Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Michigan

[rucoe89]

If NCAA ends up using finish of season as part of their decision-making, this team is a bubble team.

 

[Plum Street]

Up 13-3. And outscored 51-29 and counting

 

[toby83]

People that watch Rutgers and then complain about the quality of play in the nba definitely work minimum wage jobs

Same people constantly complaining about nba must LOVE sat 12u rec ball

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

They missed tons of free throws

Pike coached horribly

And most of the team came up small

Stop blaming mag for collapsing

Pike is responsible for 2 enormous momentum swings

The team sucked ball stoday as well

These two things. The big difference with Mag though was that Pike’s sub pattern didn’t cause as much damage with one more competent option on the floor during those stretches. But as coach Pike needs to adjust and not sub this way anymore.

 

[greenknight]

This garbage ass playing team is going to lose our high quality recruits

 

[RutgersNo1]

Fans should start to leave so Pike can wake the f up.

 

[Caliknight]

We are not a lock with just a Minnesota win

We are a lock at 10-10.

 

[fluoxetine]

I’m out. The team folded after Mag.

You’re not gonna start a few threads about it?

 

[Plum Street]

can’t blame the crowd tonight. they tried to will this team ; we are just so bad offensively to get anything going. 42 points in a league game

Huh ?? They should have went after Howard and we would have won. It was a plum guarantee in another thread. . Poor job

 

[RUfromNJ]

Lol who thinks we win at Penn St?

 

[RUTrack94]

Not a tournament team. It was, but it’s not now. The record might sneak them in but it’s not close. Worst performance of the year..by a lot.

NIT because beating only Minny would finish 18-14 (10-10).

Don’t see RU beating PSU or NW. Thought the same about Wisconsin though.

 

[fluoxetine]

Fans should start to leave so Pike can wake the f up.

Yeah, the problem is probably Pike isn’t trying

 

[biazza38]

If NCAA ends up using finish of season as part of their decision-making, this team is a bubble team.

It doesn’t
But we still need to win two more, and we’re not

 

[RUfan1027]

NIT. Let's get tickets guys!

 

[bac2therac]

Pikell needs to get laced into this was beyond a horrible coaching job no offense his substitution pattern just fckn suck clueless
How does Palmquist play almost the whole second half and how do you take Paul out and leave Palm in

Agree

Embarrassingly outcoached

 

[Rokodesh]

Worst coached game by Pike I can ever recall

Team goes up 10 early and head coach tells the crowd to go **** them selves

 

[robjknight]

Watch us eat up the clock down 10.
Nobody played well tonight. Total team poor game.

 

[RuBird]

When our 3PT% is better then our FT% you know there is a problem

 

[scarletknight077]

We are a lock at 10-10.

18-13 and loss in first round is not a lock

 

[newell138]

19 points this half!!

 

[biazza38]

This is pathetic

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

We are a lock at 10-10.

I’m not so sure about that. Think we need 11. At 10-10 we’re going to be playing a non-tourney team in round 1 of the B1G tourney. I don’t think we’re definitely in going 1-3 the rest of the way with an 18-14 record.

 

[greenknight]

6'7 play like you are 5'10

 

[FrankZ]

Mag got benched at northwestern and Purdue. Just gonna keep saying that.

Our depth stinks. What is so hard to grasp here?

 

[FinalFourOrBust]

Agree

Embarrassingly outcoached

It’s almost like Michigan is full of 4-5 star recruits and Rutgers is full of 3 stars.

 

[bac2therac]

I guarantee we beat Northwestern

 

[tfio]

Didn’t deserve to win and team only has itself to blame. Crowd showed up, Michigan provided opportunity after opportunity to cut lead and even take the lead but once again our offense pisses down it’s own leg with lazy and stupid turnovers. Also free throws…not great. And once again, Rutgers did what Rutgers always does…lose to Michigan

 

[hiwater]

Caleb can not pass, so dumb with ball.

He had 3 horrible cross court passes that were intercepted. Why is he forcing those balls? Each one lead to points. The team is over passing. There were 2 turnovers on passes by Mulcahy to Palmquest where he was running down the court. Pal can't dribble. You can't hit him when he is moving.

 

[Rokodesh]

We are not a lock with just a Minnesota win

Minnesota is going to humiliate this shit team

 

[RUSeaGirtMA]

Can this team still make the tourney?

 

[NBHPRU]

I don't care if it's two handed set shots off the glass, you must make your freaking free throws!

Foul shooting was brutal.

 

[KnightLife1994]

we overachieved record wise and are even only a bubble team because of the win at Purdue. This is not a tourney team period

 

[FinalFourOrBust]

Our depth stinks. What is so hard to grasp here?

Mag wasn’t that good. What is so hard to grasp here?

 

[scarletknight077]

I guarantee we beat Northwestern

We will lose to psu and be dead in water then beat Minnesota and northwestern to sneak into tournament. Just like last two years lol

 

[Rokodesh]

Net down 6-10 tomorrow

Doesn't matter they won't win another game

 

[Mr Magoo]

Great. Going to fall to 9-8, same as Illinois and Iowa, the two teams we cannot end up in a tie with.
We are heading for 9th seed, not 3rd or 4th.

We’ve got way bigger problems than seeding.

 

[fluoxetine]

Can this team still make the tourney?

I mean, they’ll probably win at Penn state, because that’s how this always seems to go

 

[rucoe89]

This was a self inflicted loss of poor offense/defense in transition.

TOs Rutgers 13 UM 10
Pts off Rutgers 3 Michigan 17
FT RU 4-14 UM 3-4

Pikiell loves ugly wins. But that means the ugly losses are spectacularly ugly.

 

[bac2therac]

4 pt 9 :20 min

 

[BillyC80]

Worst part is listening to Jimmy Jackson drone on.
