Basketball Rutgers vs Northwestern / Game Thread

[rucoe89]

Watching Kansas vs Iowa State… refreshing.

Players that can shoot a basketball? That must be a nice luxury.

I'll say it again. Team has regressed due to poor coaching, we miss the 3 guys people said we wouldn't, no pure shooters on this team, recruiting has been bad. All falls on the coach. This team isn't even in line for an NIT bid with the upcoming schedule and the way we're playing. I think Pike has peaked. Props to him for getting us this far but the writing is on the wall. No players are beating down the door to come here. He messed up not building on our last 2 seasons. Damn shame.

Recruiting is bad and we have nothing coming in to help. Transfer portal or bust with this team.

 

[kcg88]

How many wide open layups/4 footers can we allow?

 

[RU848789]

Caleb pulled quickly - has not been playing well

 

[FRA10Thunderbolt]

There is no excuse for falling behind over 20 by any team. they must have smoked a big fatty before the game.

 

[Scangg]

Northwestern plays good bball. I'm jealous

 

[RW90]

Ah hell, lose big or go home.

 

[KnightLife1994]

FEEBLE KNIGHTS

 

[rucoe89]

Biggest problem to me is the lack of any hope for next season. Going to be a historically bad year as I have no hope Pike will get any difference makers in the portal

This is why Pikiell made a huge mistake opening marketing this team as his 'best team ever". Even if you believe that, temper it, particularly when you have a low ranked recruiting class that follows.

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

No you had it right the first time, INEFFICIENCY

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Reminding me of the game in Champaign... lost in Chicago, too. We do not play well in Illinois.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Interesting line up changes made by Coach

Yes. Clearly changes were made.

 

[RU848789]

Oskar completely lost on D

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Wide f**kin open!

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Recruiting is bad and we have nothing coming in to help. Transfer portal or bust with this team.

He better hire someone who can convince players to come then.

 

[Caliknight]

wide open 3s to start the half. Just like the start of the game.

 

[MV9000]

Ah yes. The solution all along. Put turnstile Oscar in. How did we all not think of that

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

And now Cliff hurt

 

[Scangg]

Anyone but Jones lineup continues

 

[FIJI'83]

Nice of the 10 fans to clap Cliff as he walked off the court.

 

[koleszar]

Palmquist? Pike still hoping his experiment works and the airball 3 ensues.

 

[cm_13]

Why am I still watching this?

 

[AreYouNUTS]

It’s simply amazing how teams hit threes against us when they are even the slightest bit open.

 

[kcg88]

Get Oskar Palmquist out of my face forever.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Palm airball lol

 

[Caliknight]

Even our white guys can't shoot lol

 

[RU848789]

We might look even worse this half - unbelievable

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Anyone but Jones lineup continues

Palmquist…lol.

 

[rucoe89]

Magical Palmquist outside shooting can't even hit a rim!

 

[RutgersNo1]

Palmquist lol

 

[fatsam98]

Absolutely pitiful. So glad I made the trip out to Indy last year cuz it's just not happening again anytime soon.

 

[RW90]

All I ask is to show a pulse. Please.

 

[FIJI'83]

This team will most likely get a upset along the way but it really feels like going winless the rest of the season is realistic

 

[RU848789]

Ron and Geo 1-9 - nuff said

 

[rtabachk]

How has Jones not transferred yet? Like midgame.

 

[rucoe89]

We are down 24 to Northwestern. 24. 24 to what may arguably be one of the lowest teams in the B1G. What does that say about this team?

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Anyone but Jones lineup continues

I want an answer. Completely insane.

 

[FIJI'83]

Cut it to 19 wahoooooooo

 

[cm_13]

Great that he’s going to the line but why in the hell was he putting the ball behind is back there?

 

[Phil da Thrill]

Great halftime adjustments
