CViv's Quest for 900

[UConnCat]

At halftime

Rutgers 19
Syracuse 15

There are probably 300 people at the Carrier Dome. It must be painful.

 

[VAMike23]

Oh my.

 

[UConnChapette]

I hope she gets that blasted win #900. I am tired of hearing about it. Though I will confess to taking pleasure in how long it is taking her to get there. Yes, I am evil tonight.

 

[Vowelguy]

Is Rutgers going for 900 wins OR 900 points scored this year?

[Blueballer]

Another typical ugly as sin RU game. Low scoring. Players clobbering each other. Very few calls. Don't like the direction our game has taken. "Pretty" basketball is sadly in the rear view mirror.

 

[Vowelguy]

25-24 with 12 to go

first one to 40 wins?

 

[Icebear]

Maybe 30.

Doesnt Syracuse have a smaller arena/gym that they can play their games ???

They do - Manley Field House - but they moved all their games to the CarrierDome several years ago.

The women's team used to play at Manley Field House. I guess Q thinks of Manley as too small for his program. Or maybe he thinks forcing visiting teams to shoot in an empty dome is his team's best defender.

9 mins left and RU has 8 points in the 2nd half: 2 baskets and 4 FTs.

Rutgers 27
Syracuse 34

It's hideous: less than 10 minutes left, neither team has reached 30, and are a combined 11/20 from the line. Good luck, ACC and Big 10.

Well they need to move them back.

From Wiki - Looks like the option was taken away.

On September 26, 2007, ground was broken for the new Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center, which will house practice courts, weight rooms, locker rooms and offices for both the men’s and women’s basketball teams. This will free up Manley Field House, which is the current practice facility for the teams. Additionally, for the 2007-2008 season, the women’s basketball team will play all of its home games in the Carrier Dome for the first time. With basketball out of Manley Field House, the arena will be converted into an indoor practice facility for football and men’s and women’s lacrosse.
Due to the climate of Syracuse, the University had lost a recruiting edge to other schools with newer football facilities. The field house will be retrofitted with Field Turf and will provide ample practice space for the outdoor teams, which usually fight for space (usually only half of a field) in the Carrier Dome in late-winter/early-spring when the basketball court is still set up. Full glass windows will be installed and the seating will be removed, creating room for nearly a full-sized football field. The entrance to the sports complex will be upgraded to create a sleek new look, joining the new basketball with the renovated field house and the Iocolano-Petty Football Complex.
On January 27, 2008, a temporary AstroTurf-like "carpet" was installed to provide immediate practice space for the outdoor teams until the permanent installation takes place.

I actually look forward to seeing Syracuse in action next year... they have some good young talent.

 

[Vowelguy]

Stunning result -- they broke 100 points!

First 13 mins: Rutgers 15 Syracuse 13
Middle 14 mins: Rutgers 10 Syracuse 11
Final 13 mins: Rutgers 20 Syracuse 34

I joked in a previous thread that Stringer might have to wait til next year to get to 900.... well..... She might can snag one in March.

Pitt and Cinn are still on the schedule. Not gimmes for Rutgers, but they have a chance.

58 to 45 Vivians quest continues.

 

[pinotbear]

First team to 45 wins!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Woeful lack of scoring until the end.

Prediction: She'll get win #900 before loss #900.

 

[huskybill]

846 watched this thrilling game. It's amazing that Q. can keep raising the level of talent of his team without any appreciation what-so-ever from the college community. And why do kids keep wanting to go to a team nobody cares about?

58 to 45 Vivians quest continues.

As expected, SU is the better team this year.

I believe Manley has been totally converted to indoor track and soccer.
