RAPID REACTION - Iowa

They’ve been doing that silly inbounds pass to the backcourt a lot this season. Fran clearly saw it on tape and figured out how to exploit it
I don’t understand how you can’t not only inbound the ball but get a good look. Standing around three straight times is inexcusable and may have been the difference in this game. You can’t piss away opportunities.

Kevin Willard surrounded his 5-star freshman center with three OUTSTANDING two-way guards who can both score and defend. Maryland will be a 6 seed.

Pike surrounded his two 5-star freshmen with a bunch of unathletic players who all have severe flaws. Rutgers will be watching March Madness from home and won’t even make the other tournaments.

This season has been an utter abomination, and Pike won’t survive it ultimately.
Fvcking clapping . His motivation. Maybe he needs some pom poms.

Absolutely embarrassing effort.

Stick a fork in this team.

Fvcking garbage.
Typically you provide detailed and accurate analysis. I completely don’t blame you for only posting this as the recap. Says it all. The effort (or lack of) was totally unacceptable, shocking that Dylan was also one of those who displayed no effort, have not seen that from him and it was a little shocking coming from him. The Iowa point guard had twice the intensity of Dylan.

Pike outcoached. Again. Disgusted.

It's a harsh thing to say, and I didn't want to believe it, but after tonight, it's pretty obvious.

What is driving them? They are here because they have to be. They are millionaires already and about to sign for tens of million more. Winning this game means little to them. None of that is going to change whether they win lose or draw.

This is a short six month blip in their lives on the way to what will likely be long careers in pro basketball. Would have been great if it worked but it's not a problem that it didn't. Nothing changes.

Too much, too fast can kill peoples drive to excel.
Contrast that with a guy like Sanfordt...the college ball experience is everything for him and has to work hard on his stock to make the nba

To all the doom and gloomers and naysayers...

You were, apparently, correct.

I don't know if I saw "QUIT" or "INCOMPETENCE" in that game.. perhaps both... including Pike.

If that were the first game of teh season I might complain about how they did not use the preseason properly.. but it is the middle of February.

To not know how to inbound the ball? 3 turnovers at least.. including the 5-second call which seemed a little bogus.. but still.

Our O seemed to call on 1 on 1 drives but the stars were incapable, mostly. Both seem hurt in one way or another.. so why keep calling on them as if they are 100%?

A better Rutgers team must show up or they may as well write off the Big Ten Tourney.. never mind any kind of postseason. And if that happens.. how can Pike keep his job with 2 NBA lottery picks on the roster? That is a complete reversal of opinion on my part because this game was just that bad.
The 3 inbounds is my trigger.

Fire Steve Pikiell

We don't have an AD because our AD was banging the gymnastics coach. That's not exactly commonplace outside of Rutgers. Our issues run deep
True, Pat was dipping his pen in the University ink, so to speak. Who knows how many things he was asleep at the wheel with while he was running around playing grab ass.
