Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Michigan State

[richthedentist]

Coach needs to put Jacob back in. He has not played well, but need his defense to try and make a run.

Best of Luck,
Groz

Why he is 5 for 18

 

[RUby RED]

This is probably the worst game we’ve played in 3+ years. Gross, and the body language shows it

 

[greenknight]

Complete clownshow.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Should be a fun plane ride home.

 

[cyrock3]

This is a disgusting loss.

Let's just hope we make the NCAA tournament. We've lost 3 out of the last 4.

Need to stop this skid.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Myles has never gotten over the Ohio State game. He's been pouting ever since.

 

[newell138]

We have 40 points.

Shooting 29%

 

[RUforester72]

Good teams hit their foul shots.

 

[RW90]

I've never seen such a disjointed offense in my life. They've completely abandoned all sets, starting with the head coach.

 

[Shell21]

This is what we said the last 2 losses. We are trending in the wrong direction. Looking like huge pretenders.

This was the only *** kicking though from start to finish. Ohio state was the foul game and Iowa was a nip tuck loss

 

[richthedentist]

I find it interesting how animated Izzo is on the sideline yelling at the refs etc...

Need Pike to work the refs a bit more.

Pike never works the refs looks half dead on the sidelines he needs to get more fired up too late now but Jesus Christ do something

 

[RUsojo]

REALLY proud of myself for not taking Rutgers on the live line a half hour ago.
**** the bed tonight.

 

[RUShea]

Just clear the bench at this point. I'd rather see the freshmen the last 3 minutes

 

[richthedentist]

Myles has never gotten over the Ohio State game. He's been pouting ever since.

agreed he is not aggressive on defense and it shows

 

[ScarletDave]

Women’s team has Covid outbreak. Men’s team is pretty friendly with them. Makes you wonder

 

[jordkap]

Pike never works the refs looks half dead on the sidelines he needs to get more fired up too late now but Jesus Christ do something

I wish he would yell at somebody. He’s a freaking statue out there

 

[greenknight]

I'm running practice the 1st person that shoots without 3 passes will not see the floor next game. This is pick up ball not Major Division 1 basketball

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Bubble team. Im sorry guys. Reality is smacking you in the face

 

[shields]

People talking about getting to sweet sixteen. Want to just get to tourney.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

I hope this team hasn't been affected by COVID like the women's team. This was a nightmare performance.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Good teams hit their foul shots.

Really need to bring someone in here who can like make them

 

[ColonelRutgers]

29% from floor including 25% from three. 31% FT shooting.

Outrebounded 44-24 but that will happen when you never make a shot. Plenty of defensive rebound opportunities for the opponent.

 

[Jackson206:)]

Young should not be taking 18 shots. He is reverting back to last year.

 

[BOCA93]

This is way more than an Iowa hangover. This looks like a Jordan coached game tonight. Pike had no response for Izzo’s D. 40 pts with 3 mins left

 

[RUfan1027]

We aren’t good.

 

[JerseyShoreKnight]

The moping, not getting back on defensive, not making the extra effort for that rebound is just adding insult to injury. Is this team still that immature?

 

[RUsojo]

Really big mistake to move away for Mathis early.

People probably don’t even realize he’s 10th in the conference in scoring entering tonight.

Meanwhile he’s only 1 of 4 and everyone other than McConnell has more attempt then him.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Caleb looks like he did as a freshman.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Face it all, we are hopeless at the free throw line. That alone will cause us to lose against most good opponents.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Oh, great. Geo is hurt.

 

[RW90]

Ef it. Get the bench in there.

 

[Shell21]

Getting almost doubled up on the boards ; that’s all you need to know about our effort tonight

 

[richthedentist]

OH well now we lost Geo for another month

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Michigan State is normally not a good defensive team. They aren’t a dominant post team. We just didn’t show up. Unless this is that sparty game where they suddenly get good. Happens with them every year.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Is that RHJ over there with a reinjured ankle? WOW

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

OK, back to work, Just brutal on just about every level.

 

[Rutgers81]

Outcoached. Outplayed. Outdefended. We looked like a JV team.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Women’s team has Covid outbreak. Men’s team is pretty friendly with them. Makes you wonder

Thought the same thing but didn't want to post it. Pike never keeping his damn mask on is a problem as well.

 

[Caliknight]

Myles has too much frustration in him. I get it. He’s a big center who can’t score. That sucks. But hey, maybe if he made free throws he wouldn’t be fouled every time

Can't score and can't hit free throws. It's a terrible combination. He also misses a lot of dunks for a guy that size.

The kid gives effort on D and wants to win, but we really need to upgrade that position if we want to get to the next level. You simply can't have your center be this awful on one side of the floor.

20 point loss possibly more. Confidence is a fleeting thing in sports, but desperately needed to win. These are the types of games that destroy you.

No hyperbole. The next game is the biggest game of this season. It will be very telling.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Is that RHJ over there with a reinjured ankle? WOW

Was it GEO? Jesus
