Tonight cemented two things. 1) B1G got embarrassed by Big East in the Gavitt games, so very possible the conference will get fewer teams into the tournament than expected. 2). #1 doesn’t matter cause we ain’t sniffing the bubble.

Well, now we really know that we're not going to be very good this year (couldn't be sure after the first 3 games IMO). So much for all the talk about this being Pike's best team. Disappointing.
Patience. Didn’t really gel until the SHU/Caldwell games in 2019.

This is an awful team. We have no one that can get inside. No mid range shooters. Defense is horrific. Can't steal, can't transition after a miss. Just awful basketball making DePaul look like we're playing Kansas.

we miss Young more than anyone else. Nobody can slash. Caleb stands around and throws up some of the ugliest shots ever. Not good at anything right now

We’re poorly coached offensively, but more importantly we’re not that talented. Very weak down low, no good ball handlers, poor shooters. I don’t think we won more than 6 big ten games.

Pikiell has lost a lot of credibilty for his hubris in hyping a very mediocre team.
Hes always hyped up every team hes had. Hes overly optimistic and exaggerates alot. Its just who he is

This isn’t a tourney team. Miss JY and Miles..


None of these guys got better. Still can’t shoot and now we can’t rebound. This isn’t a tourney team. Simple lack of talent tells me that .
Unless they gel and show dramatic improvement, it’s a last place battle with Pen St

Lost by 3 and took 27 less free throws than the other team. Idk how that’s badly coached really. Players can’t call their own fouls at this level
Rotations poor, too much Paul/Caleb on the floor at the same time (mostly Caleb), no one to turn to from the Mag/Reiber/Palmquist class, Agee an obvious miss, coming out slow in the first half, lazy defense & rebounding, and if you’re angry about the foul discrepancy, work the damn refs.

embarassing loss. hopefully can wake them up from this...

it did take DePaul hitting every crazy 3 in last 5 min of game to squeak this out...
