Basketball PREVIEW/LIVE THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Notre Dame

[Mr_Sinister]

All Mulcahy had to do was complete the inbound pass and the game is over.
That is all

 

[Jtung230]

out coached

 

[cyrock3]

No bench points was an underrated factor as well. We were going to be more tired than Notre Dame if there was a third OT.

 

[Super tRUper]

Hope this changes Pike to become a more relentless recruiter.

 

[greenknight]

We could not cover them at all why no Zone not one possession zone

 

[Rokodesh]

If our point guard can complete a pass that you learn in k-5 we win this game

 

[RW90]

Lost the game on a rebound.

 

[William J. Leggett]

Ron didn’t get enough looks IMO..

 

[Plum Street]

Blame paul as well..he had a **** game and instead of forcing the pass there he could have called a TO..you cant blame pike for everything.

Paul was terrible.

 

[RutgersMC]

Heartbreaking loss. We had our chances. But these guys played their hearts out too. These Seniors will be missed.

 

[RuBird]

The Pikiell apologists and Jerry Carino will be out in full force shortly. But congrats to Pikiell for the big contract extension that he fooled everyone into.

Pike got us to arguably 3 NCAA tournaments in a row and now all of a sudden because I believe in him I have to apologize? GTFOH

Cliff needs to spend the off season on hand strength and moving to the ball finishing dunks and playing D in the post

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

The 5 best players on this team next year will be Mulcahy, Cliff, Reiber, Mag, and Hyatt. Think about that.

Hyatt should look at Bryant

 

[AshCatchEm]

Congratulations on being an *******.

Ok? I wanted us to win like any of you. Our HC can't draw up an inbound play

 

[RUboston]

If we got one basket from our bench in regulation we’re playing Alabama. One.

 

[theRU]

Disappointing way for these guys to go out. Hope to see our team back in March when it counts

 

[miketd1]

Notre Dame had better cardiovascular conditioning and scouting and composure

Their bench players could put up points.

 

[HeywoodGiant]

They were all watching while the ND kid went after it. Same thing happened all game long.

They were all in the air

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

We didn’t deserve to win this game.

The plan on defense was to stop the 3. Instead they beat us inside and we had no answer.

 

[The RUT]

You need help

Nonsense. Call it what it is.

 

[RU05]

That was about as disappointing as you can get

Houston last year was worse.

 

[Mr_Sinister]

They were all watching while the ND kid went after it. Same thing happened all game long.

Ball watching all game.
Mulcahy might as well have been a spectator on every defensive rebound opportunity

 

[brookdale-soda]

I don't understand how we got beat off the dribble so often. Was it fatigue or defensive scheme?

 

[RW90]

Lost the game on a rebound.

And an effing inbound play, again.

 

[koleszar]

****ing Atkinson... the game of his life... he couldn't miss if he tried. Grad student from Yale. Damn.

They got Atkinson we got Hyatt and Agee. Explains a lot.

 

[mugrat86]

Thank goodness we extended pikiell

You are such a punk! Hope you are happy

 

[fluoxetine]

One more rebound and we win. If we could run a successful inbound play for the first time in fvcking forever we win. This is going to hurt for a while. Same **** different year

This is literally every close game either way

 

[RUJMM78]

Rutgers should have won the game prior to third OT but the defense was pathetic.Final score 89-87 Notre Dame.The failure of the Mulcahy in bounds pass was beyond belief because it has happened before.The coaching staff has to take the blame for that play.When Rutgers scores 87 points they must win that game .The defense was abysmal especially around the basket.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

****ing Atkinson... the game of his life... he couldn't miss if he tried. Grad student from Yale. Damn.

He ate cliff's lunch.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Houston last year was worse.

You’re right that team could have gone further so it was

 

[bethlehemfan]

Ok? I wanted us to win like any of you. Our HC can't draw up an inbound play

You’re a ******* retard. You think he can’t draw up an inbound you idiot.

 

[AshCatchEm]

I enjoyed watching cliff while he was here. Have my doubts he'll be here next year but we'll see. Lots of coaches gonna be offering him a bag after his play in this game

 

[The RUT]

Paul’s bad inbounds was the game

Pikes terrible in bounds play was the game*

 

[miketd1]

****ing Atkinson... the game of his life... he couldn't miss if he tried. Grad student from Yale. Damn.

Dude literally looked like Christian Laettner out there tonight.

 

[RW90]

I think we led in every stat except the final score.

Certainly not turnovers.

 

[motorb54]

Can I go teach Pike the simple stack plays I learned in fourth grade?
Pathetic. Last option for the pass in that stack would be a high toss to Cliff who doesn't move from his start position, just has to leap for the ball. No way they steal the inbounds. Probably puts Cliff on the line with a two point lead. And that is only if the other three, one of whom sets a pick, do not get open for the inbounds.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

If we got one basket from our bench in regulation we’re playing Alabama. One.

It was obvious that none of our bench players were able to play in this game

 

[anon1753890747]

refs had ZERO to do with that loss. ZERO

I would agree if they called first half like the second

 

[Jtung230]

Cant win in double overtime with no bench.

We have a bench but coach didn’t want to use it.

 

[Rokodesh]

All Mulcahy had to do was complete the inbound pass and the game is over.
That is all

You don't understand Ron Harper is 9 feet tall he should've caught that
