Sit Dylan

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

PSU coach played Ace Baldwin 40 mins the other day with back spasms. Ace was on board to endure the punishment and coach knew he could count on him.

To Zaps point, Pike needs to know what he has here. Playing Harper today was a waste for Pike and Dylan.

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.

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

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…

Your comment 8 is shared by many Rutgers fans,High preseason hopes and utter disappointment as the season has progressed.I can't even say that I saw Harper show enough of his magic on the court because of the flu and ankle sprain.

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.

Not really sure how he got dubbed a shooter on this team. Hes not. He sometimes will hit a wide open one where his feet are planted but can’t hit in transition, shoot off the dribble, shoot off of screens, shoot with a hand in his face. To be a good shooter you have to be able to do those things effectively and he can’t.

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.

Martini was chucking at will today firing a couple deeper 3's too

Derkack Ace Grant 8/16 from 3

Everyone else 1/14

30 three point attempts, Hayes 0 attempts

When asked if he was surprised or disappointed at the team’s .500 record at this point in the year after all of the expectations heading into the season, Pike immediately jumps to team GPA and making the tournament 3 years ago to defend himself. He also brought up the NIT year as if that wasn’t a total disaster of a season.

This program is completely doomed going forward if our administration and fan base allows him to underperform and make the same mistakes over and over again while pointing to past success to excuse it.

I had dinner last night at the Rutgers Club with your teammate Tim Grifa, Bob Wymbs and Scott Becker(who took your place when you graduated. At the other table was Tim Hennessy, Tom O’Rourke and Tim Anderson, all 1980’s guys. They told me stories about you. Grifa was a frosh when you were a senior. He wrestled 142 when you wrestled 150. You dropped down to 142 for the EIWA and bumped him from the lineup. The 158 guy dropped to 150 so Grifa sat the bench. Great night reminiscing.

So what the hell happened to him because he doesn't act or talk like someone who deserves respect ...disrespecting kids who wrestled here with class ...challenging parents to fights. Numerous conflicts in this forum where he acts like a total ass...I believe he is who you say he is but he has totally disrespected RU coaches and numerous alumni for years ...he was banned 3 times for a reason ...now says we are getting 4 PSU studs and 2 Iowa Suriano types and there is no way I believe you think that any of his fantasy is true. You see the way he responds to critics ...that's not the way champions talk ..

Was this season really ever “promising?”

Lots of hype - sure - but I could tell after the first week of games - team was severely overrated. So never brought into the hype.

Was the pre-season hype valid? Maybe - I mean 2 lottery players on a team is reason for optimism.

But I’ve been cautiously optimistic all fall - relying on 2 freshman to lead and carry your team - no matter how good they are, is dangerous.

To me - it’s much easier to accept we’re not good - cause I accepted that after week 1.
