Basketball Bailey shines, Rutgers Basketball struggles in loss to Indiana

[CERU00]

J Mike 53% from the line.
Could have been Simpson at 88%.
SMH

Mrs. Simpson, why are you still posting here?

 

[RutgersChow]

Robbie Hummel said what everyone already knows… it’s the ace and Dylan show which will unfortunately end in the big 10 tournament

Rest of the team has no pulse offesnsively

Sad we probably win this game with Dylan

We might have won without Pikiel.

 

[Corycord1]

The difference- second chance points and 3pt shooters. If Martini and Hayes can’t make 3s this team won’t make the tournament (big10 tournament).

 

[Jerseylegends]

Losing by one is the same as losing by 50. Loser mentality.

What are you talking about? What's your point? He smiles all the time, that's his personality. He's a goofy, happy go lucky kid. He's not one of those rah rah guys or tough guys on the court.

 

[G- RUnit]

Davis’ FTs are the least of our problems. He was 3 of 4 from the line this game by the way.

Yep!! Prevented his best bud from scoring 40 at Indy.

Glad we got rid of Simpson for that!

two lottery picks and don’t make your conference tournament. That would have be to be a first.

 

[RocktheRac]

Martini 0 points

He has 4 .......wait those were fouls

 

[socaldave]

And a coach to coach them!
The coach is the biggest problem on this team, as bad as the players perform it’s up to the coach to scheme, and get what he can out of his players
That ain’t happening with Pike, the players he has are performing worse than the were before they got here.
Pitino would have a different result with the same players
His teams are terrible to watch have been for a while.

The way Williams is playing and how he played tonight IMO is a manifestation of Pikes coaching.
Thoughtless undisciplined, unprepared, desperate, out of his mind!

 

[Mr Magoo]

Martini 0 points

He should be a walk-on

We sure were making the Big Ten tournament???

 

[RocktheRac]

WTF with the lens the peacock uses both game interview makes it look like the player ore at the fun house morrors

 

[Jerseylegends]

But he’s so much better than Simpson and a good teammate for Ace! Lol!

Bro, how old are you? Are you in highschool? I guess Simpson would fit in with the rest of this supporting cast though lol..

 

[bethlehemfan]

I want him to care as much as guys in an over 30 league would. No one is happy when losing in gyms all over the world, except the ones where guys are getting paid well.

He gave his all they lost. Lol. He scored 38 in alumni hall. The game was over. Guys were jawing back and forth. I don’t see an issue there. Rec league haha.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Funny we don’t shoot 14-23 at the line, maybe we win.

I never felt we could win tonight even if we got closer because in a crunch they would just get it down to Ballo in the paint and score with him or on a kickout or after a rebound.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Yep!! Prevented his best bud from scoring 40 at Indy.

Glad we got rid of Simpson for that!

You really are a moron. Do you honestly think we’d be a much better team with Simpson vs Davis? Perhaps we’d be a little better maybe.

 

[RuSnp]

Welp.... start Lathan.

 

[SBP]

He's always smiling. Calm down..

JWill more.

 

[RUChoppin]

With the postseason basically out of reach, we should move Martini and Hayes to the practice squad and roll with Grant and Dortch.

Bold of you to assume we'll be in the big ten tournament

 

[Jerseylegends]

Everyone is negative again lol...let me log off, these guys will win some games you don't expect them to because Ace is a problem. Watch and see

 

[RUChoppin]

Some games, yes. Enough games... That's the real trick

Yeah that guy just sounds like a dumbass. Ace has a goofy personality. Nobody can question if he wants to win or plays hard. He's the only reason this game was close.

See you guys on Monday.

His teams are terrible to watch have been for a while.

These kids wouldn’t be on the team if Rick was here. That includes Ace and especially Dylan. Ain’t no way… or they would have went to St John’s they got tons of $

 

[RUBlackout]

Especially when their backup was in. He cooked him and we never went back to it.
Lathan should have been part of the gameplan without Dylan

Issue is we don’t have a gameplan.

 

[King of S]

is this team trying to make the tournament or just playing for personal stats?

No tournament this year.

 

[RutgersChow]

The difference- second chance points and 3pt shooters. If Martini and Hayes can’t make 3s this team won’t make the tournament (big10 tournament).

