Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Northwestern

[RU Mike73]

Freshman in 1969. Fan forever. Never more gutted.

 

[rucoe89]

Pike's O is no better than Jordan's D

True - both are nonexistent.

 

[Caliknight]

Outcoached. Again.

Outplayed. No coaching in the world can make kids hit shots

 

[kupuna133]

McConnell top of key running the show and pass to Paul for 3....
\oh boy......

It’s like the 2 of them have the under and NW money line

 

[bac2therac]

The ball off the leg...will it be stuff of legends

 

[Ru0822]

Why does no one cut to the basket on a double team. Everyone just standing around…

 

[FrankZ]

Our shooting is just absolutely pathetic. Recruit some shooters please. More than one

 

[Scangg]

Simpson wide open air ball lol

Cut it to 10 again though...

 

[Shell21]

now he takes cam out and leaves paul in? are we all watching the same game?

 

[cicero grimes]

We need a talent infusion in the worst way

The main priority in the off season has to be to find a consistent scorer who is not afraid to take a big shot to stop the other teams momentum.

 

[NickRU714]

Simpson pushing it.

He's like an active puppy just running all over and trying to fire everyone up.

 

[Rokodesh]

Huge drop in net incoming

This could affect our NIT seeding

 

[robjknight]

Last 2 times Nicholson came out to double team leaving Cliff alone and we take stupid 3’s

 

[rucoe89]

Outplayed. No coaching in the world can make kids hit shots

Our defense should be clamping and generating easy transitions. Seems like NW is doing that.

 

[RUsojo]

Nice pass from simpson nice to have a guard who can push tempo and take advantage of cliff advantage over every defender in transition

 

[The RUT]

The ball off the leg...will it be stuff of legends

Dude saw Caleb and got spooked

 

[RUfromNJ]

Our shooting is just absolutely pathetic. Recruit some shooters please. More than one

What are we shooting on jump shots tonight?

 

[njxchange]

Enough with the BS that this is on Pike. Bottom line is they make shots, RU is not.

Yea he is leaving in players who is not performing and leaving guys out who has ability to lift us...
hmmmmmmmm

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

We need to push pace. We have no halfcourt game

 

[NickRU714]

The main priority in the off season has to be to find a consistent scorer who is not afraid to take a big shot to stop the other teams momentum.

From all accounts and reports it'll be Gavin hopefully.

 

[RUinOhio]

There go the boos again @RutgersClassof2004 you moron.

 

[FrankZ]

2-14 from 3 and most nowhere close

 

[mugrat86]

Funnily enough they are very close in TOs per 100 and TO%. Each just above the other.

Did you watch Palmquist allow the guy driving to blow right by him for an uncontested lay up

 

[Mr Magoo]

Enough with the BS that this is on Pike. Bottom line is they make shots, RU is not.

Pike recruited these non shooters

 

[RUTrack94]

Help is on the way. Thank god

Nah … the recruits will decommit. RU can’t have nice things.

 

[koleszar]

Enough with the BS that this is on Pike. Bottom line is they make shots, RU is not.

Maybe if we run some plays for open looks or easy baskets like NW is getting that could change? Just a thought.

 

[NickRU714]

How many f'n alley oops?

 

[Fat Koko]

If Cliff or Nicholson breaks a backboard on one of their dunks, does the RAC have a replacement on hand or will the game be cancelled?

If the game is cancelled, would it be a no contest or would Northwestern get the win and Rutgers the loss?

 

[bac2therac]

Not passing an eye test

 

[Rokodesh]

Enough with this ****ing zone. Cliff should not be guarding 15 feet from the ****ing basket. Pike you are ****ing killing us

 

[bethlehemfan]

Moving screen on the pick and roll no call of course.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Not passing an eye test

Nor a smell test

 

[njxchange]

I think Pike letting his seniors play it out... thats why Paul getting the minutes

 

[RutgersNo1]

lol discord homers still want to give steve a lifetime contract

 

[RUsojo]

Oh here we go again another pike timeout after a made basket

 

[ScarletWalk11]

Can’t go underneath the screen

 

[Shell21]

our d sucks too. can’t stop the pick and roll. another embarrassing home loss

 

[JoeRU0304]

...if you were on the NIT selection committee, would you want this team in your tournament? I seriously wouldn't; they play absolutely miserable basketball.

 

[Nycrusupporter]

I can’t believe we’re even shooting 30%

Why, this is nothing new?

 

[FrankZ]

Boo Buie goes kapooey
