Congrats to Pirates

[ScarletDave]

Seton Hall is the better team this year, we tried to make a bunch of comebacks but Seton Hall players didn’t miss in critical points. Made a ton of jump shots, did enough to win. Basically pulled away in one 3 min stretch and that was the game. Most years this game is down to the wire, last game we blew you out at the RAC, this time you handled us at the Rock. It will be very hard for the away team to win this game going forward as both teams have raised the bar of their home atmosphere as of late.

 

[Danprusa_4]

Yes they were the much better team. And if Pike doesn’t recruit we’ll this off season they will be for the next 3-4 years till the rivarly dies down again

He's already a year behind with what he's bringing in with this class.

 

[sct1111]

Their player development is top notch and have done an excellent job with transfers. Willard is a great coach. Top 10 team.

 

[anon_xekqhstck0ygt]

why ??? F the hall why congratulations to them? Weird

 

[Rutgers25]

They are talented. Think they have a chance at an elite 8 run, maybe better with the right matchups and some luck. Wish Pike recruited like Willard!

 

[IL Lusciato]

The hall is the most yuppie, loud mouth, can't dance, bunch of jack asses, I've ever dealt with. Idk who is worse quite frankly.

F them. They will always be our little catholic school sister.

This was their super bowl. Hope they get their asses kicked later in the year.

Yes I know that. Which is why he must step up huge or were Fckved

Yeah their fans are but the team is good.

 

[RC1978]

My only criticism of Pike is this. He is too loyal to his players and does not recruit over them IMO. Willard goes out and gets the best players available to make them better. I might be totally off base but it just seems that way.

And I hope they lose.

Now I think you’re on to something here

Yea not sure. They have lots of jump shooters, that’s there game… but live and die by it. When the ball stops falling it’s a tough deal. They quelled us ultimately but a “poor” RU team by recent standards cut a 16-point lead to 6 multiple times. They haven’t made it past the 1st round of the NCAAs for a long while, I’d be surprised if they do it this time around ie Sweet 16. But they certainly have to potential to

Yetna, Richmond, Aiken = 44 points

 

[willisneverrana43]

Their player development is top notch . . .

Not personal. But the mantra is this: it’s the recruiting, stupid.

Have you checked the series record? Give credit where credit is due.

 

[IL Lusciato]

Is that like your little brother beating you at mortal combat once, and you bully him in every other real life medium imaginable? Ok they beat us a few more times in mens basketball. They still know they are the little sister.

 

[lloyde dobler]

Yuppie? Seton Hall?

 

[PiscatawayMike]

SHU played a full 40 minutes. Those awful few minutes in the first half doomed us.

 

[shields]

They are good. Like the way Cliff played. he and Mag need to continue to get better.

 

[bac2therac]

Better team won, Congrats to Seton Hall

 

[AshCatchEm]

Lol they ducked us for our home game last year and play us the year we lose talent and lost to Lafayette.

**** Seton hall

 

[wngarbarini]

They beat us even without their best big man too! We can’t go 5 minutes in first half tied 23-23 to down 10 at half.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Nah. F*ck ‘em. That said, they are the much better team. Better athletes, shooters, coaching, recruiting etc.

 

[RU82]

All credit to SHU. They were the better team tonight. I don’t think either team played their best basketball but the energy level was good on both sides and they made more plays than we did.

We need to keep getting better. Cliff showed some results from his off season work on the offensive end.

I agree it's become loyalty to a fault.

 

[IL Lusciato]

Yuppie? Seton Hall?

Definitely. At the law achool, they teach em what socks and tie combos to wear to get firm jobs. Some other schools teach about the courtroom.

I had to comment… why the bitterness.. it was our year. Geo is obviously not at full speed and the new players just need more time…. Harper is a pro and I will be glad to see you guys make another run like last year… no need to call us name and, I remind you, that this little sister school educated your AD and a few Governors over the last 100+ years… Cheers…

Sorry don’t mind him he loves starting thread riots mostly against you guys for no reason haha. He’s just upset about the loss.

As long as you admit it lol.

But seriously dude the fans at the game were real jackasses. I'm a Newark resident who was beyond polite bc I have no issue with a fan base that supports the area downtown, and we are all from Jersey. But they talked so much nonsense the whole game it was really on a different level. Kept my mouth shut because I'm an adult, but it was really outside the realm of basic sports banter.

I bring up the yuppie thing bc im sitting here seeing those types opening their mouths the most and being the most juvenile and vulgar. Yet there are huge Rutgers logos in the Newark skyline. Talk your sh*t but jeez the trash talk was a different level and it reminded me of a typical catholic H.S. boy type crowd...

Cheers to you if you're level headed and congrats on the win.

 

[Pirate143]

pike will figure out the rotation …. Geo will get his legs back and the team will be top 6-8 in the league,,,, beating #1 earases some early season Ls…. And you should know some of us Pirates have been RU football season ticket holders for decades. Good luck the rest of the way…

 

[STLPirate12]

I thought you guys played well considering Harper never got going. When he has a good game AND you get the other contributions you did tonight, you'll be tough to beat. Good luck the rest of the way and see you next year (hopefully, I'd honestly rather not see you again this year).

Sorry to hear that… no need for foul language or poor behavior towards others especially the players… the kids leave all on the floor and the effort is to be cheered … I’m sure the school will crack down on that BS …no room for that whatsoever… enjoy your holiday season…

You make me mad because I'm mad and I can't be mad at you haha.

I don't care if the kids talk like that. Our kids do the same. This was guys my age in their 30s.

But congrats and have a happy and joyful Holiday season as well.

We've all been treated just as poorly at the RAC, it goes both ways.

Edit - not saying that makes it right, but unfortunately it's part of the emotions of this rivalry and we just expect it in the other team's building.

Well you won't catch me doing it. Esp to visitors in the damn bathroom. And they didn't heckle me specifically...more like baiting. But it was really dumb.

Congrats on the win ya blue SOB

You don't think fans at the rac are vulgar ********?

Seriously hold the L. Cope my dude

You mean when Agee was in

 

[knight82]

He's already a year behind with what he's bringing in with this class.

Which is why he needs to strike gold in the transfer portal this off season and not strike out like he did this past off season

 

[IL Lusciato]

Seriously hold the L

Honestly, no. Not this level of Cornball with a huge mouth in random snack lines and bathroom sessions. If I took any of these guys two blocks from the rock they would be dead silent. Thats the issue I've got. They didn't say anything at the bar either. Get them in their ambiance and they think all bets are off. I had more respect for your alum before I attended this game.
