OT: Moderate to Significant Snow (and some rain SE of 95) for Sunday, 1/19.

Yes, they were quite skeptical at 4 am. They won't be if the 12Z global models come in hot, like the first one just did with the ICON showing much more snow than previous runs (a general 3-5"). We'll know in about 2 hours...
No snow please.

Plans to visit the Lakota Wolf Center for some father-daughter time on Sunday.

On another note, the DREADFUL, SCREAMING, announcer is back!

After a 3 he extends his announcement to 10 or 11 seconds, 50% of the next possession on average. Who can we complain to? Why does Pike put up with this sh..?
I know who do we complain to?? The other guy (new) was there all season and fantastic! He does the “promos only” now…

Maybe if enough people complain here they will get it

Derkack needs to get benched

Sorry but the things you’ve posted about him offer a completely unfair take on the kid. The worst Rutgers player ever? Huh?

1) He’s attempted 61 free throws this season. For perspective - that’s second on the team after Dylan - Ace plays 10 more mpg than him and has only taken 60 FTs. This is not a fluke. Jordan is good at getting to the line and that’s not “nothing”. Again - he’s a sophomore in terms of eligibility.

2) Your making it out like he routinely chucks 3s. That’s not true either - actually kind of the opposite. He’s taken 27 threes on the season. Most of the time when he takes a wide open 3 and misses he refrains from taking any more (10 times this season). He’s actually only taken more than 2 threes in a game three times this year. In one of those games (ND) he was 2-5 and dropped 16 points. He was 0-3 the next game against Alabama so it kind of makes sense that he came out firing a bit there following the prior game. The only other game was Merrimack where he was 1-3. Actually, he only even attempted more than one pointer in three other games. OSU (he was 2-2 so can’t be upset about those shots), he was 1-2 against Wisconsin, and the only time he was 0-2 was Princeton. I wouldn’t call taking one 3 a game on 23 mpg anything close to what you said.

3) Similar story on 2s. He’s only recorded 87 total shots on the season and 12 of them were in the ND game where he had a career day. He’s only averaging 5 shots in each of the other games in 23 mpg which seems like the right amount to keep a D honest (combined with being a threat to draw fouls),

I’m not saying he’s great - but he’s been far from awful all around. We’re not losing because of him. He wasn’t expected to be a good outside shooter.
You guys keep leaving out, worse that plays this many minutes..

Anyway, the results speak for themselves. If you want to rationalize shooting 22% from 3 this season isn’t bad bc he doesn’t shoot many, you can go ahead. At this point in the season, for someone who plays as much as he has, the percentages are the percentages. He should shoot zero 3s. By your logic, you would’ve been ok if Cliff shot 3-4 3s per game last year.
