[GORU2014]

Too much standing around. Looks like a state job

Northwestern is BAD. This is unacceptable, the arena sounds like a high school gym, I don’t wanna hear the “its hard to win on the road” bs. Figure this out, Harper and Geo should be ashamed of themselves for this complete no show in a game we need to win.

 

[RW90]

It's alright, the team plans on tightening up last five minutes of the game.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

18 of the abysmal 21 coming from not Ron and Geo is inexcusable

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

I miss Jacob Young bringing it every game

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Offense stagnant and disorganized.

Defense subpar.

Players and coaches both to blame.

 

[jordkap]

What happened to the games where we passed really well? Quick passes to find an open man and moving around on offense? I know we can do it, where is it?

 

[Phil da Thrill]

Best Team Ever down 13 to North'freakin'western. Comical.

It’s called Senior Leadership

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

It's shocking that he came back to school in this condition. Professionals don't look like that.

Each of the last two seasons, I expected him to come into the season in shape and have been surprised he hasn’t. Doubt he wants it bad enough

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Pike never has them prepared.. we rarely show up on the road.

This is not about preparation. It is about our best players not trying hard

 

[satnom]

Our offensive play in first halves of games is fuuugly.

GO RU

 

[Scangg]

I miss Jacob Young bringing it every game

EO and Young played too hard for Ron and Geo sounds like

 

[bethlehemfan]

Rebound and stop throwing the ball away.

 

[bitnez]

At its core this is supposed to be fun — entertainment. Sure, winning is fun but we play a boring ugly style of basketball that isn’t fun to watch.

 

[RU848789]

Weak foul call on Caleb

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Remember when we played defense?

I can barely cope with the putrid, and I do mean putrid, offense when the D plays great.

 

[GORU2014]

Are we taking the Peter Pan bus to get to these games? Staying at the Motel 6? There are 50 fans there so it’s not the atmosphere doing this

 

[bac2therac]

Unlikable team...and ive been following since 1988

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

I would take Caleb out for the rest of the game. Inexcusable

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

McConnell is sooooooo had

 

[RU Mike73]

Nice D Caleb. Not

 

[RUBlackout]

Every game this team comes out as if they are hungover every first half…they looks asleep, half step to slow, and just lazy as ****.

that is on coaches IMO

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Cliff at least trying

 

[GORU2014]

At its core this is supposed to be fun — entertainment. Sure, winning is fun but we play a boring ugly style of basketball that isn’t fun to watch.

I’d rather win than get style points, it’s when we’re doing neither that there’s a problem

Northwestern is far from bad. I get your frustration but making stupid comments, well.......just makes you look stupid

 

[Scangg]

Each of the last two seasons, I expected him to come into the season in shape and have been surprised he hasn’t. Doubt he wants it bad enough

If he was serious about the NBA he would have a different body by now

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Shocker, how about that, even our head coach knows it admits that we start slowly @Greene Rice FIG

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

We are getting killed by simple screens. KILLED

 

[Rokodesh]

He looks like he’s getting heavier As the season progresses.

His head has gained about 20 pounds

 

[Caliknight]

Pike should show the team NW offense. This is what good offense looks like.

And they aren't even breaking a sweat.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Just go sit Caleb, gee whiz

 

[Phil da Thrill]

Wow

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

McConnell defensive player of the year…lmao

 

[bac2therac]

Same pathetic play over and over and God forbid Jones plays

But he doesn't play D while everyone doesn't either

Its a ******** excuse the Pike *** kissers use..you play a guy to switch up what isn't working

 

[SBP]

Northwestern running some nice stuff.

 

[mugrat86]

Worst defense I ever seen

 

[rucoe89]

Team looks bewildered. Even their so called "tough defense" is being torched by Northwestern. Wonder what sad excuse Jerry Carino will pen to cover up just how badly this team is prepared and how poorly they are coached to execute offensively.

 

[RU Mike73]

Caleb clueless

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

How the hell is McConnell still in?!
