20 points at the 10 minute mark, only 8 more before halftime. Typical Rutgers offensive slump.

Didn't want to be leading at half anyway; and sure didn't want to be up by 20.

Zrno is not amazing or anything, but he is capable of hitting one or two threes in a half. No minutes? What did he already tell Pike he’s outta here? 11 minutes for Nwuli and Zrno gets a Zero?

We really get absolutely nothing from the frontcourt. Like zero. Ogbole with the first basket of the game. Nwuli made a lay up in transition. I think we otherwise have zero from every other wing/forward/center.

We're really not going to change the staff at all?
Just keep letting Knight run this "offense"?
In their defense, there’s a limit to what you can do when only your guards can put the ball through the net. It’s really hard when we have no weapons at all to post up for any semblance of an inside out game.

The front court is atrocious at everything.

In my view, it’s actually impossible to gauge how much better the guards might potentially be with some dishing options. We really have nothing.
Haha, stop. Yes, the front court is terrible. No, the guards aren't better than they appear because of it.

nice halftime insult. I hope the team hears about it and takes the game seriously. The announcers probably said that about Nebraska last year

Is he here? I couldn’t see if he was on the bench.

Start the game FG 9-14
Finished the half FG 1-16

Pikiell will need to have that talk with some of these players to find new homes all of them should not come back and move down a level. Serious chemistry on the court problems still. Too many players of the same position playing positions they shouldn't or can't play. We have too many combo/2Gs and Wing G/Fs not enough 1s, 4s, or 5s.

Lino and Tariq didn’t start the game out driving into traffic. You have to be able to throw the ball inside to someone at some point though. We’ve certainly been better in this game with Big O in the game than without him.

I agree – – what happened in the last 10 minutes of the first half is not on the coaches – – they were plenty of good shots in that 1 - 16 in the last 10 minutes. The game plan they came out with was very good, and that’s why they were able to get the lead.

Ogbole was +4 in the first half, best on the team.

Our forwards and centers only have 7 of our 21 rebounds (at the 4 and 5 spots). And a combined 4 points. Thats brutal.