The difference is the guys sitting closest to the scorer's table and not in uniform. If this team ends up near the bottom of the Big 10, Pike must be let go, no matter what the buyout. Whatever it is he built, he's been tearing it down for several years.

 

[JCin128]

This team is not very good at all. Sucks to watch two individual talents drag the team with them, but that is now RU BB. Take one star out of the game and impossible for just one to drag the rest along. Rest of the season will be watching two stars display talent through continued losses until they have put enough film to shut it down. What ever the reason, there was not enough additional $$$ to support the superstars brought on board to support a full roster. We have what we have and will have to roll with that for the remainder of the year, and years to come. And how the F…. Do we suck at FT every F….g year.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

As crazy as it sounds, we might’ve missed Dylan’s rebounding and perimeter D more than his offense in this game.

 

[socaldave]

Wonderful to watch ACE tonight
I would rather have a well coached team that makes the dance, like Princeton or even St Peters
Pike ain’t that. He should have been on the phone with Pitino all summer or going to some coaching clinics or even watching some YouTube videos, maybe even hire Harper Sr to coach the triangle
Glad he recruited these guys, and watching him coach them is hurting my eyes.

 

[greenknight]

Lol you’re clueless dude

I may be clueless but I know basketball and everyone on defense sucks. We suck man to man, we suck zone, we dont press & dont board. Our footwork on defense is awful. We are always flying out at players because we are always late tonthe ball.

We are NOT going to win many games with 2 guys shooting 75% of the shots. AB had a tremendous offensive game outside of FT's and will be an awesome pro but me myself I would not want to play on a team where someone on my team just took 30 shots. If you are not part of the offense or offensive flow it will affect your effort on defense (see above). There is ZERO team out there ZERO. We have no concern about involving the other 3 guys on the floor in the offense so when they do touch the ball they force shots & force the play. Its game 14 and guys are regressing and that is because they are not part of the offense. Guys are now not even out there long enough to even be part of the offense . I'm only calling it like I see it my man

AAU ball sucks. It sucks in AAU and us even worse when it is at the college level

Pike just looks like another fan out there with better seats.
Just claps all game and I’m just not seeing the coaching or adjustments. Even his use of TOs at the end of the game wasn’t good

Truly sad to see what’s going on

 

[Scangg]

I refuse to believe that Grant isn't an upgrade over Martini

Martini is now barely hitting the rim and airballing 3's and flopping all over the ground. He is overwhelmed physically and mentally shot. Zero confidence

 

[BG1973]

Until the team starts rebounding we will continue to lose games. Nothing else will matter if we don’t rebound.

Yep. What I have been watching is not a TEAM.

Who do you blame for that? Only person to point to is the coach

 

[G- RUnit]

You really are a moron. Do you honestly think we’d be a much better team with Simpson vs Davis? Perhaps we’d be a little better maybe.

Who knows?
But what I do know….

So far better than JMike, JWill, Derkack, Martini, Acuff and PJ.
Pike might have some ‘splaining…

Foul shooting alone worth to keep. 14-23.
Know he hustled, played great D and nice assist to turnover ratio. You don’t think we could use that plus intangibles?
Also know he d be best foul shooter on the team.

Tell me I’m wrong. Mic drop.

 

[RUBlackout]

Martini is now barely hitting the rim and airballing 3's and flopping all over the ground. He is overwhelmed physically and mentally shot. Zero confidence

And in this day and age..no guarantee and player will stay the following year so why. Not use him or Dortch????? Rather they play as much higher rated recruits as freshman than the senior laden misfits playing now.

Until the team starts rebounding we will continue to lose games. Nothing else will matter if we don’t rebound.

Correct. Just watch most of our helpside rotation and lack of boxing out as to why we are getting crushed in the boards. ZERO fundamentals

I’m so fed up watching this coaching

Heck I think Somerville would be better shooting 3s at this point. Martini has the yips. It’s in his head.

Do know better foul shooter.

Why are we still talking about Simpson….dod he even want to stay here? Worst shooter in all of college basketball last year

 

[Simce91]

With the postseason basically out of reach, we should move Martini and Hayes to the practice squad and roll with Grant and Dortch.

anyone else concerned that these 2 will enter the portal at the end of the year as others have speculated with Sommerville

RU realistically could have Derkack as the only returning scholly player
