    **** all the people who think Pike can't coach

    I was replying to your comments that I thought questioned the strength of the St Bonaventure and Princeton programs . I was not discussing their relative strengths to when TY coached Rutgers--it never factored in my thoughts. Take a breath.

    Francis

    The UCLA Coach Cronin said when interviewed before the game that if you deny Francis the ball he can't score. They succeeded.

    **** all the people who think Pike can't coach

    St Bonaventure had Bob Lanier , one of the best big men ever to play in college or NBA. And Princeton-- ever hear of Bill Bradley ( Senator Bill Bradley ) , one of the finest college players ever? [I still recall his battles with Cazzie Russel] . Or how about Princeton's Brian Taylor, one of the...

    **** all the people who think Pike can't coach

    I respect and admire Pike as much s anyone on these boards. What he did to elevate the program from the depths of despair should be praised for years. But asa long suffering Rutgers alum and fan, I want more. I want our teams and our coaches to be judged against the best . Nebraska sucked just a...

    **** all the people who think Pike can't coach

    Well said... Rutgers successfully attacked the zone with Francis at the top of the key and Ogbole made some nice blocks. But let's get real --Minnesota was seeded 11 for a reason--not in the top 10. UCLA is another story. I want a Rutgers team that's in the discussion for the Big Ten...

    I've never

    I've been following Rutgers basketball since Tom Young was leading the team and I don't recall a poorer front court than what Rutgers has now. None of them would start , let alone be recruited , by any of the top 10 Big programs. Other than Francis , Lino Mark has improved more over this season...

    Lino Mark

    Agreed --we desperately need a center and two forwards. The group of guards we have now are serviceable but our bigs all have to go. I've never seen a Rutgers team with a more awful group of front court players.

    Football Rutgers tabs Minnesota's Dennis Dottin-Carter as Defensive Line Coach

    Dottin-Carter's past success makes him a worthy hire. Why then did PJ Fleck let him go?

    Head-scratching stats from RU at USC

    I agree. It's a credit to the players that they played hard throughout and never gave up but the real problem is a starting five with no real point guard and no offensive players capable of keeping the game close.

    RAPID REACTION - Indiana

    I couldn't agree more. With the exception of Francis and maybe Kaden Powers, I'd dump the entire roster. I can't recall any Rutgers team having " big men" at the center and forward positions possessing less talent. They can't shoot , score , rebound or defend. I heard former Auburn coach Bruce...
