We're really not in the same league here unfortunately; the outcome wasn't ever in doubt. It's only this close because ucla is having a subpar shooting night.
Most of the guys we want to keep are bench players on tournament teams
mark Zrno Buchanan all should be 6-7-8-9 off bench on a good team
that’s the reality don’t mean they aren’t worth keeping you just see the talent disparity every single time we’ve played a top 8-9 team in the league

Slow death. Cannot fault Rutgers effort. Talent differential large. UCLA shot poorly but gained some seperation and really controlled the last 15 minutes
Hummel.saying lotta guys coming back but 80% suck
Agree but disagree on Mark. He definitely could start here and will start on a pac12 or west coast school next year
Need him back. If he can improve from deep he’s gonna be an animal with his ability to get to the hoop.
I agree to some level, but also I think it’s clear retention is important for us to really work well. Buchanan goes from making a million defensive mistakes to start the year to killing it once he learns his role. We definitely need more talent, but I also think we shouldn’t expect more than 3 at most starter level players. Honestly, I’d guess we really only bring in two guys to be starters next year.
We need more than a few pieces, I am think maybe 6-8 new pieces. We need a big upgrade, let’s see if Keli really did raise more money, let’s see what this new GM Sullivan can do and then what Pike can do with the roster they give him. A big prove it type of season next year.
The game was lost in the first 4 minutes of the second half when we kept coughing up the ball and UCLA went on that 14-2 run. It’s basically been even since that point.
Apparently, his handlers have already made the decision to have him leave. Why an 18 to 19 yr. old needs handlers, is beyond me. Handlers seems to be code word for leaches.
I bet you whatever the consensus from the board has discussed ad nauseum there will be a ton of surprises in the off season that throws us all for a loop
No way we are acquiring 6-8 big time players. I’m gonna guess we get 4 newcomers we expect to actually make an impact next year.
UCLA is solid but not great and we’re not in their league. There was growth this year but we’re still miles away from being relevant.
Yeah, I think that was closer to 2 months ago that that came out - Can imagine he was frustrated getting limited minutes on a very bad team. Hopefully the change over the last month or so - both in our play and his minutes has changed that. He’s electric.
I agree but if it’s here we have a very small backcourt again
Unfortunately the growth we have seen will be looking for bigger bags
He makes a lot of mistakes – – especially in the open floor. It seems that his weakest time is coming off a turnover and giving it right back with another turnover or a bad shot. But those things can be corrected in the off-season.
Well im a fan but if he is gassed after 1 BETourny game then that's a whole different discussion about being B1G enough for the B1G.
There was nothing wrong with the plan on offense – – they just missed too many makeable shots — shots that they have been making over the past couple of weeks.
UCLA also slowed it way down after that and stopped shooting 3s so wasnt a fair fight
You really believe we are gonna revamp the whole roster? I don’t think that is necessary. But we definitely need at least two guys that will come in and be no doubt B1G starter level. Get that much and our floor rises dramatically imo. But hoping we will land a million pieces just isn’t realistic and would be spreading resources way too thin.
