RU vs Northwestern 2/17/25

[ScarletteK80]

8PM @RAC. The battle of the bottom of the conference. Who wins? Game on BTN.

McMiller not dressed

 

[hoquat63]

Bad start 5 turnovers in first. Three minutes 3 by Awa 2-10

 

[APKnight]

Wow. Just wow. Not in a good way.

 

[hoquat63]

As ugly a quarter I’ve ever seen. 12-25, 8 turnovers in first and5/17 shooting

 

[ScarletteK80]

25-12 NW end of 1st. Just pathetic. But, coach can chew that gum at warp speed, ugh.

 

[Local Shill]

There wouldn’t even be words for the level of embarrassing if both basketball teams miss the Big Ten tournament. It’s not at all out of the realm of possibility.

 

[hoquat63]

22-33 mid 2nd.
Shooting only 8/26, free throws 5/11.
NE has foul trouble, 3 with 2 fouls RU in bonus after 2+ minutes in quarter
Only other bright spot RU killing it on boards 32-10

 

[hoquat63]

Sorry fat fingers 22-10

 

[hoquat63]

28-37 halftime
RU playin much better, only 9 total turnoverss now.
Adams unfortunately picked up 3 fouls.
NW got away with flarentt hook driving past Chyna, then got fouled and got 2 free throw and a final layup to close half up 9 rather than 5

 

[ScarletteK80]

37-28 NW up at the half. Adams with her usual foul trouble, just got her 3rd at end of half. Just so infuriating to see how they play, or don't play against NW.

 

[DUForever]

Bad basketball played poorly. Our fans in attendance at the game should be given free food and drink for sitting through this embarrassment. Program is a mess.

 

[ScarletteK80]

The bigger problem is Don Juan hired this coach, and now there is no AD. What a cluster****

 

[ScarletteK80]

So, they are shooting 32% from the field, and are 7-13 FT's.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Destiny Adams is not real bright. Picks up foul #4 at the start of the 3rd. Done we are.

 

[ScarletteK80]

52-44 NW end of 3rd. Sidibe is the only one trying to keep the game within reach.

It’s practically every game. !

McMiller not dressed

Is she on bench?

 

[toby83]

Kick her off the team now

 

[toby83]

What in the world was that inbounds play tossed under the basket with two other girls standing wide open nearby. Obviously coach wanted that. She needs to be removed.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Clueless. Our bball teams are horrible. Both coaches need to go. Unwatchable play.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Is she on bench?

Yes she was on the bench.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Pathetic box.

One more opportunity for a win

 

[rucoe89]

We need an AD that’s into winning

 

[MADHAT1]

We need an AD that’s into winning

RU WBB needs a HC that can make the program a winner, not a bottom feeder .

More likely than not

 

[shields]

Adams has bad basketball IQ.

 

[APKnight]

Yes she was on the bench.

I think Smikle was on the bench last year too.

 

[dfr1966]

I think Smikle was on the bench last year too.

She was not. Smikle was not with the team.

 

[MangoCat]

Smikle was on the roster last year.

 

[dfr1966]

Yes

Smikle was on the roster last year.

She was but stopped attending the games.

 

[MADHAT1]

Yes

She was but stopped attending the games.

The last game Smikle played for RU was on Dec.30 2023 against Northwestern and only played 5 minutes
As for McMiller, a talent on the court of course ,but might not be a loss in the locker-room.
The program might not need her or Coquese next year , because of Kiyomi's attitude and the way Washington seems to make talented players want to leave.

 

[toby83]

Does the sucker that chipped in for her NIL get a refund?

Coquese 200% should be fired the second the season ends but that won’t happen as this is Rutgers and we don’t and will not have an athletic director till August at a minimum so nothing will be done I’m real worried we will be able to even field a team next year!!!!

Fielding a team won't be a problem!!
Fielding a competitive will be the problem

But the competitive part ,I'm sure is ,what you meant.
As for an AD, even if RU had one Quese would be back next year because Rutgers will accept loses then pay buyouts
After the 2026-27 season is my guess .

This problem of excessive contract extensions was a Hobbs special he gave them out like candy to many coaches who are underperforming and he has hamstrung the athletic department for the next AD!!
