It was unwatchable offense .Its a recruiting problem because Rutgers lacks 3 point shooters as well as players that can create and make shots off the dribble.Once again lack of scoring from the bench.
spencer was supposed to be out three shooter but hasn’t in big boy basketball games yet
Can’t quite describe what we watched.
Paul never took a perimeter shot the entire game.
Cliff was a non factor at both ends.
Who’d a thunk

And Pike didnt bring in anyone from the portal but Spencer. This is a classic example of what I said would happen if last years bench players had to play major minutes.
Good point, but I still believe Cam can get it done, if they run an iso for him. They didn't all night. And as I stated in other posts, I DON'T want Caleb taking the last shot or FT with the game on the line. He chokes, like he always did when Geo and Ron were here.
No elite playmakers.
There. I said it.
Pike isn’t landing enough elite players we need to elevate the program

He played fine against OSU - but we could have really used him tonight. Missed a bunch of open 3s.
You are correct, dont say it too loud though, they will come for you. lol
I think when you describe a team as having no shooters and no players that can create you have defined a team with virtually NO OFFENSE. Welcome to Rutgers!
And I believe he still is. Pike has to run more iso's for him throughout the game. And I certainly trust Cam over Caleb in endgame situations.
Thought Paul needed to shoot more and pass a little bit less. Need to see northwestern Paul in a game like this.
Really feels like they thought they could just show up and win that game. Their offense looked completely lost the entire second half
yep. that’s what it looked like to me. we weren’t focused at all. we had a few chances to break it open but turnovers and bad shots from our older players did us in. very disappointing from an older team
He had plenty of open looks tonight just like the Temple game, he didnt hit them.
I dont think you will ever see NW Paul again. The Paul you are seeing is the same Paul he has always been, which is why we needed to get a legit PG from the portal.
This. Just a sloppy, inconsistent performance. Thought we were gonna go on a real run in the 2nd but reverted back to the form of the first ten minutes.
And next year, without Cliff and Caleb and Paul, will be worse. Griffith by himself will not be enough.
I’ve seen nothing that tells me that Cliff won’t be back next year so far
Paul should be back and Cliff isn’t NBA material
You will see NW Paul occasionally when we play slow non-athletic teams like NW. He had trouble even handling the ball against Seton Hall.
Yes, let's keep track of what you said would happen.
Congrats...you were right this time.
Now do Indiana
And no one offered him help. He needed to make a pass and get it back and his teammates just ran down the court.
This was the last connected I have ever seen this team

Yes, worst prepared for a team that I can remember. OSU hangover, two days, whatever…all excuses. That’s what scouting is about and you prepare games in advance. We are not a mentally tough team. Tough teams react the exact opposite from Thursday’s debacle. No excuse for yesterday.

This is why we needed to make the tourney this year, to bring in a big 2024 class. I dont see it happening now.
Rutgers lacks shooters has been consistent concern in Pikiell tenure. Now it also lacks scorers. Need depth.
Play Simpson more and get him minutes because he has potential as a scorer. He can develop. Hyatt is a streaky shooter but may be an option.
