RAPID REACTION - Michigan

Yes to Somerville.

Who had the highest + / - in the game? Both teams.

Trust me there was a reason why Pike played Martini so many minutes. Against Michigan it is night and day on the defensive end with him in there

Looking at the season.......

Q: Who has the highest +/- on the team?
A: Zach Martini

Q: Is there a player that stands out when on the court for the season from an adjusted defensive efficiency standpoint?
A: Zach Martini

Worst to best
Grant 1.069
PJ 1.045
Derkack 1.008
Ogbole .994
Harper .983
Acuff .972
Sommerville .972
JaMike .968
JWill .961
Ace .956
Martini .933
+/- is statistically proven to be a meaningless stat on a per player basis. Why are you continuing to reference it as a way of proving value of a single player?

RAPID REACTION - Michigan

Another point is the lack of half time adjustment to them double teaming Ace. Pike needed to come up with a strategy to offset what they were doing with Ace. That's his job. Seemed like the second half was a repeat of the first half. Someone was always free when they double teamed ACE and we didn't take advantage. Hoping Ace would break out in the second half is not a strategy.
NW sent doubles all game. Most teams have.

No. 12 Rutgers wrestling (11-4, 3-2) hits the road to face No. 8 Minnesota (7-1, 3-1) on Sunday 1 pm BigTen Network

Not typical, but given strength on top vs developmental bottom game (at least as a true Frosh), maybe he takes top when it counts in March? What he did vs Illinois was Impressive.
This is a good point, I have asked coaches "why did you put him on bottom?" and they say, they wanted the wrestler to get the feel, to see if they could get out etc. and this would make their decisions at the indiv tournaments.

How many more years does Pike get a pass with no tournament?

Clock starts when new AD is hired. New AD will want to give one full season then make his or her move, if situation calls for it after that season.

Biggest questions are probably what is the temperament of basketball boosters, and based on financials will the new AD find he needs them or can he do it without needing much money from them.

OT: Stock and Investment Talk

NASDAQ 100 futures getting pummeled. (Down 2.55%). Should be interesting to see if there are any opportunities, or wait to things settle. I’m going to be cautious, but will look for any opportunities that make sense to me. (i.e. stocks that are fairly or undervalued, but drop with the rest of the market in sympathy.)
As of now: Dow down 1%. S&P down 1.5%, Daq down 2.2%. Not awful.

Any thoughts on what type of stock or sector may get hit the most? Would love to buy some dips.

Good segment on the tariffs:

Also, Goldman Sachs out with a note saying that they expect the tariffs to be "short-lived".
Agreed, Panama has already agreed to boot China from canal projects and to leave the Silk Road Initiative.

This is the most ham-fisted, aggressive foreign policy the US has pursued in decades if not ever, but the administration is adjudicating its foreign goals quickly.

OT: Cooking up some LoBro!

I always put pork and beef in my tomato sauce (gravy in South Philly) and my beef choice yesterday was London Broil! Super tender after 3 1/2 hours. It was cut into smaller pieces and I had to use the big spoon to pull them out of the sauce, fork went right threw it. Will pull it apart in the next few days and have a Italian beef, sauce and mozzarella on a good roll this week!
I make an awesome braciole for my homemade sauce. I wish it wasn't so good and people loved it because it's the biggest pain in the ass to make tying each individual piece. I usually just make bigga meataballs. I find when I put any type of meat in the acidity of the sauce really goes down and makes for a better sauce. my standard is to make about 5 gals. every few months and freeze it

Men’s Lacrosse Travels to No. 20 Lehigh For Saturday’s Opener

Watched the replay.

One, if you want to know how injuries really impacted last season, the two top scorers for this game missed most of last season with injuries.

Two, Splaine seems like the typical does all the little things right that don’t always show up in the box score type of player. Like picking off a couple of passes.

Three, if there’s one player that will benefit the most from a healthy roster, it’s Kulas. Just thought injuries the past two seasons really forced him into a role that didn’t fit his strengths.

OT: Star Ledger ending Print Edition This Weekend

I won't miss it and haven't bought in maybe a decade. But man there was a time as a kid in the late 80s and early 90s where I couldn't wait to get that Sunday sports section during baseball season. Looking through all the box scores and the season stat leaders was just great as a young baseball fan. Now, with access immediately, I couldn't tell you one season stat leader from last year, nor do I GAF!
Truth.

Who of our guys goes earliest in Aprils draft

I
Pierce is likely a 4th round pick with a good combine.
Monangai is likely a 5th round pick.
Powell needs an elite combine to be more than a late pick. Even then he's not going in the 3rd round.
Longerbeam is also a late round pick but could slip out of the draft due to being very light.
Hamilton is my sleeper on sliding in as a late round pick with the versatility he showed this year.

I think KM is more likely 4th rd.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights Open

WE are so lucky to have Chloe! What an amazing achievement. Hope to see her in the Olympics one day.
Totally agree. Gets the 15' monkey off her back early in the season this year...she is destined to be so much better than that, I think. I have always been afraid she was going to pick up and leave us to transfer to a school with a record of real T&F success. She has probably been Rutgers' single most successful individual athlete, in any sport, over her career here. Go Chloe! Go RU! Rutgers to become Pole Vault U!!!!!
