Rutgers vs Fordham / Game Thread

[RUsojo]

Pike has already made the adjustment on offense should be smooth sailing from here on out.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Waking up THANK GOD!! I just wish they’d come out with more OOMPH in non-conference games!!

 

[Dpgru]

11-2. Run. Keep it up.

 

[PatrickRU92]

classic Pike/RU game. Great defense, struggle to score.

Why would you jinx it? Geez.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Coaching staff was very concerned about the lack of intensity by Rutgers coming into this game given the lack of amenities etc. and coming after 3 game stretch that we just had

 

[BillyC80]

Shake n Baker!

 

[koleszar]

Stone cold once again from three, 1-6. Man if we could just get that form back we'd be pretty good.

O and bullsh*t Offensive foul on Kiss.

 

[BillyC80]

How are we getting outrebounded there?

 

[RUsojo]

Relax lol

Understandable. With a little "motivation" at half time maybe we come out on fire in the second half

 

[koleszar]

It's good and the curse of the prayer three continues.

 

[PatrickRU92]

and of course thats good. fml.

 

[Dpgru]

It is good. What bad luck

 

[RU848789]

count it, 31-26

 

[PatrickRU92]

same stuff different day for Rutgers, We gotta be able to shoot the ball from outside. It's just glaring persistent deficiency

 

[BillyC80]

That’s gonna count.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

What a God-awful half.

 

[Dpgru]

Unfortunately for me I need to go out for the rest of the day and will not be around to watch the second half. Thanks for the conversation, if only for one half. Go RU, come out smokin!!!

 

[bac2therac]

Better play but negated by that 5-0 run...31-26...still dangerous given Rutgers penchant for slow half time starts. The intensity has to be there from the get go or Fordham will not go away..intangibles all going the Rams way

 

[Goku]

Very annoying half. The shots are close for us but need to fall

 

[KnightTerrors]

Outside of this kid Honor, this team is atrocious. We better pull away.

 

[BillyC80]

Need to come out in fire in the second half.

 

[4theknights]

First four min of 2h have not been good... Need to change that today!!!

 

[shields]

lousy half.

 

[LiKnight]

lousy half.

Are you at the game?

 

[RUfromNJ]

Might want to guard that Honor kid

 

[Bob Chaewsky_rivals]

Worst half all year by Geo. Passes up easy scores and then takes difficult shots. Could have easily had 15 in the first half and we would be up by the same amount. Can't wait to watch Mulcahy run the show.

 

[zebnatto]

Is it me, or is this just a really frustrating half of basketball?

 

[CranfordKnight]

I'm at the game with the family doing the college visit/game thing. If we could finish around the basket and EO settled down with the forcing shots, this would be a blowout. I think we wear them down in the 2nd half

 

[RU82]

It’s not you. We weren’t sharp.

Good news is we apparently don’t need to be to pull this one out.

 

[LiKnight]

Is it me, or is this just a really frustrating half of basketball?

Missing way too many easy shots.

 

[koleszar]

And the slow starts out of the half continue....

 

[RUsojo]

How can the offense be this bad three years running? Ultimately this should go has @CranfordKnight says

 

[bac2therac]

This team deserves to lose this game

 

[wngarbarini]

Looking like crap again. Letting a kid go coast to coast with stopping him is lazy and basketball 101. Wake up or you will get your butts beat

 

[JQRU91]

How can the offense be this bad three years running?

They caught something from the football team?

 

[RUsojo]

I honestly don’t see the point in going big since none of our hugs can score. Go “small” and still be bigger but be faster

 

[RuBird]

Baker is special

I fully expect a 15 to 20 point half from him in the second hopefully it’s enough.
