Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Houston

[RobotHunter]

What a terrible last 3 minutes of that game...RU was in total control...what an absolute choke job

 

[greenknight]

PIKE these kids deserved much better than that horse **** you pulled the last 3 minutes

 

[UMRU]

Playing Syracuse in the Sweet 16 would have been just too awesome. So close

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

15-2 run to end the game? Whooooof. Great season but what a collapse

Yeah, that's pathetic tbh. I didnt expect to win, and the season was still a success but..... you had the game

 

[theRU]

Geo baker greatest choke job ever. Good luck selling those NFTs with your turn overs

 

[DHajekRC84]

What a horrible missed opportunity we owned. Pikiells end game was pathetic as was the play of Rutgers.

 

[RUPartisan]

Great season. But wow Pike where were you when when the lead was slipping? Lose on him imo.

 

[fluoxetine]

Screw you. Better than listening to you ****.

?

They choked big time. No hate for them.

 

[CodyRU]

This schools teams NEVER FAIL TO CHOKE

PIKE these kids deserved much better than that horse **** you pulled the last 3 minutes

It’s easy to say that, But specifically what would you have liked Pike to do? What would you have done differently?

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Told you all from the start , Myles is a major bust and needs to go thank you but buh bye

He was hurt And we needed him even if he just stood there. He wasn’t the problem

 

[AntiG]

and thats why i hate prevent style play in any sport

 

[rutgersron]

Can't believe what I just saw. Gave them the freaking game when we were poised to go to the sweet 16!

 

[Shell21]

We didn’t shoot a foul shot in the second half . Not blaming the refs but come on . We wee driving the ball

 

[RUDead]

Pike takes the air out of the ball and gives away the lead again.

 

[SBP]

Ron Harper didn’t even jump for rebounds at the end. Pour coaching down the stretch.

 

[mikeyoc]

That is a foul on Myles in a league game

Told you all from the start , Myles is a major bust and needs to go thank you but buh bye

Playing on a bum ankle don't forget

 

[G- RUnit]

You guys who say refs don’t matter!

Houston had 16 foul shots in 2nd half?

Rutgers... none zilch zero!!

What a damn joke!!!!

 

[FireBugOBJC]

congratulations to the REFs, they finally did it.

Are you kidding?? Stall ball...missed frigging dunks..dribbling of their feet...but yea, the refs..go home

 

[BossNJ]

Missed alley oop was the turning point. Myles can’t freaking jump

 

[King of S]

Staling the offense hurt big time!! Come on Pike!

 

[Rokodesh]

Geo was fouled down 1, he hits two free throws, it's a different game. These dickless ******* refs didn't do their job the entire second half. 0 ******* free throws. They had shots on every ******* miss. Yes we blew it but the refs completely ****** us

 

[Rufaninga]

Needed to drive to the hoop more and get some points/fouls

Sucks to lose.

Great 2 back-back seasons to get us here though.

 

[mikershoein]

Yah, analyst sucked. We get it, the guy has an injury, and he’s still playing.

 

[fluoxetine]

Honestly I think the stalling is good strategy. The stalling didn’t make them **** up every possession.

Houston also with tons of luck at the end

 

[RUJMM78]

Defense and rebounding aren't enough to win tournament games..The woeful offense appeared in the last minutes of the game where a comfortable lead became a embarrassing loss.

 

[NickKnight 1]

Was it a 15-2 run to end it?

15- 2 Paul on the bench the best ball handler . and sure enough we turn it over.

 

[cyrock3]

It was a great season.

I should be madder than I am, but for some reason I expected this.

At least we proved we belonged in this tourney.

I would've preferred losing to the Cuse than to these guys though.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Pikell needs to get his act together when it comes to coaching the basics.

he’s been coaching not to lose all year with the lead and running the shot clock down just to hoist up a prayer. He only has one play and it finally bit us in the ***

 

[rubjk]

It’s easy to say that, But specifically what would you have liked Pike to do? What would you have done differently?

We lost on execution. Didn’t rebound, missed some gimmes.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Did pike miss layups and not box out? Missed that part. Morons blaming pike.

 

[RU MAN]

Why did we lose this game? Because of Myles missing TWO dunks and Calab thinking he's the man and shoots a BS three point shot when it wasn't needed. Houston didn't win this effin' game. We LOST IT! IAM SO PISSED! THAT GAME WAS OURS!!!!

 

[Joey Bags]

150% on pike ******** it, what the hell were you thinking running that offense?

 

[gregkoko]

PIKE these kids deserved much better than that horse **** you pulled the last 3 minutes

Team still has to execute the game plan. Plenty of blame to go around. We lost. It sucks. It was a fun ride. I wish it lasted another weekend.

 

[FIJI'83]

Listen, the players deserve tremendous credit for a gritty and determined effort. They made us proud. Unfortunately, Pikell played not to lose rather than to win. He played to hold on, rather than grabbing the other team by the throat. He coached scared at the end. That’s why our season ended when it shouldn’t have. He choked, not the players.

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

PIKE these kids deserved much better than that horse **** you pulled the last 3 minutes

what are you talking about. Pikiell coached his best game of the year.

Geo couldn’t do a think right the last 4 minutes. Grimes missed two fouls and the ball went right through his hands to grimes for a score. We couldn’t get a rebound for the life of us in last to 4 minutes.

 

[RUTRINI_rivals]

Geo baker greatest choke job ever. Good luck selling those NFTs with your turn overs

DON'T DO THAT. YOU ARE BETTER

 

[greenknight]

Not running any offense and Caleb throwing up a three was worse.

Hes terrible shooting 3's to start with and then throw in he wasn't even ready to shoot or committed to shoot

 

[RUPartisan]

It’s easy to say that, But specifically what would you have liked Pike to do? What would you have done differently?

Uh come up with a better plan than let the clock run down every possession when we have the slimmest of leads?! Attack the injured player?!

 

[tico brown]

If it makes everyone feel better, Houston will probably have to vacate this win 5 years from now.
