    BB Recruiting Rutgers Basketball lands CCSU transfer forward Darin Smith Jr.

    Of course he'll pass. He was a freshman and he'll learn. He's a dynamic player with a developing outside shot, great capacity to break down a defense, and a good defender.

    I assume you mean Davis, but why can't Mark play PG? He has more ability and potential than Davis, imo, at the same stage in their careers. We already have Tariq and Powers as the SGs.

    I've never

    Excellent post. You're one of the few voices of reason on this board. I assume you've played or coached some ball before. The improvement of Zrno and Buchanan, the development of Powers, Mark, and the use of Tariq and JMike are a hugh credit to Pike. Insofar as offense, the first half of the PSU...

    If Maryland can beat them on the road, so can RU. Coach Pike continues his masterful job of coaching them up. RU 83 - 71.

    Tariq since the Penn game

    Honorable mention B10. Too many good guards to be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team.

    We have a team!

    Sorry, I'm not going to waste my time creating reasons for getting rid of Pike some time in the future. Who cares. I'm just trying to appreciate and enjoy the rest of the season.

    We have a team!

    We have 6 home games left and 6 road games. At home, we have a shot at beating PSU, Maryland, Washington, and maybe Indy. On the road, we could win at PSU, Maryland, maybe Minny, and maybe split with USC and UCLA. That's 8 possible wins against the bottom 2/3. Even if we only win 4 of these...

    We have a team!

    A couple of points in response. We were not favored against Northwestern, and probably not Oregon. The team is playing much better from Ohio State on. We don't have the horses to match-up with Illinois, MSU, and the other top teams, but we now seem to be able to compete with the middle teams on...

    We have a team!

    It's very easy to blame Pike for just about anything. I'm sure you guys know a lot more than him about basketball and especially about his team, lol. Pike shouldn't go anywhere. Now, as far as the team. I had this team getting no wins at all in the league after the Ohio State game, so I am...

    9-8 overall (2-4 big ten). Same record as last years squad

    I'll eat some crow. After the Ohio State game, I thought RU wouldn't win another game. Nice to see how the team is developing. It's still a matter of the Jimmy and Joes insofar as which teams we're playing. The top of the league is out of reach right now, but RU can be competitive with the rest...

    Lineup going forward

    I'm not so sure we all know how to attack a zone. Tell us how you would do it. Make sure to specify what type of zone since there are more than one. Thanks.
