Basketball GAME THREAD: RHoops versus Maryland

[nutfromSEC117]

Biggest question of the night ??

should Mets go super balls to the wall and give Kershaw a 2 year deal ???

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

It’s tough to remember a game that I enjoyed watching less than this one.

No one can shoot. No one has a killer instinct like most other teams have. Mentally and physically soft team. If Pike is a good coach and this is his best team ever than figure out a way to win these effing winnable games

@richthedentist

how about enough of your ******** on here? We get you don’t like Pike.
How about you go find another team to root for already!
Keep it up and you will need to find a dentist yourself

He's right though

Problem is Pike is a B- coach and this is not his best team.

 

[Caliknight]

We held them to 64 game points. You can easily win games at that level.

We can’t f’ing shoot and our lack of ball movement and running proper offense exacerbates that.

 

[The RUT]

That was a horrific performance. Think I’m gonna check out for a while. Team is not fun to watch.

This, and it’s not the final results.

I could watch our 2017-2018 team all damn day and the best thing they did was win 2 games in the BTT

Lack of ball movement I would agree with!

that along with our forced shots that are not clean looks. geo forced so many In The second half that were all off balance and not open. Caleb should not be shooting until we have moved the ball around enough for a good enough(or last) look.

 

[rtabachk]

Looking ahead....this team will probably end with 14 or 15 wins max.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

And no PG that can penetrate break down the D and dish for layups dunks and open shots. Everything looks so difficult on offense

Many were screaming for Pike to bring in a portal PG but mods kept assuring us McConnell and Mulcahy along with Geo were more than capable. Ugh

 

[shields]

didn't think we would sweep them, they have talent. But that 10 or 12 minute stretch in first half was bad.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Students cleared out real fast lol

They have to stop their eyes from bleeding

 

[DHajekRC84]

We have no shooters.

Oh, we have plenty of "shooters" lol.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Were back to the old days of playing for pride. I'll still watch for the evening's entertainment but no longer gonna stress about it. If we get to 8 conference wins I'll take it.

Yeah, I always expected a season split, coming from the other side...

Open the wallet Uncle Steve!

 

[BOGDANOVICH]

Pike is the best coach. This is his best team.

It is the best of all possible worlds.

Why can't everyone see this?

By the second half Caleb should have realized he couldn’t make anything and use every bit of energy on D.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Someone has to chuck up a three at the end of the shot clock after we’ve passed the ball around the perimeter with no purpose for 28 seconds.

Poor clock management and no offensive system to attack a opponents defense have become norms leading to unwatchable basketball.

Anyone else worried about the outcome at Nebraska this weekend?

 

[Rutgers25]

Anyone else worried about the outcome at Nebraska this weekend?

we’ll be underdogs, no doubt about that

He does not like Pike, Kiss, Reiber,]
Palmquest and Mulcahy. He just goes on and on and on. If He can't shut up he should be banned.

Time to switch to the football board for the snow forecast.

 

[RUTrack94]

Disappointed to lose at home? Absolutely. In a few years an 8 point loss doesn’t look bad. Just don’t want to see those Illinois type loses (30+ points). Early on it looked like one of those embarrassing losses.

One interesting observation… UMD is 3-0 this season vs opponents they play a second time after losing the first (NW/Illinois/RU).

Splitting UMD is what I expect in a good year. The losses that obviously irk us are Lafayette/DePaul/UMASS/Minn.

Barring a miracle B1G tourney, still hopeful for an NIT birth.
