[mikemarc1]

We don't have anybody who can drive.... Or shoot....... Or rebound

Eddie Jordan.

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

Every fan should be refunded their money

 

[bac2therac]

Today was important to win for many reasons. ..pau is the worat team next to rutgers. ..doesnt bode well not just the lost by the wretched offense against any school with a pulse

PSU, unfortunately, is a tad better than many here wanted to give them credit for prior to today. As Abro pointed out look at their SOS compared to ours. Not...even...int he same stratosphere.

 

[BillyC80]

Why isn't Mike looking for his shot?

 

[RuWishBone]

we need a takedown and some riding time

 

[richthedentist]

We just have absolutely no one who can shoot Otis what it is

 

[bac2therac]

Name our wins...more importantly our offense wont score over 60

 

[RuWishBone]

is this basketball?

 

[Abro1975]

RU now shooting 27% from the field, and 14 % from 3. Holy crap.

 

[PatrickRU92]

new year same story no toughness we get puked on again

has nothing to do with not being tough and everything to with simply not having enough offensive skills on the roster

 

[RuWishBone]

what's the weather going to be like

 

[RUsince52]

Announcers are staying positive. RU is still in it if we can make some shots ?????
Bad day to play bad and it doesn't have anything to do with PS. This one is strictly on US.

 

[RuWishBone]

this is a sad state of affairs

 

[NJDOVES]

Maybe you couldn't detect my sarcasm

I didn't say we're playing like shit because of the size of our guards, however, it IS one of the problems.

A "WTF" loss? Nope, not from my standpoint, couldn't understand why many here were calling this a "must win" either.

Agreed, I'm most disappointed with the turnovers. I know we can't make 3's right now...

 

[PatrickRU92]

Did I imagine Sanders not being a horrible shooter last year? Where did that go?

 

[ArminRU]

I've never seen so many bricks in my life. I'd be amazed if they win another game.

 

[RuWishBone]

made a foul shot progress oh what another

 

[Caliknight]

We have no shooters. Like in football we have no playmakers.

I won't name the player but one of supposed scoring guards took 7 shots when I saw him shooting pregame and didn't make one from 3. With no one on him. Warming up.

[RuWishBone]

free wings not

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I'm going to the deli. A nice "Lisa's Special" from Lisa's in Hoboken. Yum.

Team reminds me a lot of the football team. No offense.....very low talent.

Can't wait for the people who like to blame everything on coaching start to emerge on the baseketball side as well.

 

[Caliknight]

Did I imagine Sanders not being a horrible shooter last year? Where did that go?

He took a million shots to score those points. Untenable to team winning basketball.

Corey reminds me of those And 1 mix tape guys.

 

[koleszar]

O well I guess this cements our last place finish in the B1G again. Hopeful we can win 1 or 2 in the B1G, really can't expect miracles with this group of players. I think this might be our biggest crowd for the year interest will wane once again. It was fun while it lasted. Hope that is.

 

[Pritz99]

Patrick -- toughness is important. We virtually never go strong to the hope. Our inside guys are always fading away. One charge taken all day.

 

[RuWishBone]

remember we have a rematch with these guys in month time to send a message

 

[RuWishBone]

we are only down 12

 

[Caliknight]

I can see why Pike is playing Laurent less and less.

 

[RuWishBone]

can coaches make players better?

 

[RickB113]

When this happened last year the story was Eddie sucked. This year though we have a better and deeper team than last year but now it is the players fault? We just got embarrassed at home by the worst team in the big ten. Can we please stop with how great the coaching is and how much difference said great coaching makes?

 

[Abro1975]

what's a lisa sandwich ?

 

[richthedentist]

First one I don't like Pikell coaching or rotations how he is Playing Doorson over Diallo is beyond me and we need at least someone who can maybe shoot hasn't played Nigel in 10 minutes

 

[Caliknight]

Eddie sucked. Let's stop the nonsense.

You can do very little to make players better shooters at this level.

 

[RuWishBone]

we aint rocking nothing

 

[PiscatawayMike]

has nothing to do with not being tough and everything to with simply not having enough offensive skills on the roster

I think Pikiell would say it's a combination of both... lack of toughness and minimal offensive talent

 

[Abro1975]

Thank God 4 great Bowl games tomorrow before going back to work.

 

[Caliknight]

Offense is offensive.

 

[Pritz99]

Can't wait for the post-mortem

 

[soundcrib]

We showed up. The team didn't.
