    OT: Worn out by Rutgers sports

    Good OP and post--I have had the same thoughts for the past few weeks. It appears none of our major or Olympic sports--none--are doing very well. Put another way, what sport(s) are we known now for? It seems when RU did very well in Director Cup was an abberation and potentially explained by...

    Keepers for next year

    Hines also entered the portal...I'm sure he will be well in to 7 figures, but maybe Pikell can right a prior wrong with him....

    Keepers for next year

    Tariq is good, but he is a small, ball dominant guard...depends on how we want to play next season. Will he be better with better players around him? I am not sure. Baye is top on my list to bring here.

    Wow!

    I watched to halftime and didn't feel good about second half. The team probably felt too good coming out of Chicago, not really appreciating they beat teams below them--which you should do--and a bad Minny team. This shows they can't hang with a near .500 team. I will be interested to see if...

    Keepers for next year

    It's clear, thus far, that Pikell has not shown at all he can effectively spend whatever the amount is on roster construction and fit to his style.

    Watching NCAA Tourney shows how much of a dinosaur Pike and staff are...

    ...esp on offense. Look at the offensive production and scoring. Yes, some teams continue to play legit D, but most games are not 60-56. ...teams are also not taking the air out of the basketball when holding a lead in the 2nd half... ...teams with centers (a number of from Europe) have...

    2027 NCAA for RU?

    Based on the past several years, Pike the talent evaluator and recruiter is my biggest concern...he has a system but can't find the players to run it...so what is more money going to do?

    We are deluding ourselves

    BTW, what a joke shoe has the gall to decline a NIT...who the f are they, they played a very bad Big East and should feel fortunate to play in NIT. did they think they were going dancing?

    We need a significant upgrade with at least 3-4 new starters if we want a chance.

    Basketball Francis, second-half defense powers Rutgers to Big Ten Tournament win

    Grant is the Justise Hairston of RU hoops...great against bad teams, invisible against major teams. Gets his during garbage time.

    Can we PLEASE press the hell out of Minny

    agree, we need to push the pace like RU did vs PSU in first half... RU always gives up uncontested 3s...have to limit them. this is our SB this season

    Basketball Rutgers AD Keli Zinn announces Steve Pikiell will return as head coach in 2026-27

    I'm glad and agree with Zinn to make Pikeill and staff feel uncomfortable. Maybe it leads to self-reflection and making necessary changes. There has to be some accountability. Most other B1G programs he'd been fired.

    Lino/Powers/Hrno

    More importantly, Pike and staff have to change their approach from a peanut butter spread to finding the 2-3 best players that fit what he wants and bringing them in, and then keeping the rest who can fit within the budget and style. Mark has improved, but he's a dime a dozen TBH. Can pike...
