Rutgers (Away) Game Discussion

I really hope we take it to Rutgers tomorrow.   Just come out fired up and never let off the pedal. 
Need to learn to put teams away / bury them.   I think our guys have confidence they can win games in the BE, but I don't know that they have that feeling of controlling a game start to finish.   
This is a big stretch here, the next week. 

Agreed. I don't think we are out of the hunt yet, but we have to win 2 of 3 here, preferably all 3.

STJ:  51
RUT:  48

Branch with 2 FTs to push the lead to 3 with under 10 secs to play tonight!! 

The game is tomorrow.

thanks, i would have been the first fan in line if not for your post, haha

we were beat by the 2 bench players-Poole and Johnson who had 20 against us--need to shut them down.

offensively got nothing from point guard (green 2 and branch 1);  Branch minutes up and in last 2 games averaged 13 points.  Need another big effort; as long as teams want to smother Dangelo; the point will be open.  Must exploit that as we did versus DePaul. AND obviously hit the FT's--the difference last time vs RU

As some of the guys said in their quotes today, RU switches on almost every screen.   Sampson/Dom/Amir need to hit open shots when they're being guarded by a shorter guard. 
And the flip side of that is D'angelo should fire away a couple times if they're not going to fight through screens.   Make 'em pay. 

My favorite 75 year old, nasty ref!

It comes down to defense. Have to limit the baskets that require no effort to make.

Burr has called 4 previous STJ games this year calling 91 fouls for an average of 22.8 fouls per game.  The Home Margin for fouls is -11

Phil Greene still starting.

What is the point of jakarr getting the ball 40 feet away from the hoop?

Teams show Greene absolutely no respect around the perimeter and rightfully so.

Branch still playing like an allstar.

I hope marco  gets some looks like that.

Nom interest in seeing Marco

Can we cut out the Greene experiment now? He's not a starter.

He should be in there. He at the very least keeps the guy who doubles on drives from our other guards at bay. Can't help on Branch with Marco and DLo at the three point line.

Nom nom ?

Sampson can't take shots like that.

Jakarr rushing shots. 5 shots to d'los 0

I rather see Marco in that spot I think we would give up a little defensively but gain a lot offensively.. Would also lead me to start co over Dom, think Dom is a needed boost off the bench along with felix
