutes vs an overmatched team

 

[rob kight]

Buchanan is definitely not going to be shy in getting his

His ft form needs work

Hard to believe that coaches didn't tutor him in preseason not to be throwing line drive free throws

 

[JudgeSmails56]

They absolutely stink.. gonna be a looonnnnggg year

 

[MadRU]

Momentum lost with first substitution

 

[RUgal]

They need to settle down and actually run an offense. Right now it's just guys chucking up shots and mostly missing.

 

[Zebnatto1!]

Interior scoring nonexistent. Shooting has gone cold. Sets look same as previous seasons

 

[BOCA93]

Yikes. Offense is going to be a challenge

 

[RUTGERS95]

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

agree plus, seems to still have no real offense

 

[Degaz-RU]

Interior scoring nonexistent. Shooting has gone cold. Sets look same as previous seasons

Rider playing zone, and Rutgers not attacking it

 

[koleszar]

0 of 8 on layups. Do we teach kids how to miss these in practice?

 

[EddieWilsonLives]

Are you Green Rice Fig?

no
he didn't come back ?

my name is Toby I think it was my old ID. I had RU#s Pic as my profile, the guy here who talks to himself .

 

[RUDiddy777]

Half those misses from Badalu. Needs to settle down.

 

[RUDiddy777]

I did but this offense has been atrocious for 8 minutes vs an overmatched team

im a little delayed - watching from home. Yeah, brutal stretch. Badalu needs to settle down.

 

[bac2therac]

EO aint no answer at center thats for sure

 

[OkRUguy]

Ogbole is doo doo

 

[bac2therac]

no
he didn't come back ?

Ah yes..i like you!

Grf gave up season tix and hssnt been back heee

 

[RUDiddy777]

Need JMike to lead here and get everyone settled.

 

[OkRUguy]

Need JMike to lead here and get everyone settled.

What a scary sentence

 

[BillyC80]

EO aint no answer at center thats for sure

Fall seems like a stiff too, unfortunately. Would like to see if Dortch can give us something.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Ogbole is doo doo

Has 6 rebounds, and is playing good D. Just not a scorer, but we knew that.

 

[Zebnatto1!]

Rider playing zone, and Rutgers not attacking it

When we get a seam we force attack to rim when we are wide open on perimeter.

 

[koleszar]

Pike needs to manufacture offense with this crew with actual plays. However, he's never done that and I don't think he knows how to.

 

[93RUDoc]

No inside game, just chucking bricks from 3 pt line

 

[koleszar]

This European Babalou kid sucks. Go back to the Jungle Book.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

I miss Palmquist
