Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Penn State

[BillyC80]

PSU is beating us with way more energy, confidence and aggression.

 

[Woody522]

Recruiting better pick up...i said it after the Pitt game and its evident now

it only will if we want to match other teams offers $$$$.

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Its a poorly Coached team. Alot of people wont admit this tho[/QUOTErigh

This is hard to watch.

Hard to believe we’re going to make the ncaa’s right now.

we will lose every game the rest of the year. That’s what the team is showing me right now

 

[koleszar]

Well at least Pike has plenty of money to get good and fvcked up on the bus ride home. What a blunder of a decision to announce that today. Star Liar is licking it's chops.

 

[gmay8]

This team is a disgrace. Really friggen annoying looking forward to a game all week to see this kind of effort. Absolutely pathetic. Pikiell cashed in a nice fat extension and stopped coaching.

 

[MV9000]

I’ve never been overly critical in any past thread. Normally don’t gamethread post. But this is a ******* **** show.

 

[rufeelinit]

Not sure we even have our obligatory close the 20 point gap to 10 in the second half in us tonight.

 

[RUJMM78]

This might be the worse performance of the season when Rutgers needed one of their best performances.

 

[jordkap]

Pike tried to make a point that his team was picked 12th. They may end up 12th

 

[Scangg]

Myles Johnson is a failure

He may be better suited as a backup center

 

[fluoxetine]

If they actually manage to blow this they shouldn't be allowed on campus for the rest of the semester.

 

[RUsince52]

Just when you think it can't get much worse, we take it to another level. Really ugly !!!!

 

[satnom]

This is horrible.

GO RU

 

[bac2therac]

We’ve sucked ever since we were ranked

Where is that guy who posted relentlessly as recent as last week we should be ranked

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

As Pike says we were picked for 12th

 

[RUsojo]

What happened to this team?

law of averages when it comes to 3 pt shooting, pike not knowing how to use any of his guards, and other teams being at full strength or closer to it more frequently.

In a nutshell

 

[billgumpper]

The wheels have come off this team. Time to watch something else.

 

[Scarletnut]

Its okay Hobbs extended him...kiss of death...Hollywood Hobbs

No, the kiss of death was getting ranked

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Good bye Cliff O. He won’t want to join this clown show.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

What happened to this team?

Luck ran out. As ive said, you have a low low low ceiling when you dont run an offense, your defensive philosophy is hope the team doesnt hit open 3’s that we give them.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

What a shitshow. Pike has them ready to play again.

 

[oliverm_rivals]

Johnson is playing like the aliens from space jam stole his talent.

 

[read option]

Good old RU. Suck you in, bring hopes to a high level, and then not only fail, but do so epically. So typical

 

[Caliknight]

PSU is beating us with way more energy, confidence and aggression.

And talent. They can shoot. We can't.

 

[BillyC80]

It seems counterintuitive but I would slow us down dramatically on the offensive end.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Can’t argue with this.

And his comments post game are sounding annoying

Oh they played hard blah blah..same monotone bs no sense of urgency or expectation

 

[RutgersChow]

This team has lost all offensive confidence, stopped being a premier offensive rebounding team and still can’t guard the corner 3

Don't think this is about confidence. It's about needing better players and running something that resembles an offense.

 

[koleszar]

Hey the top of the arc weave. How exciting and new.

 

[MS-RU]

How does a D1 basketball team not have anyone on the roster who can shoot the ball consistently

 

[bac2therac]

As Pike says we were picked for 12th

And thats where we are headed

 

[Shell21]

Johnson has to be sick or something . No excuse to be this bad for this long and play dumb basketball time after time

 

[RUTrack94]

No, the kiss of death was getting ranked

Yep ... seems like that in most sports.

 

[tfio]

Our layups don't even hit rim lol

 

[RUsojo]

So many different line up combos Pike desperate just throwing **** against the wall hoping it sticks

 

[bac2therac]

This game was lost the first 2 minutes with their mindset

 

[fluoxetine]

We play offense like scared girls.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Hey the top of the arc weave. How exciting and new.

to be followed by the Geo step back heave at the shot clock buzzer

 

[RUsojo]

Third foul on Mulcahy should help us

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

This team has no fight. JC do they not know what is on the line?????
