We all clown on Izzo for being scared of the RAC, but we should be clowning on the athletic department for allowing it to happen.

In April the NCAA will be approving a 5 to play 5 rule, thus doing away with red shirts

NO more conference home games on a neutral floor!!

Disagree
Not with the two health setbacks

Dylan has been snakebite this year. I asked this in the game thread but how many other teams have had a 20pt scorer (not to mention the best player on the court nearly game) sidelined for 6-7 conf games? I agree with OP. Rest him and bring him back only when he’s 100%. It’s a F’ng shame we haven’t had him at full strength this year

The problem is he has the type of injury that will take at least a couple of weeks minimum to heal and the means we will basically have played almost 75% of the schedule without a healthy Dylan

Ankle sprains have different grades. You don't know how severe his is.

So what Rich, he’s a non contributor in his current form.
Win enough at home to make the B1G tournament and sit him until he’s a time bomb of energy.

His body language and standing around is an enormous distraction

What B1G teams have a worse situation at the 5?

Pretty sure no Big 10 teams have a worse situation at the 5 at present.. being that it's only Lathan and Dortch. Just saying, I don't pretend to know who he could have gotten or not or understand the NIL picture for funds for a 5. Could he have gotten a really underrated defensive 5 from a small school for cheap, maybe. But it's probably a crapshoot at that point. Is it worth losing your 4 star recruit over? Maybe, maybe not. You have to play the game as it is now in the NIL world. Players have power.

Ogbole and Sommerville were serviceable and had moments of improvement and being enough to get by. What team has bona-fide stars or strengths for positions 1-5? The real issue to me is the lack of production from the other portal gets and lack of good guard play for most of the year.

Best player doesn't play and ace goes 3-16. It's pike's fault. Lol

Carr gave Ace a very hard time today. His length, size, and athleticism really bothered Ace.

Why not run some action off ball with Ace to get him a more advantageous matchup?

Sure, you can say he struggled shooting percentage wise, but WHY did that happen? And what adjustments were made by this staff to put Ace in a position to succeed in the 2nd half?

It’s the players job to put the ball in the hoop, but it’s the coach’s job to put him in a position to do so.

I don't want to see him again unless he's 100%

I know five years was talked about but I thought the plan was to redshirt Dortch. Pike says he’s burning it because of EO

That’s not college basketball anymore. You need to be able to construct a year-to-year roster and coach it. If he can’t do that…he should be fired.

His recurit and develop strategy is dead. If he can’t identify talent, allocate funds for it and coach it up he’s never going to have success going forward.

Not really - no 1 team in America Auburn.. only 3 transfers. 7 kids returned.

It’s not all about transfers and one and dones.

Dylan’s kryptonite is and always has been his toughness. As soon as he’s even remotely dinged, he’s a shell of himself. Last year at Bosco he was skipping games.

He’s just not the guy to go gut it out when he’s less than 💯. Not his game.

I agree with Zap, just sit him until
he deems himself 💯. Then and only then will we have the GameChanger this team needs.

We have to win enough games to make the big ten tourney then pray for a run at full strength

Think about it, with Dylan out, Pike was forced to give minutes to Jordan. Instead of putting JD in for 4 minutes and then substituting, i prior games JD was never able to get into the flow. MSU is no slouch and JD played tough, he deserves extended minutes to see if he can replicate this performance.

JD is not and never will be a Power 5 Divsion 1 player. He deserves ZERO minutes and should not even be on the roster. Stop playing JD

bowlgoal · Saturday at 4:36 PM

it took awhile to get here, but thats the kind of Rutgers defense needed to win. Look, Ace was just off and doesn’t miss that many shots and Derkack was unconscious. But the way i see it, MSU had one run that got them into double digits and we couldn’t recover. They are an older team.

But, the good news is that without a healthy Harper, we stayed in the game. I think Grant and Lathan are going to benefit with the extended playing time due to Ogboles injury.

We did some good things out there today and never gave up. Im going to stay positive and hope we can figure out a way to get to the Big 10 tournament and some type of post season play. If Dylan gets healthy, we could be a dangerous team.

Stay positive. I Love the football running back we landed today. Continue to play hard in hoops and thats that. Not gonna get upset over what we can’t control. Go RU.

I get it, but we weren't exactly blowing out bad teams when he was healthy

Exactly. A healthy Dylan might have scored 20 points, and Derkack probably gets significantly less. This game was never in doubt and we would find ways to lose. Coaching would also make a huge difference in a close game. This is not a good team at all.
