It was a pretty relaxing half for them, like a trip to the spa for the 6 man team.Thing is Minnesota hardly broke a sweat that half by playing deliberate. Doubt if they are all that tired.

Beating a zone requires 2 seemingly basic premises:
1. Shooting ability
2. Minimal forethought on the next offensive movement as a team to manipulate the zone.
The defense has a plan - they aren't just following players around and reacting.
The offense in turn needs to operate as a single unit and dictate where they want the defense to go.
Both are seemingly low on the priority list for Pike as a program.

That is crazyI can't even count the # of basketball I've watched since I was a kid. has anyone EVER seen a whole half where a team doesn't get one foul??
They're not smart enough to figure that out. That's why we have to find the money. And the we are getting better b&llsh%t is getting tiresome. We are not. The schedule has gotten easier.Every made basket we should press. Rutgers is not going to beat them in a slow paced, walk the ball up the court, half court defensive game. That’s their style, especially with 6 guys. Try and speed it up, we’re going to lose by 15 at least keeping the game at their pace and style.
They're playing zone and we're not attacking it, and so they are not fouling. It's not the officiating.I can't even count the # of basketball I've watched since I was a kid. has anyone EVER seen a whole half where a team doesn't get one foul??
He was going to put Nwuli in with a minute to go in the halfI’m just glad Badalau got some run instead an energy guy like Nwulli.
Their offense is running circles around us.
He still doesn't know who they are after 5 months.If you’re not going to apply pressure, our best players should play the entire game
I’ve seen this a million times. A few things go your way and then your confidence soars because you feel like you can do no wrong and you can’t miss, and the shots keep falling.Well Minny ain't cooling off so far...56% from 3/60% overall. Unreal

Too late for it now, waited way too long. Should have been pressing and trapping from the opening Rutgers made basket.Now they pressure. Pathetic
This seems like a game that Dortch should be playing more but he’s only been in for three minutes.We are always trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Our base lineup is terrible against Minny. Manny, DG both get cooked on threes. Not using Zrno for his 3 point ability. Get some athleticism on the floor and speed them up! Too many rhythm threes for them.
That would be me.As one of our posters has repeatedly said, Pike is not particularly bright.
