Putrid start on both offense and defense. Outhustled out prepared so far.. plenty of time to turn it around, I can see Pike is pretty animated in the sideline more then I think I’ve ever seen before
Putrid start. -Sounds like pretty much any game this year

This team seems to have regressed. Not appearing coached well. Is it coaching or talent? This is painful and disappointing.

They're running circles around this team right now. We're falling all over ourselves.

He places an undue amount of thought on defense.

It's ok to be defensive oriented by he does it at the expense of offense.

Last game was a perfect example. No way we should have lost that game.
B of you haven’t learned by now, Offense doesn’t matter. Just Defense and Rebounding. That’s what all the Pike apologists constantly say when defending him.

We cant make a layup and these guys are knocking 3's from 4ft behind arc with a guy that is not a scorer

Us not having a quick guard with a good handle to set up teammates with penetration is so glaring as to be tragic. We are so slow and plodding and the opposition forces us to shoot from the perimeter where we are so inaccurate.
Major hole in the roster.

This team makes the tourney with JY

Zero offensive identity. I blame the staff. Either the aren't teaching it or the players aren't getting it. Both are their fault.

This is completely on us. Our offense has terrible spacing and defense is insanely bad.

Fellas....doesn't matter what our defense is doing....no one can sink a bucket...put literally anyone out there that can score. We don't run an offense or offensive sets anyway so it doesn't matter what lineup is out there. Need buckets.

The whole strategy was bad when Pije pulled Cliff right away and then put Jalen in

Plus once again having Caleb shoot everything while Ron did Diddly

Did i saying Pikes prep and coaching brutal

For those that have issues with being critical during games — is it time yet or do we have to wait until we’re down 30?

Our offense is pretty simple:

1.) Have ball on the perimeter
2.) Have guard dribble straight into defender, then retreat back to perimeter
3.) Guard passes to other guard, repeat above
4.) Throw up a hopeful, low percentage shot when shot clock about to expire
5.) Don’t compete for rebound
6.) Hustle back on D
