Capel in his 2nd year took over a ridiculously bad Pitt and now probably has them possibly competing on the bubble for a ncaa bid this year while Pikiell has RU feasting on the likes of Niagara while the fans act like beating SF Austin was some groundbreaking moment in the program
No they stink.

This was always going to take 6-7 years don’t jump off the bandwagon now everybody just because you set expectations too high.

The biggest cause for concern is recruiting not the product in the floor

Agree...it’s recruiting. But his lack of recruiting is increasing the importance of showing major progress on the court this year.

Myles will be a very good player but he has to lose some of that “California Cool” and get tougher.

We could have five players score double digits and lose by ten plus this game.

I know I know you guys are going to tell me its the defense right?

no one makes f***ing shots for us.
It’s not the defense. The rules are set up for offense now. You have to be able to score to win. We stink on offense. I really like Pike but the Pike era is almost over.

Don’t see how this is a group remotely capable of postseason play this year or next

He's going to get six years, which he should. But I'm far less optimistic he does anything to warrant another extension than I was even a month ago.

Another road game where Rutgers will have a difficult time scoring 60 points.

My phone battery is about as dead as this team seems tonight. Battery saver mode.

Hoping for a shocking results on re start...lol.

Frankly, not surprised we may lose. Was a toss up game and we're weak in those.

The problem with this team is that we have like 8 guys that are essentially the same player and usually 4 of them are in at the same time at any given time. The only player out there that is different is Myles Johnson

We have more talent than Pitt. This team needs a “come to Jesus” moment. We are outhustled, unprepared, outcoached, and way softer than Pitt.

then we stand around let them run the clock down and leave a guy wide open at the foul line. Great defensive strategy.

We're gonna make this margin of defeat just small enough for people to delude themselves into blaming the refs.

Do you think "at least as good as last year" is too high for expectations? Because as of now we are significantly worse.

It’s one game and Pikiell is a notorious slow starter IMO he doesn’t figure out rotations til game 2 or 3 of conference play every year
