And two of Cliffs fouls were just stupid. He should not ever foul except deep in the lane when challenging a play at the basket.
Wolf looked lost out there. Reiber can't cover large framed bigs.
So Cliff has to stay on the court.

And on O giving Cliff the ball more than 8 feet from the basket is a very low percentage play.
He is not a good passer so when doubled it is often a turnover.

As an aside, how are we still spelling Pikiell wrong after 7 years? Spelling his name right in the repeated critical threads is literally the least you can do.

We run zero plays to get Cam open we have no clue what an off the ball or back screen is we have to do this
I said in another thread it’s almost like they are playing keep away from Cam. There don’t need to be dedicated sets but how about a screen? motion away? Something. It’s in the teams best interest to get cam the ball.

Wasn’t Pikes best game. Some lineups were questionable. During scoring drought , plays should have been drawn up for someone drive to basket and get fouled.
Thought at one point Pike kept Cliff on bench for 1-2 minutes too long - enough for Reiber and or Woolfolk to get their lunch handed to them.

19-0 run today … saw RU up 47-41 and thought … cool next thing you know I keep seeing RU stuck on 41 when I checked every few minutes … glad I saw lacrosse and skipped watching the BB game.

Finally, richthedentist has hit the nail on its head. Pike's offense is a 2 man game. There are no plays run to open up shooters who can't get themselves an open shot. As one recruit or current player said, ...." We can do anything we want on offense"...Cliff has not improved during the season. There has to be better coaching for the offense. None of the coaches seem to be able to accomplish that task.

Lose….coach always had a bad game
Win…coach always had a good game

Until someone criticizes Pike in a win or commends him in a loss these posts have little to no weight.
