Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Northwestern

[ScarletDave]

CANNOT have Mathis, Cliff and Harper in there together

 

[greenknight]

Jy an tez need to stop forcing stuff they kill us

 

[theRU]

Mind numbing right now

 

[bac2therac]

rutgers 6 minutes without a basket

 

[bmtRUgrad]

CANNOT have Mathis, Cliff and Harper in there together

Agreed

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

We’re seeing “bad Young”. Time to sit

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

We have 5 fouls already to make this ugly stretch of fumbling and bumbling.

 

[zappaa]

Where’s Cliff

 

[RUBlackout]

Get Cliff out!!! Liability on defense

 

[Ronnie_B]

Myles should never have zero FG attempts in a 4-minute span, especially after how well he played in the first half.

Never stop pounding it underneath if it's working, that's basketball basics 101.

 

[RUJMM78]

Offense is so bad allowing Northwestern to get back in the game.score now 41-38.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Offensive droughts just kill this team.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Get JY out of the game..

 

[bac2therac]

7 minutes without a fg

 

[Night Man]

This isn't Cliff's fault but Myles is such a + player that we need him back in there

 

[Ronnie_B]

We need a TO

 

[RUsojo]

Brutal

 

[bac2therac]

no timeout for Pikiell.....wow

 

[NickKnight 1]

Is it me or is it deja vu any game where they get up by 12-14 pts. They immediately start doing dumb **** and squander the lead.

11-0 let me jinks NW

 

[RU Mike73]

Tez is a major liability.

 

[greenknight]

MJ for a big big man he has to have the weakest hands

 

[carmenst]

Not sure why Pike has not called a timeout during the NW run .

 

[bac2therac]

Northwestern is not good...again..they are not good....that we have played like complete **** and dont look functional at this point in the season is inexcusable

 

[bmtRUgrad]

Need Geo to show up

 

[theRU]

How do we not have someone who can drive to the basket? 6 minutes scoring droughts... Wtf

 

[rufeelinit]

Does it always need to be so painful at times?

 

[RU_Goo]

Tez is a major liability.

man , what happened to that kid

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Can we please try a 2 point jumper to get back on track like last time? Please?

 

[zappaa]

Brutal

JY and Mathis on the floor?

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Absolutely boggles my mind how a head coach has three timeouts to use and just lets the lead evaporate in front of his eyes without using a single one of them ...and he does it time and time again. I don’t get it.

 

[jersey07080]

MJ for a big big man he has to have the weakest hands

Head scratcher here.

 

[bac2therac]

the Baker slow and weak to the basket blocked jam was the start of all this...could have been up 16

 

[Ronnie_B]

The most frustrating part of watching our guys over the past two years is this - whenever we have an opponent by the throat, we fail to finish them off. We always let them back into the game.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

4 points this half.

 

[IL Lusciato]

EVERY.

GAME.

 

[fluoxetine]

the last two possessions for 3...stop defending that bs

I see you are ready to die on the “actually taking 3 pointers is bad basketball” hill, okay, have fun lol

 

[RUBlackout]

Pike is very similar to our players..has major lapses during the game.
we need him to be on point and regroup to call timeouts to get momentum back and try changing up the defense.

some players need to ride the pine

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

the Baker slow and weak to the basket blocked jam was the start of all this...could have been up 16

He had McConnell trailing

 

[JFK20]

Terrible by Pikiell right there. Absolutely awful. How do you not call a TO during that stretch?

 

[DHajekRC84]

Wtf is coach doing? Saw it building into this cluster. Playing for Geo to be last minute star?
