    I think Hoiberg is a better coach than Pike. I also don’t think he’s 50x better than him and if not for NIL we probably are having a very different discussion about Pike as a coach. Of course, that’s the job now and Pike has been poor in the NIL era. But I truly do hope with a competitive budget...

    But does it not matter? If we were an incredibly bad high major team that only got 9 wins this season you’d absolutely make a massive deal about it, and rightly so. I think most aren’t crowning Pikes season this year as an achievement but also I think it’s bad faith to also not consider things...

    2027 NCAA for RU?

    We def aren’t the level of these teams. I also don’t think the final version of our team was that terrible, they clearly figured out a bunch of ther issues. We need good transfers. I don’t think we require super stars though, and I believe Pike can get a group of 7-8 B1G quality players to a...

    2027 NCAA for RU?

    Goal isn’t to be a 4-5 seed. It should be to match the level of play of the SMUs, South Floridas, NC States of the world. And no offense but this may be the only time you’re watching any of these guys. If someone only saw the last few Rutgers games they probably would have a much greater opinion...

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball to participate in 2026 College Basketball Crown

    Or maybe we go in, play well, guys feel more confident about the group around them, incentivizing each other to stay, transfers see us and see the potential and all of a sudden have a lot more momentum once the portal opens. I doubt a run in the tournament would do anything other than help...

    We are deluding ourselves

    I agree with that, I also think it’s unfair to criticize us for not matching the level of play in the high major conference tournament finals. Hopefully, we become a respectable, ncaa tournament level team next year. Otherwise, totally fine to see Pike go even if I have appreciated his time here

    We are deluding ourselves

    What do you want us to do then? You really think we wouldn’t be able to compete with the Ohio States of the world with 3 more starting level players? The top of the NCAA is more separated from the pack than ever. It’d take a miracle from any coach to be able to breakthrough with our budget. It’s...

    Keepers for next year

    So you want us to consolidate our resources on the top 9 guys yet also complain about the four guys at the back of our roster being super low cost-low level players. Makes zero sense. We didn’t spend much on those players aside from Fall. The big mistakes are whatever we spent on Fall and Zrno...

    BACATOLOGY 3/9 NCAA TOURNEY OUTLOOK

    I still feel if a team wasn’t in the tourney pre conference tournament time, they’re not making it, I feel we’ve seen a few examples

    Keepers for next year

    yeah but the whole point was Lathan doesn’t fit our style of play. We misfired. We took a swing on a big that if it worked would’ve brought us what we were looking for. It was a big miss. There are teams out there that made multiple million dollar mistakes and are still in the tournament. I...

    Francis

    I mean it’s probably a top 5 offensive season from a player in the Pike era. People acting like we should just treat him as a 6th man off the bench are disrespecting him and massively overrating the types of players we can get in the portal. Francis is as a massive hit for us.

    In a nutshell

    Pike certainly deserves to be fired. He also can’t really be until at least next year cause of his contract. I think he’s also proven he’s not the antichrist who has zero clue how basketball works. Hopefully, with a competitive budget he can inject some life back into the program and get back to...

    Players asked about next season

    We’re comparing Caleb McConnell, a guy where 95% of their impact came from their superstar defense, to a guy who’s got extreme question marks on that end? I’ll give Powers this, he’s got maybe the best offensive process of the roster. In fact, I feel a lot of his turnovers come from him making...
