Absolute disgrace: ALL on you Pikes

[AreYouNUTS]

I have enough thoughts about this game, and a lot of games involving a lot of our teams, and how ****** we come out of the locker room both to start games and to start second-halfs, but I have one question for our head coach right now::

Why the **** didn’t we start pressing earlier? You’re on the road. You’re against an opponent that’s not going to quit. In the gym and playing with rims that are going to give you anything in officials that sucked *** all day. You’re down and not playing well. So why not do something different on that court today, when there was actually time left to make a difference, instead of waiting until there was 3-minutes left in the ******* game to press? What the **** kind of coaching is that? AWFUL!!

Yes, the team look like they weren’t in it from the beginning, whether some of them weren’t feeling well or not I don’t know, but that’s beside the point. We did nothing, absolutely nothing coaching wise, to make a difference in the second half and that’s downright embarrassing.

We are bad on offense. Chill out. We’re not as good as some of you would like to think.

Not sure anyone thinks this is a good team.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Pike made a huge withdrawal from the good-will bank today.

Need to make some foul shots too, go one for two too many times.

I never said we were good on offense. Read my post again: if you’re not doing well and can’t do anything on I to make it up then change something on defense to change the flow of the ******* game!!

Pretty simple! Make a ******* attempt at least which we did not do until the final three minutes of the game!

People we’re talking NIT after beating a mediocre Miami team

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I LOVE Pikes but this was Schiano-esque.

 

[bac2therac]

it was a shitshow across the board...from players to coaching staff....pretty much everyone is to blame

Honestly, I really don’t care. Big mistake by Pike not pressing, but I’m not gonna lose my mind because we’re inept

I’d love to experience Schiano-esque seasons in basketball at some point.

we had fools talking NCAA during the first half of Michigan State game...RU is still in the bottom 4 schools in the Big 10 and maybe the worst

I see. At the end of the season this will be a bottom level B1G team.

Geo looked like he had no energy and you wanted him to chase Honor around full court the entire second half?

Exactly. We’re gonna play a lot of close games in the B1G, but we can’t score so we’ll have a lot moral victories and pay ourselves on the back, but we really need young and Mulcahy next year. Geo is out of position this and will be until someone else can play point

Where in my post did I say entire game

Well I was going with the “wtf” and stubborn aspects lol!!

 

[78CollegeAve]

Remember the time when Pikiell promised thatnhis teams would always scrap. and hustle. Yeah, that was awesome!

Consistently top 40 would be pretty cool.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Word coming out of the Bronx is that Hobbs may be hiring Fordham’s soccer coach to take over the reins here. If so, that would be an excellent hire, one of the top candidates out there that we were looking at, and maybe he can keep us from losing the Fordham I’m at least 1 sport LOL!!

 

[sct1111]

When did you want them to start pressing then? It's hard for us to press. We don't have the guards to do it for very long. We're also too dependent on Geo to score, facilitate and handle the ball. Pressing too much just wears him out.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Honestly I really hope we hear that half the team is coming down with the flu because that’s the only thing that’s gonna make me feel remotely better about today. I’m just flabbergasted right now sorry guys!

Miami sucks. They lost to Yale and Penn after Rutgers.
This could be a long season in the B1G.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Don’t you think maybe a little bit of this is on the players?

 

[ScarletDave]

Today, Pike seemed to coach like he really is from the Hobbs tree of not having sports IQ

 

[Plum Street]

Relax people . It’s a wtf loss . It happens . Signs are there that pike is building this right. This is a throw away year . Next year we will see if pike is really the “closer” or not. He needs to show it in the win in column in year 4, not year 3

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Read my OP again. We didn’t play well, no question, But when you have more talent on paper it’s up to the coaching staff to do something to make changes during the flow of the game that will affect the outcome of the game. Our head coach in our coaching staff did not do that in my humble opinion.

Also, if you followed my post throughout the game thread, you will see that I put plenty on the players as well EARLIER in the game.

Coming from you this is beyond hysterical so thank you for making me laugh a little right now ha ha ha ha!

Why is it hysterical? I am a pretty optimistic and realistic guy.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

I LOVE Pikes but this was Schiano-esque.

This was Jordan-esque. The team and the coach quit.

Yes you’re absolutely well known for your heavy doses of optimism my friend! :eyes:[cheers][thumb2]

Year 2021 BIG Media day - "This is a 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 year build guys"

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Today was a disgrace

Typical Rutgers sports, take an opponent lightly and get embarrassed

Anyone that is a rutgers fan and believes this school will actually do something to be proud of has to be optimistic.

Nuts is absolutely right. What does size matter if you don't use it. Last game we never put Happ on the line end game, where's the strategy , in game adjustments, and end game push to finish.
When you're not a great scoring team, you have to figure things out. Not just via line up, but what the players are supposed to do and not do.
B1G teams aren't like city ball where players just play. Its a coaching league more.

 

[bac2therac]

I think when guys like Geo, Kiss and Eugene are struggling..pike has to trust his freshmen talent to help the team....interesting how effective Harper was toward the end

 

[waretown]

I LOVE Pikes but this was Schiano-esque.

more like ash-esque

 

[bac2therac]

This was Jordan-esque. The team and the coach quit.

Two key moments...Rutgers goes up two 56-54 and geo blows layup and rebound layup blown...FU comes down and hits 3...huge there and Ru wilted allowing the Rams to go up 9

Then after cutting to 5...ru ran 30 sec off only to foul...wtf why...bad coaching

 

[AreYouNUTS]

more like ash-esque

Apparently you’re forgetting about Greg’s habits of both losing to teams he shouldn’t lose too and being way too stubborn to make changes during the flow of the game....

 

[RUJMM78]

I LOVE Pikes but this was Schiano-esque.

Rutgers has a long history of losing games home and away against opponents that should have been easy wins.
