    Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Temple

    Learning how to win is a process. Without Geo and RHJ, someone needs to step up this year in big moments. Unfortunately, the 2 obvious candidates (Caleb and Paul) aren't on the floor tonight. Hopefully, the boys grow up (specifically Simpson or Cam) and can grow up in front of our eyes in...

    Zach Brazilier on Hammond....

    The 2 recruiting pitches that work in today's game are this is how much $$ we can give you (in NIL) and this is how many people we have turned pro. If RU can get a few kids to the league and see a pathway, that is when recruiting will change. Until then, enjoy the development of underrecruited...

    Basketball RHJ declares for the 2022 NBA Draft

    He'll have his degree and a chance to play professionally next season over coming back to a rebuilding team. With many of his friends graduating and leaving (outside of the basketball team), it's a tough sell for any kid to come back after the career he's had on the court, the draft feedback he...

    For those worried that Cliff wont come back

    I was pretty sure he'd be back but thought for sure he'd take advantage of the feedback he'd get from the process of declaring as RHJ and Geo did last season. Either way, it'll be nice to have a returning big man who should be much improved come November.

    Jalen Miller FGM

    His HS highlight tape was him taking the ball to the basket every time. In the Big Ten, that can't work and he'll have to adjust. He played his role but there's a reason that Pike wanted him to redshirt. Luckily, he has all offseason to work on his game and develop a mid-range game where...

    Lunardi somehow drops us a spot….

    Sure. But if you're the 5 you 100% get the double-digit seed and the double-digit seed also has an extra 40 minutes on their legs if you are the 4 and they upset the 5.

    Lunardi somehow drops us a spot….

    Top 4 is a big deal because the 4/5 game won't be a bad loss. If you win that game, there's no doubt that you're in. If you're the 5 and lose to the 12/13 seed, we'll see you at Jersey Mike's for NIT.

    Interesting: No Jones on the bench today.

    Does this season make Pike rethink his OOC scheduling?

    Next year I don't think he changes, but I could see in two years with more returners he enters a bigger tournament at the beginning of the season. With so many question marks next year, I wouldn't be surprised to even see a local D2 team come to the RAC to make sure everyone gets minutes and...

    Basketball PREVIEW/LIVE THREAD: Rutgers Basketball versus Indiana

    Mental lapses going to cost this team the game and a chance at dancing

    Basketball LIVE THREAD/PREVIEW: Rutgers Hoops versus Michigan

    this one's on the kids. Had decent looks and went ice cold.

    Rutgers vs Purdue / Game Thread

    Purdue played well and showed they're a legit #1 seed and national contender. Going into Mackey was always going to be tough. Hopefully we can take advantage of Michigan on Wed

    Caleb on fence about returning?

    None taken. Not saying he indicated anything but you have to be ready for the possibility which it seems RU is. You make a good point about the academic/family side with Myles/Caleb but I still think obtaining that degree makes moving on (transfer or overseas) even more enticing. Obviously, I...

    Caleb on fence about returning?

    I think this is similar to a Myles situation. We all would love him back but my gut feeling says he puts his name in the portal to see what is out there. Being a Florida kid, a school like UF, FSU, or Miami could be enticing and it makes sense that he'd like a change of scenery with his...

    Carino on Derek Simpson

    I think Simpson will be our best player as a So. He has a ton of potential on tape and playing against stronger competition all summer and adding muscle will only help. Look at a picture of many of the RU Seniors as freshmen and many have the same build as Simpson. He's smooth on the ball, has...
