Basketball Rutgers Basketball falls late in defensive battle at Iowa
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Francis can shoot it but he's really selfish. Pike is so bad that he almost has to be.
I am 56 and I could swear that I can match Badalau’s lateral quickness. The guy plays with two concrete blocks around his ankles, seen better athleticism at the local Y.
How can you have so many turnovers vs. a team that isn't even applying pressure?
A younger more defensive minded version of Fran
still run crisp sets and get lots of looks from the outside but they play a little more deliberate and better defensively than the old Iowa
Mark 0-15 from 3. lol we love recruiting guards that can’t shoot
If we can score 58 in the second half, we're right back in this
Edit: one minute left in the half this team turns into the dumbest roster on the planet. Zero strategy, totally unfocused. Almost always a bad shot or turnover and the other team gets the last shot. Just dumb as a horses ***.

8 FGs and 12 TOs. Not a winning formula.
Iowa has so much length on the perimeter that it’s making it impossible for us to pass in the lane or to get open looks. They’re also not biting on pump fakes in the lane.
Bottom line — we need to run a few sets and launch from deep when we have an open look. Stop trying to score amongst the trees.

Love reading these threads. Doom and Gloom 24/7.
You would think we were losing by 30 points at halftime.

Rotations still make little sense. play your best playing 5. Davis Francis Ogbole Buchanan and that last spot is open right now
Pike's 2-for-1 approach is going to give me an aneurysm. Sideline inbound with 48.2, and we don't even enter the 3-point arc until 32 seconds. He's such an annoying martyr against considering any kind of analytics.
Dylan Grant still sick? Statless. He’s must have some disease
That’s my point
efficient on offensive, great shooting team … but also fundamentally sound defensively
Iowa will be better equipped in march than any of Fran’s teams were
We’re “only” down 7 but the game flow was very poor to end the half and Iowa didn’t play particularly well
We’re also getting literally nothing from anyone not named Francis
That would be unwise he hasn’t put together anywhere close to enough good tape to phone it in for a transfer NIL bag anywhere of relevance
They are only down 7 with a lousy 24 pts at half cause Iowa was sleep walking till about 4 min left
Harper was sick last year and it took him a little time to fully recover, I think Grant is still getting back to it. Pike even mentioned he lost some weight while sick.
He scored 9 quick points so Pike pulled him out and he lost his mojo
Why does Pike play 11 players in the first half alone? This isn’t elementary school rec where all the kids play.
