GAME 25: Iowa short recap

bac2therac
Been hit with a nasty flu Boy its not a joke but I will spit out some points here off the top of my head

Main takeway is that last night put to bed any of the notions that oh if they just were not hurt they would have x more amount of wins...no, this team is exactly what it is and not meant to be. Try not to get sucked in too much by the wins...there likely will be one coming in the future.

Team loves the underdog role more than being favorites. Team disrespected their opponents. They assumed at full strength they would win. Got up by 11 and then thought that would just continue in the 2nd half without working for anything.

To have to hear TV announcers and TV analysts talk about RU being non chalant in warmups is damning..pay attention.

Dix and Sanfordt....i would take 5 each of them on the my team. They were the best players on the court period...and its got to be a humbling lesson for Dylan and Ace how ordinary they looked last night

Pike says its 100% on him but I think its 100% on Ace/Dylan..you got to walk the walk if you are going to talk the talk and both pulled no shows.

The bench players were the best part of the night so kudos to Zak and J Mike and Acuff for stepping up.

Cant have a team that lacks leadership

I know I will get flak for this but many others will agree....Ace/Dylan have a years and years of money and NBA fame coming their way, this 5 month stay at Rutgers is just a pimple on their life course. They are competitors though clearly last night they were not, their goal is hardly NCAA tournament appearances, their immediate goals are making it healthy to NBA workout season.

RU could have had Fran back in 2010 if Pernetti just fired Hill at the conclusion of the season like a normal coach would do. Who knows what would have happened but Pernetti likely still to be AD here.

Pikes resume does not come to close to Frans...Fran won a Big 10 tournament.....Pikiells teams are terrible in Big 10 tourney save for his first year where they still only made the quarters.

the RAC has a top home court is over with. Last season it was perfectly on was 2020. Sure we had the Purdue win a couple years later and that season was pretty good at the RAC but all the blue hair wistfully remeniscing about the RAC from the 80s and 90s and 2000s...that is gone and it aint coming back. The incessent use of noise and t shirt tosses has turned into an irritating spectacle. The students have to be the lamest as a group that I have ever seen. There is some ridiculous number that RU has lost like 13 of 21 rac league games..is this accurate.

damn you Pat Hobbs, he should be in jail for the extension and money he handed out

unless Pike leaves on his own, he is here two more years and maybe more but will the fanbase already have checked out.

Last weekend my wife and I left the 4 walls of Sussex County and headed to the Zimmerli to take in a new exhibit.
I decided to get off I287 via River road and pulled off in front if the Stadium and stared at the entrance and upper deck for a minute

My wife told me that this crazy behavior

Not crazy at all, unless you pleasured yourself, which would have crossed the line.

I am not so certain Dylan is going to be taken in the Top 3 any more.

They both should still go top three.

Put it this way . . . if you put any other combination of two freshman in all of college basketball on RU (besides Cooper Flagg and MAYBE Derik Queen), I can almost guarantee they wouldn't be as productive as Ace and Dylan given the current supporting cast and coaching staff.

Agree with both of you!

Is the emotion worth the donation?
Do we believe Pike is that guy if given the money to change that emotion?

No.

Why throw good money at bad situations? It’s like a falling knife stock

So true we have people that live on this board and spend multiple hours a day everyday here and they are the biggest bashers and non participants when it comes to helping the team with anything but an opinion. Look at BAC after every game he spends hours of his life writing a 10 paragraph on the game and he has never donated ask him he will tell you. The game threads he is one of the biggest basher of the team and players. He would rather die than donate a dime. He should be the first to donate because all of his friends are from this board. That’s not bashing that’s the truth and others are the same way.

You have no idea what people donate on here so STFU!! I donate a scholarship to women’s soccer and that’s on top of my required donations for football and basketball. That was the highest area of need for RU and where I put my money to help. It helps overall and I’ve never been to a soccer game of any type at RU.
People should stop telling people how they should be spending THEIR money!!
People have lives and more important responsibilities than paying players to play a sport. The point about Pro sports is that their salaries are funded through revenue. Yes they get paid for their brands on top of that but it’s not a pay for play model which is what is being suggested here and happening across college.

I will pay $10k to never see a RutgersAl post telling people we need a field house and fundraising efforts appreciate the passion in being a fan but it’s a bad look when the next message is how we are going to the playoffs and winning a NC.

Next month starts Free Agency, or the transfer portal, or whatever you want to call it, and Pike needs all the resources he can get. We need impact players, not schlubs who take up space. Impact players cost 💲, which we don’t have enough of. Maryland fans ponied up and the majority of their scoring is from transfers.

Maryland Transfers Point totals From Rutgers Game
Rodney Rice- transfer from VT - 19 pts
Selton Miguel - transfer from South Florida - 17 pts
Ja’ Kobi Gillespie - transfer from Belmont - 14 pts

Our transfers are not contributing enough because we chose from the bargain bin. They are too inconsistent. The performance on Court is a reflection of our support or lack thereof and We are reaping what we sowed.

I knew we were F’d as soon as we lost Cliff. Only to watch him languish on the bench. This year, we must hold on to Somerville, and add the appropriate complementary players. Get the right players and we can get back to the tournament next year.

OT: Minor Snowfall for Most (except moderate N of 80 towards 84 w/some icing) Sat (2/15) pm, Followed by Heavy Rain for Everyone

If the snow is mixed in with the rain Saturday afternoon there is zero chance of anything sticking on anything. Temps aren't going below 35 degrees in Philly or Trenton.

Agreed, I'd be very surprised to see much if any accumulating snow south of 276/195 and even north of there to about 78, borderline temps without heavy rates during daylight will make snow accumulation difficult, except on colder surfaces.

Experiencing the bench up close

Captains
-> one laughed and joked around and even sat by himself during timeouts (one time due to being hurt)
-> one barely said a word to anyone on the bench and sat quietly in between people

I’ll give Pike credit he goes up and down the bench trying to get people fired up and keep them engaged.
You can guess above which people in referring to
