Anyone read the email that came out this morning with season ticket prices for 2025? While the seat and donation prices stayed the same, this time around sales tax is added on (in prior years it was included in the seat price). So, we will be paying 6.625% more out of pocket.

Sneaky!

Funny how there is an explanation stating that Rutgers previously covered the sales tax.

I call BS. Including it in the price is not covering it.

Agreed 100%. I just don't see the defensive prowess many like to attribute to JMike. Sadly on his one drive, as soon as he made his cut I just knew that it wasn't going to end well.

I also think Pike's constant substitution pattern is hurting way more than in years past. The constant player rotation has prevented Sommerville, Grant and even Dercack from being able to get into any rhythm to develop their confidence. I still can't imagine how Grant could possibly have been that poor in practice to get buried on the bench for the better part of this season.

As I have previously posted , I was lucky enough to be invited to 2 preseason practices in early and mid October. Grant was really good in practice. We were playing against zone since they assumed teams could not handle Dylan or ACE one on one , and ACE was finding Grant cutting in from the corner for dunks. Grant was aggressive going to the hole and also shooting threes. If I am not mistaken he won player of the week for the 5-6 practice weeks at full go. I expected him to be a crucial player in the rotation.
I was shocked he put him in cold against Texas A&M but even more shocked he sat him as a Coaches Decision “ DNP” for all those games thereafter. One of Pike’s mistakes this year.

Amazing. It is one thing to be bitterly disappointed with how the season has played out and we are sitting at 10-10. I am not going to debate the reasons , Dylan’s health , Pike ‘s disastrous portal transfers , several players severely underperforming , etc.
But last I checked our 4 recruits have all signed and are coming. Pike just signed a fab 5 class this year. 2 of them are Dylan and ACE and they are extremely likely to be 2 of the top picks or top 5 picks in the NBA draft.
The RAC has been hosting sellout crowds . We showed up with 17,000 at MSG. I was in Vegas , pretty sure you were not , and Rutgers had by far the largest crowd and support of all the teams and that was during Thanksgiving week if you forgot.
Get some perspective.
Everyone , me , you , every diehard and every casual fan is bitterly pissed off and disappointed in how things have turned out . But that is different than the program that is well respected nationally and by the BIG 10 conference and by the BIG 10 coaches. It shouldn’t be that hard for you to understand.

The disappointment in JWill is just another reminder of the list of things discussed prior to the season, if any of the points had turned out to be true, the season could have been entirely different up till now. We didn't need all to turn out true, just really one of them.

Harper/Bailey - Being a dynamic duo, instead we've either have had only 1 available or if playing together, only one seems to be dynamic.

JWill - Veteran leadership and a 3rd scoring option. All we heard about is all summer long was how he stayed on campus and just spent it in the gym. He didn't have to be 20pt a game player, even just a 10pt a game steady veteran leader.

Transfers - If just one, just one, lived up to the stats on paper, could be entirely different. And Acuff didn't need to be leading scorer, maybe 6 pts again, some key 3's at the right time, Martini didn't need to be leading in any stats, but just veteran high IQ leadership, with providing some consistent scoring, even just 6 to 8 pts a game and some key defense at times.

Great recap but disagree in a few spots. Pike in the second half went with Martini and JMike and took Grant off the floor after he hit a 3 for 8-10 minutes. He didn’t play Dortch in the second half as his potential shot blocking and rebounding would have helped. Taking Dylan Grant off the floor was ludicrous.
Everyone is giving Jmike a pass defensively probably because our whole team is challenged but I think his defense has been terrible. He doesn’t disrupt the other team’s point guard. He never gets in their grill, he gets screened all the time and never fights over screens hard enough. He did the same against Princeton allowing Martini to get switched on Lee 3 straight times( Pike’s mistake as well). Offensively , Jmike was terrible , once again bringing his old habit of driving thru trees and it ends up being swatted leading to MSU fast break and score. He had one put back layup on an offensive rebound but that was the extent of the contribution. Did not deserve his minutes.

Thought Pike should have gone to a 2 man game with ACE and Lathan to get ACE an easier look on a pick and pop or just some more room for his jumper. Might not have made a difference since he was just off but MSU did not give him anything easy and Pike could have designed some stuff to make it easier. Pike besides taking Dylan Grant out of the game in the second half right after he hit a 3 , also took Lathan out after he made a nice post move and layup. He does this repeatedly and it drives me nuts. Lathan finally got some rhythm and he gets pulled. He was put back in the game later but momentum was lost. Lathan is capable of hitting that mid range shot consistently and capable of hitting the 3’s but did not yesterday. I am not killing him for taking those shots as all of them were open.
The disappointment with Jeremiah is beyond. His reckless totally out of control drive that he missed off the backboard badly , led to MSU runout and Adkin’s 3 for a crucial 5 point swing. He plays with low IQ for a captain and a senior , who we needed badly and came up so so short.
