Pike’s biggest mistake is the rotations he puts out. He lets struggling players continue to get way too many minutes. He did that with Mulcahy when he self-destructed two years ago. He’s doing that with JWill and Martini. Especially JWill to be honest. I can’t stand watching JWill. I watched the first half of yesterday’s game again. His three fouls in the first half were all weak And 1’s to Michigan State. (The third one should have been, but the guy missed a bunny.) He is the ultimate momentum killer. I’m not a sports better, but he must know the spread for every game. If I bet against Rutgers in games this year, I’d be making some good money. The only good games he played were in Vegas. 🤔
Just play Acuff and Dercack as much as possible instead of JWill. Even PJ gave us some hustle and was in the game when we clawed back at the end of the first half. Dercack’s defense has improved. As long as he stops making his dumb, fancy passes, he deserves to get more minutes than JWill.
