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

    Over the last forty (!!!) years here are how many 7+ conference win seasons our MBB HCs have had: Steve Pikiell (7x) Eddie Jordan (0x) Mike Rice (0x) Fred Hill (0x) Gary Waters (3x) Kevin Bannon (1x) Bob Wenzel (4x) In the past two generations (!!!!) of Rutgers basketball Steve Pikiell has won...

    Pikell Coaching

    Harper and Ace are wildly effective getting to the rim. The last three games the game plan against has clearly been getting more hands and bodies in the lane to slow them both down. Worked v. Harper in the 1H today. I don't think we should be dragging more bodies in to the paint. (IMO) All PJ...

    Pikell Coaching

    Harper is shooting 51% from the floor. Bailey is shooting 46% from the floor. Are we running enough offense for our two best players to be shooting 48.9% combined from the floor (they are 136-280 combined). The rest of the team is shooting 33% from the floor. Not from 3, 33% from the floor. The...

    Pikell Coaching

    We score 80 points a game and have played a pretty tough schedule relatively speaking. Offense is not this teams problem thus far.

    Pikell Coaching

    Pike switching to full court pressure in the second half won the game. That and Dylan getting hot. Outscored SHU by 9 in 2nd half. 13-28 from the line and 11 first half turnovers are pretty tough stats to put up and win a game.

    The Truth about this team

    Nationals fan. Very much helped win us a World Series title. This is blasphemy.

    The Truth about this team

    Pike tried to get four or five Centers but all were out of the $$$$ range. The choice doesn't appear to have been Cliff or Ogbole, Bradshaw or Ogbole, Onyesso or Ogbole, Supreme Cook or Ogbole, etc. Those guys, according to reports, went for over $500k each. It appears the choice was Ace and...

    The Truth about this team

    I disagree but I would phrase it a bit differently. Cliff was an adequate on ball defender in the post and a plus, plus off ball defensive player. Cliff was as All- B1G defensive player (as both a Junior and Senior) because he changed a remarkable amount of shots at the rim due to his...

    Phil Longo is Available

    The half drank bottle of Pepto behind him makes it.

    Watching Alabama Purdue

    I understand the sentiment and probably agree, but Dylan is shooting .575 FG% because he is getting to the rim at will. If Cliff is in the game those shots at the rim are much more contested. Versus Monmouth and Wagner who cares. Versus Purdue and UCLA (later) who knows the impact of much more...

    Watching Alabama Purdue

    Will never understand the Cliff hate. 1200+ points, 900+ rebounds, 220+ blocks and an anchor player on arguably Rutgers MBB best 5 year stretch ever. His junior year was terrific and thru 23 games was one of Pike’s best teams. Was a deserved 2nd team All-B1G that year. We don’t have many of...
