RAPID REACTION - Iowa

Andy Katz was the sideline reporter on the telecast. He mentioned twice in the 2nd half that Pike was imploring the team during timeouts to play with energy, clapping and trying to energize them.

This team has no heart and no leadership.

And we still haven’t figured out how to defend Iowa’s motion offense after 9 years.
Perhaps that is because we cannot run a motion offense to practice against.

We have a stand-around-and-watch offense.

Pike outcoached. Again. Disgusted.

They rebounded ok. They just played soft. Every 5050 ball went Iowa's way.

They are young and you need to go through things at that age but one thing you can't live with is lack of effort.

They thought they were going to just roll out and win the second half because they won the first half. The coaches didn't get through to them they weren't tough enough to understand it.

Ultimately it's on the coaches but if you are a player on that team you are having a long look in the mirror and saying you fvcked your coach.

Or maybe they don't care. They are all making some money, Ace and Dylan are multi millionaire's about to have FU you money before they turn 19...as fans we you don't want to think it's possible but maybe they just don't give af.
I've been thinking that for a while, but after tonight, I convinced they just don't GAF.

Fire Steve Pikiell

It’s not realistic as we don’t have a president, which explains why we don’t have an AD plus Pike is still owed a boatload of money on his contract. But, in a vacuum and a perfect world, and based upon the arc that this program is on (downward and disappointing, not a good combo), yes he would be fired. It’s not gonna happen but he is earning the firing this year.

Basketball Rutgers falls at home to Iowa, ends at-large hopes with poor second half

how about the inbounding? 😂😂😂

Hail Mary to the other team.

They are ****ing awful at everything related to basketball. Zero coaching the entire season.

Pike and staff have to go. Two dreadful years in a row, with zero improvement. Players throwing the ball all over the ****ing court to the other team, or slipping on banana peels, or pump faking until they get blocked or stolen, or whatever jailhouse rules Derkack plays by.

Whole program is an embarassment. A good coach would call that out right away. Is he afraid of hurting their feelings?

Dylan injured!!

No question. Air came out of the game on those shots. That's the PG leader making really bad decisions.

Hero ball from a guy with one foot out the door. Tough for college basketball when some of these guys are only here because they have to be.

NBA needs to allow kids from hs to go straight to the league if they can.
Not the NBA’s fault …no one says you have to recruit these guys
