Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Wisconsin

[Mr. Magoo1]

You’re wrong. It’s the players.

So you’re telling me there are sets but the players refuse to run them?

 

[bac2therac]

What would you have him do to prevent bobbles and missed shots ?

Those arent all the issues

Shot selection...showboat plays..at least 3 of them...not to mention instilling maturity...that is where a coach is responsible

Geo particularly terrible

 

[RU Mike73]

OH THE HUMANITY!!!!! We are down 1 at half. Most negative fan base imaginable.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Rookie lol

Oh I go back much further than that. Just watching bs basketball here since then ..lol

 

[bac2therac]

My question is what is the gameplan to win this game

We started with tough D but that quickly disappeared so what will it be now

Rutgers can win but good lord they need a serious attitude adjustment

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

This..i dont complain calls at all but refusing to work them at all is a derliction of duty

Or it’s recruiting players who are incapable of doing it. Either way, it’s coaching.

 

[rucoe89]

Bottom line - Rutgers is not a quality B1G team as of right now.

Look objectively at the shooting percentage. Look at our guard play. Look at how we catch the ball or not. Rutgers gets kids who are way behind the curve from a maturity standpoint you get maturity on the court. Our opponents players are much more seasoned when they arrive on campus.

 

[DHajekRC84]

No need to announce it....just go. Why are you still here? Lol

Fair point. 1, because I didn't want my fans to wonder where I went haha...and 2, because I had to go back and see the reaction to that last 20 seconds.

And three ... My input would have zero to do with the outcome. Oh how I wish I could be on that bench....

I get a do over but I am gone now... Kinda, may be, we'll see , hope so.

 

[bac2therac]

We should be up 10...people said the same down 5 to Sparty

 

[BOCA93]

That nonsense off the backboard by Geo was so idiotic. They can barely score as it is and he’s worried about highlight reel ****. RU dominated that half but it just shows how even having decent shooters can keep you in any game.

Don’t forget the refs took Myles Johnson out of the game with 2 BS calls

It is difficult to recruit at Rutgers. Not sure if you’ve noticed

This is Pikes team

Wisky has taken 12 less shots and is winning

 

[bethlehemfan]

Yea they are much better shooters.

 

[bac2therac]

Don’t forget the refs took Myles Johnson out of the game with 2 BS calls

No Myles did and he does it every game

 

[RUich]

Remember Casey Stengle's quote, "Can't anybody here play this game?"

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

So, are you now Making A Big Announcement that you are back ? Lol.

We are so lucky.

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

I don't think this is Pikiell's fault. During Coach's practices, I think the players are model citizens and they play the part of a discipline team, but they practice dunks, streetball and highlight reel goofy nonsense when they are away from coach on their own time. I think Pikiell's only fault would be not putting his foot down on this behavior, but it's hard when half your team plays undisciplined streetball during games

 

[Scangg]

Why are we just standing around? This offense completely blows.

Our set offense is so pathetic. Pike needs to bring someone on board who knows how to run one because he sure does not

Nothing but isolations and standing around. Anyone off the street can do this

Mods reporters need to start asking questions on this... is it Hobbs?

 

[BillyC80]

Myles looking strong!

 

[koleszar]

How the hell is Wisky shooting 50% from 3?

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Just can’t shoot. Period

 

[BillyC80]

Damn, getting to the hole and missing.

 

[RU848789]

I still feel like we're a better team and should win this game, but if they shoot 50% from three all game, it'll be tough to win.

 

[BillyC80]

Smooth finish by Kwasi!

 

[RU Mike73]

Kwasi

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Geo!

 

[BillyC80]

Geo! RU up by 5!

 

[RU848789]

Finally a trey for Geo,...

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Lol foul

 

[PatrickRU92]

another fine call

 

[koleszar]

Who the **** is that foul on? Pike needs to start exploding this bailing out sh*t by the refs has to end.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Are you fing kidding me?

 

[bac2therac]

Good start..here is the test...can they value their possessions going forward

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Refs know we win with Myles on the floor, so this. Criminals

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Absolute ******** call

 

[BillyC80]

Damn, that looked like a clean block by Myles.

 

[toby83]

Let's speed them up

 

[bac2therac]

Myles is a difference maker..has to avpiding getting his third
