50 year fan. 1st game at barn as a kid in ‘74/5 and now…

So sad the Trapezoid of Horror or Terror … is no more. I sit in Section 105 and the fans around me sit there like propped up corpses. Maybe I embellish a bit, but the point is this Coach F’d Up a good thing. This year is a bitter disappointment and embarassment. I am already dreading going to games next year …. but I will.
I’m in 105….as well , and people don’t yell or cheer nearly as much

Some of that is the number of people around me who sell ….is at least in the one third range,

Anyone who thinks we are selling out club seats for the RAC needs to pay attention to the number of people who actually goes to the games . Be a disaster and not the revenue cow sone think it will be

As for me…I’ve been at the RAC as a kid since 1977-1978…..I’m just used to this

But I really do think this is now a program that can win.

pike needs to go back to recruting and retention. We have a been a club team for the past two years with the mass roster turnover and it has to stop

Pike Muat keep Jmike , Derkack , Somerville, grant and Dortch . Must . Need to start with ther with a foundation .

Then for the year after …add the four frosh …that’s 8 that can return and he has to keep at least 6 of the 8….and go out and sign another 4-5 man class with 2-3 top 150 kids .

class of 2026 is going to be huge …if he turns in a dud …the program isn’t gojng to climb out of the bottom third anytime soon

It’s program building almost from scratch and this is year one. Three years of classes with only Jmike left wrecked the original foundation of the program

It’s what I see….and there is a lot of work to be done

Season Tickets

I enjoyed last season more. Lack of defense bothers me. Id rather watch Oskar and Simpson over Ace and Dylan. Thats just me.
I understand what you’re saying but imo it’s kind of poor form to call out Bailey and Harper. I know you’re not necessarily doing that. I’m guilty of roasting Dylan for iowa and maybe he wasn’t 100% I don’t know but in general freshman even superbly talented ones are going to hit a wall and aren’t going to be able to finish games consistent against 22 and 23 year old men. Baileys effort has definitely improved significantly. I think Harper’s has issues with his health. Whatever it is I think we should reign in the criticism. Just my opinion.

Pike in the Film Room

One of my major complaints about Pike not running an offense. He runs a Horns set and when that does not work just wing it.
The horns set is actually effective when used properly. It should allow for spacing, but the way Pikiell or Brandin Knight teach it, the F and C never seem to cut hard enough for the guard after seeing the screen where the guard either drives or dishes to a cutting big man or pass ro one of our wings for an open look.

Our set always seems to bottleneck and/or the defenders clog the space and the guard just dribbles around looking to pass out of it. Personally, I’ve seen it work to perfection, but not with us. Give me a motion offense like McCaffery any day of the week.
