It was one loss by 3 points. It happens in basketball. Hold off on making blanket statements for the entire season.

Can everyone calm the f*** down
- Thread starter arigoldrutgers
- Start date
What’s the point of a message board if we are all calm?
To the worst team in the Big East no we can’t the problem are too numerous and Pikes stubbornness to play his guys that are hurting the team just continues to amaze me
While there’s definitely too many on this board that bask in self-loathing, I don’t think the negativity is centered strictly around the DePaul loss. It’s a combination of the warning signs we’ve seen across the first 4 games and subpar recruiting that suggests we’ll continue to struggle to address the deficiencies we’ve seen so far on the court
I seem to recall a home loss to St Peter's when the team had James Bailey. Can only imagine what a board would have been like then.

5 win team last yr with 7 scholarship players, new coach and mostly new guys vs our NCAA veterans yeah NOTHING to panic about.
Our guys weren't even standing under the basket at times. Saw our guys jogging back and forth. And ZERO defensive rebounds for our star center. You understand that if next year looks like a wash, he could easily transfer to another school (like Oregon!), right?

Does it not give you pause that you justify how bad DePaul is based on last year’s record… while also noting in the same post that they have a new coach and mostly new players?
SEVEN PLAYERS. Justify this dogshit team all you want I'm not buying the crap you are peddling.
James Bailey didn’t play That night and knightline that night was like these boards
Then...a funny thing happened
A little thing called the ECAC holiday festival in the garden...
So what? They are three games into the season, there is no reason a seven man rotation can’t work. It’s not like they are fatigued and worn down…
I don’t even think DePaul is good or that we are either. But your posts are bad, full of contradictory ********, and make assumptions that DePaul is literally the worst in the Big East which is based on basically nothing.
The Lehigh game was much worse than the DePaul one.
"The Lehigh game was much worse than the DePaul one."
You are obviously high. A win is always better than a loss. Stop embarrassing yourself.
You’re a ******* idiot dude. The team performed worse against Lehigh than they did against DePaul. Continue on pretending that DePaul is a high school team so that you can exaggerate how bad we are playing and fulfill your need to whine like a *****.
Yes, it is still early in the season.
A few observations in the DePaul game.
- we don't box out well....two or three Rutgers players under the basket after a bad shot and a DePaul player gets the rebound.
- We need to go to the basket more to pickup easy foul shot points.
- Less one-on-one playground shooting displays....easier to put back rebounds when moving the defense.
- we need more intense defense throughout the game, not just we need to score points coming from behind
Well, I've said it!

Last year Nebraska had a 30 point lead on us with 5 minutes left.
What is your point?
Last year we had one of the best defensive centers in the nation, if you don't believe it ask any opposing coach.
We had one of the best defensive guards in the nation, and also one of the fastest.
On top of Geo, Ron and Paul.
We were poorly coached for the most part
My point is that last year’s team easily would’ve/could’ve lost to DePaul on a bad night.
Leave it to greenfig to agree with the guy claiming a win is worse than a loss. Anyone that agrees with that is an utter moron.
…
We were down 30, last year, to Nebraska. How can you possibly think we couldn’t have lost to DePaul?
Because Nebraska was better than DePaul? DePaul is one of the worst teams in college basketball. Paint up that pig all you want but it's still a pig.
To be clear, your claim is that last year’s Nebraska team was as least 30 points better than this year’s DePaul team?
That's absurd. The team that showed up to that Nebraska game would've lost last night and probably to Lehigh, Merrimack, and NJIT as well.
And that was a very important game.
This Ash dude is a Bandwagon fan....just popped in last year out if nowhere.
For me it's not who we played and if they are any good or not. I'm more concerned about our team and what we do and don't do. I just want us to run some offensive set that doesn't involve that idiotic ball screen 25 feet from the basket. How did the game of basketball flourish all these decades without doing that? Now it seems to be obligatory for every team to do it.
The next time we screen away from the ball will be the first time we've done it.
The next time we screen away from the ball will be the first time we've done it.
So I'm a bandwagon fan for thinking that a win is better than a loss? Cause the NCAA tournament agrees with me.
this ended when it became just normal to carry the ball, which makes it easier to go one on one vs your defender.
You are bandwagon in fan because it's true.
You are bandwagon fan because it's true. You were never around during the first 3 Pikiell years, you jump on board as soon as the team makes the tourney. AND, now you are a loud mouth complainer. Hurling insults around. You are not adding any value here for people who like to talk Rutgers basketball. Most of the people here will put you on ignore real soon. You can talk to yourself.

You have to think that other coaches see RU as ripe for the picking. If Jones and Cliff keep paying well, other teams may take a run at them. Actually, you basically have to assume it.
******** I posted throughout all those years and the Jordan years. If you don't remember it's probably early onset dimentia. Get yourself checked if you're so adamant that it's true.
I dont recall you being on this board back when the team was not good. Perhaps you were on under a different screen name?
Good! I couldn't care less. I took enough shots at Jordan to last a lifetime. Anyone pretending that seniority on a meaningless message board makes what someone says matter more or less is a joke. Nobody cares if you people wasted your time posting when the team was garbage.
