Rutgers is tough at home.  We bring the energy of the last 2 games, take good shots, force turnovers, and take care of the ball, we should have a chance.

Think we have a punchers chance in every game. Problem is we do what you said for 25-30 minutes and then all hell breaks loose and we slide back to bad habits.

Another school with a ton of height, one of the biggest in Div-1

Not a Keisei matchup. Mulcahy and McConnell both come in over 6'6. Lakes and CJ should probably get an uptick in minutes tonight. Keon maybe, but until I see it I'm not expecting it.

You can get away with Keisei a lot easier in this one as Mulcahy and McConnell aren't in the same zip code as Gabe Brown and Max Christie in terms of offensive firepower.

Tonight???

 

Was there a schedule change that I was not aware of?

Remember that Michigan team that smoked us by 35? Rutgers beat them, so they might be feeling their oats in this one. Hoping Bryce goes OFF for 30+ & we can crack that B1G seal…

That's probably fair. Not as athletic. McConnell is athletic, but ideally you stick Bryce on him and Keisei on Mulcahy

Harper Jr., and Baker are good, experienced players.

just take this game so I can stop disliking this team for the rest of the year.

Walker may be able to eat this guys lunch today.

A Lat dribble and a turnover... mark that on your bingo card.

 

It's actually the free space because it happens every game.

Seems Better to get the Rebound in the first place than a reach-in foul later!

How can we get some experienced players? 

[hskr4life]

If there's a game we might think about taking away the drive vs letting the team get 3's... this one might be it.

Well, they have the advantage of being in the same program together for 4 years.

Nice make on an open three for McGowans.  Now please don't follow up with 10 "heat check" threes.  

[Red Don]

Sign in front says "Sold Out"  yet only about 6,000 (8,000 cap arena).   Have they ever thought about Double-selling tickets for the 'no-shows?'

We're 1 foul away from giving Rutgers FT's for 13 minutes straight.

[Red Don]

Refs seem to be calling a tight game (so far) 10 pfs (6 &4)

 

(only a little tighter on us)
