Basketball Rutgers Basketball suffers 81-74 loss to No. 8 Michigan State at MSG

LOL sure maybe Derkack's breakout game goes for 20 in that hypothetical. Does a healthy Harper still not get 18, 19 and open up Ace for a few more baskets? Harper is also better on D than any of R guards.
Here in is the problem with people on this site....you are NOT winning with 2 players. There are more than 2 players on this team we just choose to dictate that only 2 players should be taking 80% of shots while everyone else just plays defense and stands there and spectates on offense.. Team 1st Stats 2nd cant play with that mindset LOSS

Stop, this team does not execute winning basketball. They could easily have beaten Kennesaw, easily beaten Bama, easily beaten Princeton, easily beaten A&M, easily beaten PSU on the road…..but they didn’t……good teams win, bad teams find ways to lose. These guys find ways to lose, they are 6-10 in their last 16 games. They are not a good team.
All this ^^^^

In no way does Derkack go for 20 if Harper is 100%. Just my opinion. You’re entitled to yours. Of course I’d rather have Dylan at 100%, but when we did we still lost close to good teams. And he wasn’t even just good he was out of his mind good. My point is the rest of the roster isn’t good enough to win big boy games. It’s a team sport and we have to stop making excuses. It’s a poor roster overall.
No argument about the roster--I've been barking about that since early December.

Simply horrendous halfcourt offense. The 3 point shooting was horrendous .Bailey had a poor shooting effort and Harper spent most of the game on the bench with the inured ankle.Kudos to Durkack for a outstanding game scoring 26 points.Michigan State did their thing with the curl offense creating and making close range shots to the basket or getting fouled.This was a winnable game if Rutgers had a healthy Harper ,Martini made some 3 pointers and Bailey made some second half baskets.Bottom line the team has very little chance of winning without 40 points from Bailey and Harper.Bailey is really being challenged with double teams with Harper not playing.Great crowd at MSG but just another loss away from the RAC.

Martini has lost all confidence

It's crazy neither he nor Hayes has been able to be an impact 3 point shooter for this team

If Hayes gets 5 open looks from 3...
They have both been horrendous in virtually every game this season. At some point, maybe we just need to acknowledge they aren't B1G caliber players and this is the best they can do.
