They scored almost at will late in the game.Every single time we made a big basket we give it right back on the other end. All damn night
We got 2 game winning shot opportunitiesThey were not great and drove me nuts for long stretches in the game...but yeah this one's on Rutgers.
Ron was open. It wasn’t the play that messes it upWe had the ****ing win and our coach can’t draw up an inbounds play.
Been an issue for years. Basic shit.
well.. we were in position to win and did not.. so that part is on Rutgers.They were not great and drove me nuts for long stretches in the game...but yeah this one's on Rutgers.
Geo step back…when in doubt….and we always in doubtThe last possession in regulation was killer. The game should have been won there period..settling for an outside shot inexcusable
Pike would have had to have a way to stop the penetration that happened all gameThis game was 110% on Pike and I don’t want to hear otherwise from anyone on this board.
The players played their asses off and deserved to win that game.
pretty much all game-worst D of the year easilyThey scored almost at will late in the game.
Caleb was wide open. Pass it to him and game is likely over. Coaches can only do so much. I just get annoyed at shitheads mouthing off when they have no idea wtf they are talking about.Yes I agree with you too. Just no need to fight about it when obviously Paul didn’t want to do that himself
Ron and geo can’t play all game. They were gassed. Giving them that breather got Ron and geo an extra OT. I understand I thought same thing but we were gassed.We were up 7 and plying well and then for whatever reason Hyatt and Mag came in and stayed for a while…smh
Paul shoulda called a TO on that inbound. We had one left and he had just lost a game on a similar inbound to Harper.Ron was open. It wasn’t the play that messes it up
Very very well coached. They don’t turn the ball over either. I hate Brey but damn he showed us something today .Just a rough guess, but I assume ND had 60+ points in the paint? That’s on coach. Their entire offense in OT was drive, chuck it at the rim, and get the put back if it doesn’t go in
Bro. This isn’t complicated.Pike didnt pass the ball in...something you learn and I teach. Pass the player open he had Geo open he had a step you then pass him.open. a high lob is the absolute dumbest pass I r seen now multiple gsmes
He literally threw away the gameAnother inbounds play brain fart that was masked by two answered prayers from Ron Harper Jr.
The board is way too hard on Mulcahy. He had a poor start but was fine after that. There was no bench production AGAIN, and the starters ran out of gas. This is a game that Rutgers wins by 10 last year because of Myles Johnson and Jacob Young; really wish they stayed.
Disagree. Drop off on offense but a step up in D. Need to play possession ball at the end.the problem is that there is a HUGE drop off from starters to bench.
Pike was smart to ride the starters. that decision wasnt the problem.
the problem is recruiting - he hasnt recruited a deep enough team
WelpIf that's running circles around us, then why are they not winning? Rutgers has taken away their ability to shoot threes. The trade-off is ND scoring in the paint. That has to be digging at their souls. Watch ND scheme up ways to get most 3 point off.
Then he needs to recruit a bench that isn’t overwhelmed vs NDRon and geo can’t play all game. They were gassed. Giving them that breather got Ron and geo an extra OT. I understand I thought same thing but we were gassed.
the ND fans didnt seem very happy with some of the calls against them in the 2nd half.They were not great and drove me nuts for long stretches in the game...but yeah this one's on Rutgers.
For the life of me, I don't understand why they let Wesley get a free run to the basket at the end of the first OT. Guy couldn't hit the wide side of a barn all game including on the FT line. FOUL HIM and make him make two FTs to tie the game.They scored almost at will late in the game.
You are another asshole but you take it to a whole nother level.If it wasn't for desperation 3s, we would have lost much earlier. ND was the more disciplined team that was able to run plays effectively. We looked confused, tired and lethargic, and we're bailed out by desperate 3s late in the game. Again, we choked in the clutch. That's how this team will be remembered. They only played well when they weren't expected to win. They couldn't handle success.
I have no issue with the penetration tbh.Pike would have had to have a way to stop the penetration that happened all game
we went the entire season without getting ripped to pieces on the inside, play after play...
all of a sudden it was a huge weakness...... when everybody thought it was the three pointers being the threat, and RU stronger inside...
what the heck
Agree. I think we got a Harper 3 and then a Geo elbow fade and neither went in. You want those guys taking shots but one needs to go down.The last possession in regulation was killer. The game should have been won there period..settling for an outside shot inexcusable
No I totally agree. Pike has many things to work on. And I think just because he’s taken us to 3 consecutive NCAA tournaments doesn’t mean he has no flaws. He has a ton. And in order for us to get past the first couple rounds ur needs to work on them. We could’ve easily have wonBro. This isn’t complicated.
Paul inbounds (I’d like him to be an option here but he’s our best passer so okay you accept that).
He puts Hyatt on the floor and runs him to the other end of the court. Okay so he’s not an option.
Then your remaining 3 guys you just have them run around like their heads are cut off.
No screen to get a man free? Absolute trash. The fact that anyone is defending that is insane to me. It’s been an issue in multiple games. Some of you are straight up blind to the things Pike needs to improve.
How is that being an asshole? His analysis is fairYou are another asshole but you take it to a whole nother level.
Paul had about as bad a defensive game as possible. He was in every highlight for the wrong reason.Another inbounds play brain fart that was masked by two answered prayers from Ron Harper Jr.

Disagree. Drop off on offense but a step up in D. Need to play possession ball at the end.
But then you have to rebound.I have no issue with the penetration tbh.
I mean we knew they were a good shooting team and we were worried about pikes flash double/pressure in the post creating kick outs.
Instead of doing that Pike decided to just take the 3 ball away entirely. That was his GP so you live and die with it.
I actually think you’re a great poster that in general leans on the positive/benefit of the doubt side of things, but you’ll call it how you see it for the most part.No I totally agree. Pike has many things to work on. And I think just because he’s taken us to 3 consecutive NCAA tournaments doesn’t mean he has no flaws. He has a ton. And in order for us to get past the first couple rounds ur needs to work on them. We could’ve easily have won
How do you blame a coach if a player throws a bad pass when Harper was right there to catch it and then probably get fouled?Rutgers should have won the game prior to third OT but the defense was pathetic.Final score 89-87 Notre Dame.The failure of the Mulcahy in bounds pass was beyond belief because it has happened before.The coaching staff has to take the blame for that play.When Rutgers scores 87 points they must win that game .The defense was abysmal especially around the basket.
You love losing. That basically explains your whole outlook on life. I feel for you.You are another asshole but you take it to a whole nother level.
There was 20 seconds left in a 1 pt game. Geo had just missed the front of a 1 and 1. Maybe but no guaranteeAll Mulcahy had to do was complete the inbound pass and the game is over.
That is all
All Mulcahy had to do was complete the inbound pass and the game is over.
That is all
There was no one open. That is on Pike.If our point guard can complete a pass that you learn in k-5 we win this game
We didn't drive much tho.16 free throws to 6.
Refs missed a few calls, but that wasn't the difference. RU simply didn't rebound and defend the paint well enough16 free throws to 6.
