Come on man.

I’m not throwing shade at the kid. There’s guys who can go out and play injured and make it work and there’s guys who can’t. Dylan is not a guy who does well when he’s sick or dinged up.

He’s a great player but playing at less than 100% isn’t his thing.

Did you watch PJ when he was on the court ?

Surprised he got as many minutes as he did

When an opportunity to grab a loose ball came his way, he did as little as possible to secure it

I was at the Seton Hall game which was as close as it gets and it didn’t seem close to the enthusiasm of other Seton Hall games at the RAC. Perhaps because SHU was supposed to suck. This team is a little harder to get behind IMO.

The passion is there on a game by game basis, depending on how close we are in the game, and who the opponent is

It is always that way

PJ parks in the corner with his hands out looking for a pass, he makes no attempt on his own to get open for a shot

To that point, isn't he currently also 1-12

Or stop allowing Izzo to not have to bring his Spartans to the RAC. If we continue to play at MSG, have other B1G teams play us.

My OP didn’t question his toughness and this thread is about getting him 100 percent for a run in the tournament.

Can we run a set for PJ so he can at least jack one up?

What’s embarrassing is not knowing your player well enough to sit him when he’s not healthy and not contributing.

MSU is a very good team.

I thought we had a lot of low percentage layups/drives. I didn't see a lot of missed bunnies.

You play PJ but the guy doesn't get any looks? Odd. He shouldn't be on the court if he is not getting at least 4-5 shots.

1. We can’t win a game with Dylan hobbled and ineffective and Ace shooting 4-17. Period.

2. Shout out to Derkack for playing a great game with 26 points on 7-11 from the floor overall, 4-7 from deep, and 8-9 on FTs.

3. Too bad he got no help from Martini (0-5) or Acuff (1-6) or JWill (a quiet 4 points).

4. We just couldn’t hit the ocean from the boat today, shooting a horrendous 23-68 for 33.8% overall from the field. And a TON of the misses were on point blank layups and shots at the rim. Absolutely gut wrenching to watch shot after shot roll off the rim.

5. I actually thought the defense played pretty well today, but MSU is soooo patient that they were able to get decent looks even late in the shot clock.

6. MSU goes a legit 10 deep and there’s little drop off. Big, athletic, with skilled guards and high flying wings. They’re a contender, but their lack of 3-pt shooting will ultimately be their downfall.

7. The season is effectively over, as we’re not going to win 9 of the next 11 games without Ogbole and with a hobbled Dylan Harper. Best we can hope for now is actually making the Big Ten Tournament.

8. Not gonna lie, I’m just despondent over how this promising season basically crashed on takeoff. It’s really hard being a Rutgers fan…

I just think his shooting stroke is so bad, it doesn’t look smooth/comfortable at all.

Did Hayes have one 3PA today?

I actually genuinely felt bad for him today. The effort was there. The defense and rebounding was decent. But the shooting was so bad I couldn't believe it. They weren't even guarding him.

We had a good number of open 3's, but we're were ice cold.

Martini just seems so reluctant to shoot. He rarely seems ready or in a good position. He had so many open looks that he had no choice but to shoot. Same thing with PJ. 3 point shooters have to hunt for shots.
