Basketball Defensive struggles doom Rutgers Basketball as it falls to Ohio State 80-66

This season is going to give us a real understanding of whether our coaches are B1G material. That includes our head coach. No more talent excuses. You have enough talent to win. But if you can't get it done, the new AD will hopefully take corrective action.
Dylan Harper with the NBA fast break finish I LOVE IT
I do question if Pike knows how to coach a team with elite talent. I mean this team has a very high likelihood of ending the season with a losing overall record based on performance to date.
With the decisions some of the players are making, you can just tell there are no consequences from the coaching staff. Just do whatever you want out their because your minutes won't get cut, you won't get yelled at.
Ace has been bad today, 2nd half can only be better
Horrible first half. Dylan needs to take over. Too many easy baskets. Also Ohio state got away with 8 second violation on in bounds but would expect nothing less.
Rule number 1 take Richie’s preseason assessment with a grain of salt. I’ve been got too many years in a row now
Now this I agree with. Certain players need to be held accountable on this team and be reigned in
the team is garbage. Maybe we’ll grow as the season progresses, but we are a sub 500 team right now that won’t sniff any tourney.
Pike isn’t coaching, might as well get rid of him now.
Dylan’s play at the end was key. Swung it from a potential 12 or 13-point deficit to a very manageable 8-points. Big play there.
He simply doesn’t get good enough players in the portal. Period end of story
We are only down 8 with Dylan and Ace a combined 8 points.
It’s actually a good sign. Dylan will get his in the second half. I’d make that wager.
They're only two members of the team that I consider star players. The rest of the supporting cast has no clue what is going on. At least the coaching staff not being able to coach cuz they don't even know what they have
Agreed. Seeing that ball going right before the half is huge.
If Pike doesn't get this team to start playing better and quick, it will be the beginning of the end for him. He will have used up all the goodwill he has built up over previous seasons with these last two.
Well that was worse than I anticipated. I expect a fake run and a loss by 10
What?
They’re the best 3pt shooting team in the league and they’re only 36% from 3 in the 1st half. We are an atrocious defensive team — don’t know why you think they can’t keep this pace
Wasted season. Two top one and done freshmen and nothing to show for it
i wasn’t expecting a blowout but thought that we’d win comfortably. Headed for a bust of a season if we lose this game.
