Rutgers Exhibition

[SJUWillRockNYC]

Looks like they took a point away, now it's showing 41-23

 

[Amaseinyourface]

Taylor with 4 assists and 3 steals in the first half to along with 4 boards and 3 pts. Him and Jenkins leading minutes by healthy margin.

Traore with surprisingly good stats first half.

And +18 leading the team

 

[Marillac2]

Traore could come in handy w interior minutes

I wrote him off as anything more than emergency depth. I’d love to be seriously wrong here.

Gentleman, we finally have an offensive game to watch.

Damn this year is going to be so much fun to watch.

Calm down, cowboy. It's our first game and it's only an exhibition. We have a whole season ahead. (Which I can't wait to see!)

 

[Delaware]

And basically nothing from Soriano.

Joel never cat quick, but seems step slow from observations

 

[RipDumaine 132]

Happy to see Traore rewarding Pitino confidence in him from the beginning

Last basket was a 2. They put 3 on the board initially, but it was always a 2.

Joel never cat quick, but seems step slow from observations

Probably second guessing himself with all this new talent around him.

Halftime Boxscore

Rutgers only shooting 29%. That should change in the second half.

Me too

lol exactly, it's our first game and only an exibition and their looking pretty good up by 18 at halftime.
Just imagine these guys in February, with 3 more months of practicing/playing together, they're going to kick the snot out of some teams.

Taylor stats impressive per Mase

 

[SJU85]

Carnesseca, Mahoney, Rutledge, Rafferty, D’Allessandro (former SJU Manager and current GM Orlando Magic), Rencher, Hatten, Hamilton, Pickney (Nova), Turner, Brown (Anderson staff who he let go) at the game.

Add George Johnson, Tyrone Grant, Chudney Gray and Seth Greenberg to the list.

Nah, it's Ricks defense.

 

[paultzman]

“Cigar Guy” happy, all that counts

 

[SJU85]

Same starting five for second half except Zuby in for Soriano (3 fouls).
