RAPID REACTION - Iowa

Now that I've had a few minutes to calm down, get this coaching staff out of my university. Can get a cheerleader who rolls the balls out and holds nobody accountable for a lot less than $4M per year.

Thanks for the good times, but it's over. Take the high road and negotiate a settlement with the school. He's obviously too stubborn to change up how he runs this program.
This was unacceptable tonight, everyone from Katz on the sideline, Hummel on the broadcast, to Pike himself on the bench talked about the lack of energy and effort. That falls on Pike, totally unacceptable and based upon the downward and disappointing arc of the program, it makes Pike fireable. I know it’s not happening in reality, but in a perfect world it should happen as the team did not listen and respond to him. Makes you then wonder if any messages are getting through to them this year.

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.
I concur and strongly recommend implementing such a offense at Rutgers.

But, but, but Pikiell is a defensive genius. Bull shit. He's a stubborn fool. Macaffrey made the adjustments in the second half by running his motion offense with high and low ball screens and cutting into the paint, and they killed us in the paint with their center and wings with easy layups. then when we collapsed on them, they kicked it out to Dix and Sanfort and knocked down open threes. Why Pikiell insists on playing man-to-man baffles me, especially when we're getting smoked out there.

Pike outcoached. Again. Disgusted.

Ace and Dylan will both be on campus for less than a calendar year. Amd both are making a ton of $$ with crazy money on the near horizon. How much vested interest in Rutgers and this season could they possibly have.
The same can be said about someone like pJ Hayes or Martini. They DGAS about Rutgers. They likely got paid some stupid amount of money, stink for 14 weeks, leave and likely never return. We probably bought Noah Fernandes a ton of diapers and baby formula last year to average like 8 ppg and get his shit stuffed twice a game.

Probably never will at this point, assuming Iowa and Rutgers have same head coaches

Team is done. Same issues every game and zero improvement all year so far. Horrific roster construction and a non functional offense (yet again). Just a disaster of a season. Coming off a disaster of a season. And heading into a likely another disaster of a season. But let's go build a statue...
Spot on comments except for building a statue.I prefer a refund to all season ticket holders.

RAPID REACTION - Iowa

24 combined points from Harper and Ace against defensively and athletically challenged Iowa just won't get it done
The lack of points was bad, but the lack of effort was worse from both of them. Low energy Dylan the whole game and Ace beaten on the defensive end a number of times by players who are nowhere near his talent level. It wasn’t about talent tonight, it was about effort and Iowa had way more than us on a night where our two best players looked like they played with minimal effort.
