WTF with "suffers" in the headline

I know I’ve suffered watching it, I assume others share the sentiment.

He played out of his mind today. But we need consistency. Martini gave good minutes but his shot was way off today. Acuff is just a liability on D.

This is the 2nd screw up by the staff with Dylan. Should not have been at Indiana or played against Wisconsin.

He should not have played today. That ankle injury will continue to linger.

He’s getting paid $3.5 million dollars to coach a team with two lottery picks. This team is badly constructed and badly coached. We suck in all phases of the game.

When in your opinion does this become Pikes fault.

If you read my post above - I give my opinion.

Pike has had the most success with under recruited, blue collar guys. When that philosophy stops working for him - that’s when I’d consider it a coaching issue.

He certainly constructed this roster with transfers - and one and dones - and again, it’s not the roster that fits his style.

Get back to basics next year, and if that fails that’s when I’d say it’s a pikiell problem

You can’t “gut out” losing 10 pounds or spraining an ankle.

Some can, he can’t.
Kudos for trying, Pike had to have the balls to use the 100 percent rule with him… very tough to do.
BUT
He should know now to sit him

I watched him and I don't think this is true. He just stood around most of his time on the court. But maybe he was just 50% today, in that case he shouldn't have even been on the court as he was useless.

Agree that he was less than 50% today.

he averages 21 minutes per game thats rotational minutes for a player who is a rotational piece on most average to above average teams

If Dercack averages 21 minutes on your P4 team your team is probably not very good.....case in point!

No, he doesn’t contribute playing half speed, not that kind of player.

Ordinarily I’d agree with your concept as it applies to some…. Dylan has proven it doesn’t apply to him

He scores 6 pts. Williams and Davis scored 6 combined.

I've stated Harper + Bailey + good (not needing great) games from the rest is R winning formula. What's the problem?

When the other 3 guys on offense are NOT part of offense there is NO winning formula plain & simple

Williams knocked down no call, And IZZO complaining to refs right up to the last second

For Izzo, I thought he was very mellow compared to other years.

If someone is going to put a post like this, then they should know who Pike could or could not have gotten with NIL money. There were far greater problems for this team than the backup center.

absolutely incorrect. the team doesn’t have a decent starting center. Sommerville has some old man moves around the hoop because he can’t leave his feet. And he can’t defend or rebound because he’s too slow. He’s the serviceable backup, or Ogbole was. We have a gaping hole at the 5.

MSU had three bigs far superior to Lathan today.

Up 7-1 on Hofstra after 1Q.

Dylan’s kryptonite is and always has been his toughness. As soon as he’s even remotely dinged, he’s a shell of himself. Last year at Bosco he was skipping games.

He’s just not the guy to go gut it out when he’s less than 💯. Not his game.

I agree with Zap, just sit him until
he deems himself 💯. Then and only then will we have the GameChanger this team needs.

You can’t “gut out” losing 10 pounds or spraining an ankle.

The RUT · Saturday at 4:21 PM

I agree. Credit to him for giving it a go and trying to battle, but the energy level dropped off big time when he was on the court.

I’d rather have 100% of our bench guards playing effort basketball than 60%-75% Harper.

He’s an insane talent, but it’s hurting more than it’s helping right now.

With the evolution of Ace, not a great game today but a huge improvement since Vegas.
A healthy 100 percent and motivated dominant Dylan would have resulted in MANY wins.
Our current bench with the added minutes of Grant would have made us dangerous with a non sick and injured Dylan

There is not 1 team in the WORLD winning with 2 players taking 80% of shots dont care how the emerge or how healthy stay are. May have better chance in NBA but college is team ball. Teams actually defense in college

That’s not what Zap is saying. I think Zap is saying he shouldn’t try to gutted out.

Yeah, it's a lot his fault. As a coach he should be able to correct it. You play defense with your feet - teach it, and he won't commit dumb fouls.

You think it’s that easy?

RUisB1Gtime · Saturday at 4:21 PM

Watching up close. We have an athletic team. A healthy Dylan and EO clogging up the lane, it's a tight game.....Biggest mistake was not playing Grant and Dortch early. ..He should have Let them learn on the fly.
