For you eternal optimists who believe we will magically turn it around in conference.

And wait til next year 
Jaden Jones looked miserable on the bench. He will be gone next year. Geo was atrocious. McConnell is a joke. I have never seen a team miss more bunnies and shoot more air balls on wide open looks.

Let’s be fair ...as bad as that was, the lack of offense is by far the most disturbing thing
And it’s not the 4-26 from three
Take away the dunks ...our 2 percentage was awful to a flat foot slow zone defense

Leaving one of the best F’king basketball arenas and atmospheres in the Northeast to rot
Just based on body language tonight Jones is gone.
Minnesota basically fielded a team from scratch this past offseason. They look WAY better than us so far.
whatever he has bad body language to begin with. Not the kind of player I was hoping to see. Looks like he’s playing AAU. ball out there
Because there is nothing being run . All we do is pass on the perimeter against the zone like a cyo team would do. I would never play an ounce of man against us after watching Merrimack and Lafayette’s zone against us. I guess the leopards have a great zone as well
They used the portal. We had one decent player fall into our lap and then pIke tried and failed miserably and we would up with Agee,
Our 8 ft (or 6’6” center depending on who you ask), who can’t get off the bench against 0-4 (now 1-4) Lafayette.
Just posted that pike made a real mess by trying to make Paul a point and geo a two guard and we are so far out of whack because of it
Coaching created a lot of things mess . Way too much thinking going on and not enough playing
U Minn ex coach Rick Pitino Jr it also fielding a much better team than RU in his first year at New Mexico with all new players
True, rough shooting night but he must play more minutes. He can draw fouls, get into paint, more good things possible vs mag, Caleb etc
Pike thought there was a gentleman's agreement not to recruit anyone else's starters in the portal.
I've been saying this for two years.
I didn't see the game but did we run our famous "screen the ball 25 feet from the basket" play?
That always seems to work.
No, because they were in zone . However you must pass to the wing, pass to the top of key, pass to the other wing, Jack up a 3.
I thought my Raiders were in bad shape, and we are, but to lose to DePaul, who had won 7 total games over two years. Ok. On the road, maybe u can make that argument. To score 51 at home vs an 0-4 Lafayette. This just ruined anyone’s thoughts of a fun spring for RU hoops, that’s for sure.
To be fair we can’t shoot from 2 either unless it’s a dunk
Jacob and Myles look very smart right now.
One player should't be identified when its a collective futility on offense.What concerns me is how unprepared the team is to play on offense and defense.
we have tall athletes who look good on posters and getting off the bus. we dont have many good basketball players,
but i give pike credit....our team poster is much more impressive than Lafayette's. If you predict a score based on looking at the posters, we'd have crushed them by 50.

I have been having terrible luck this year- Rutgers, Lakers, Cowboys, Angels.
I had another post with team futility.
This was in response to 1 player looking miserable on the bench & poster alluding to him wanting out via portal because he was above the mess.
