    Recruiting, but it's not an overnight fix without HS kids

    Basketball shots diversified by location with the goal of getting the closest shots. Great passing leading to non 3 point shots. Some physical play and low post moves. Defense being played over the entire court. Screening away. Not moving screens.

    Recruiting, but it's not an overnight fix without HS kids

    No doubt it is opinion. What is a fact is for me my primary sport to watch i have stopped watching completely. I still watch baseball and have replaced basketball with hockey. i do miss talking hoops on this message board!

    Recruiting, but it's not an overnight fix without HS kids

    Ball movement and screening 30 feet from the basket. If I were commissioner for a day make the 3 point shot worth 2.5 OR no 3 pointers for the 1st 8 minutes of each quarter.

    Gurdacks hands, coordination, post moves

    It is 2026. This guy doesn't fit the current college game. RU defense was bad last year (based on stats). How is a non shot blocking 5 going to help that? His numbers say he is a slightly above offensive rebounder and slightly below average defensive rebounder.....this is with playing part...

    Recruiting, but it's not an overnight fix without HS kids

    1st game I watched this year was the 2nd half of ILL and UCONN. I dont miss the game one iota. The game is all about screening 20 feet from the basket and chucking 3s. A beautiful game has been turned ugly. I find it unwatchable.

    It's 2026. I disagree 100%. You don't win with freshmen. Every is on a 1 year contract. The only fix is $. It is over. We will NEVER be able to compete again. I genuinely feel bad for all of you guys.

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball to participate in 2026 College Basketball Crown

    So sometime between April 3rd and April 6th Pike and the coaching staff arrives home in NJ. If the portal open April 7th there isn't a lot of time to get ready for 1st day of free agency Maybe I am wrong, but the way Pike wants his program to look there is value in taking hours of time and...

    2/16: Just a taste of 2026 Bacatology

    snow....but i have looked every once in awhile. I think Pike has no interest in the way the game is today. Add to that he has no ammunition. me leaving has nothing to do with not winning. I will say Myles and Cliff was the backbone of our successful squads. No Myles no NCAAs. Most...

    2/16: Just a taste of 2026 Bacatology

    We have seen a gradual uptick every year (your explanation is reason). This year is a much bigger move up (guessing it is an effort thing).

    2/16: Just a taste of 2026 Bacatology

    I haven't watched a second of college basketball since the BYU-Alabama game in the NCAA tournament. Tell me if there are rule changes,......NCAA offensive efficiency was 1.067 PPP last year and is 1.095 PPP this year. It has been ticking up every year, but not an increase like this year. JUST...
