Unrecoverable
On the heels of a listless gutless peformance at the RAC vs an undermanned Iowa, Rutgers follows it up by waving the white flag before the midway point in the 2nd half at Oregon. A second consecutive game where the game announcers called out the Rutgers focus, seriousness and effort. A terrible indictment for these players but for the coaching staff as well. A second straight no show from the so called vaunted NBA stars who have looked INCREDIBLY ORDINARY of late if they can even stay on the floor. Go ahead and cash out because there is nothing for them here as if getting Rutgers to the NCAA tournament was more than a sidegoal to why they were here. 9-27 fg from the 2 stars...omg are you kidding me...that is so embarrassing for everyone involved in this.
I was wrong a couple of games when I said this team was starting to become likable.....no I should not have been fooled. LEAST LIKABLE TEAM I HAVE FOLLOWED EVER AT RUTGERS....and there have been some atrocious teams with bad atttitudes. None ever had this much talent leave a worse mark on the program than when they came in. The warning signs were there all along. It was easy to try and avoid them early but the issues with this team,coaches, lineup and recruitiment were beyond anyones belief
A sad ending to any relevant Pikiell era which was such a great ride up and now such a bitter pratfall off the stage into an abyss full of derision and a laughter
