Basketball Freshmen struggle as Rutgers falls to Wisconsin for first home loss

[RU Mike73]

Ace 3 of 14 and 2 of 6 FT. Feast or famine.

 

[RUChoppin]

I knew they eventually notice Wisky hasn't had any FTs and would have to rectify that

 

[RUisB1Gtime]

Dylan got sick at worst possible time.....We def could have beat Indiana and Wisconsin with him controlling the game

 

[greenknight]

Scumbag refs trying to get them in the bonus

How about not FOUL.

 

[SBP]

Lathan kick it out!!!

Never

 

[Scangg]

If we play with this effort and defense when Dylan is healthy and Ace isn't playing his worst game of the season we will be very tough to beat

Can we sustain this type of effort though?

There was a stretch we played better D and rebounded much better but then we reverted back to bad already this season

 

[RUby RED]

Pike “recruited” Martini probably without even knowing who he was and kept praying he’d produce.

Off the strength of one game

 

[bethlehemfan]

Wisconsin has much better players.

 

[greenknight]

3 point game until guys start taking out of control 1v1 chucks

 

[Luvscarletknights]

I saw Grant in Vegas and talked to him at the food court and he did not seem happy he wasnt getting minutes

Probably wanted to be like I dominate Martini every day in practice

I spoke with him at Subway and he seemed fine....LOL!!

 

[Simce91]

Grant only one crashing offensive board

Another reason that he should have been getting minutes before tonight

 

[RUChoppin]

How about not FOUL.

They've let a lot go all game. Incredibly loose whistle, which has largely been to our advantage.

 

[RAC93]

Dylan got sick at worst possible time.....We def could have beat Indiana and Wisconsin with him controlling the game

Also worst possible time to travel to Indiana while sick, and the worst time to go to a women’s game while you’re sick and trying to recover….that seems like an unforced error by the staff and Dylan if you ask me

 

[Mr Magoo]

Off the strength of one game

Yeah and the opponent was us…which tells you nothing .

 

[BOCA93]

You knew whistles would even out but Ace has had some weak calls against him this half.

 

[Scangg]

Pike “recruited” Martini probably without even knowing who he was and kept praying he’d produce.

Lol no. We played against Martini and he scored against us just like Noah

 

[Rokodesh]

How about not FOUL.

We're getting hammered all game with no calls

 

[rucoe89]

Derkack just gets abused driving to the basket.

 

[koleszar]

That'll do it. Team is done that small window for NCAA's is just about shut.

 

[newell138]

That’s a wrap

 

[bac2therac]

Oh well

Running out of real estate on the season

 

[RUDeac]

Pike should have played Acuff over Harper at the first place.

 

[FrankZ]

3-16 🤦‍♂️

 

[Scangg]

Wow replay clear foul on derkack before the block

 

[rucoe89]

Wisconsin putting on a ball movement clinic as they teach our players how you close out games.

 

[ru-baby]

Bully ball nec style not working in big

 

[RUby RED]

Dercack is a zero. Still hasn’t learned his limitations against high level comp

 

[Rokodesh]

Derkack has the lowest BB IQ of any player I've ever seen

 

[Plum Street]

Dercack had a rough 30 seconds

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

 

[RUinOhio]

It’s a total flop when you’re feet jump 8 inches off the ground

 

[RU MAN]

They get it down to three, and they all start to play hero ball instead of team ball. Ace can't buy a freakin' basket, and JayWill is dribbling all over the place and taking wild shots. Now we're down 12. So undisciplined.

 

[RUDeac]

#TakeAHikePike

 

[rucoe89]

We needed to go 2-2 in the early January stretch to have some hope to whiff the NCAAs. Over under that now?

 

[Rokodesh]

We win this game if Dylan is healthy.

 

[RUeric]

Was Derkack the tallest player in the NEC or something? He plays like he thinks he's bigger than everyone. And of course our joke of a coach doesn't curtail it.

 

[Scangg]

If only Ace had a solid game...

 

[RAC93]

If we play with this effort and defense when Dylan is healthy and Ace isn't playing his worst game of the season we will be very tough to beat

Can we sustain this type of effort though?

There was a stretch we played better D and rebounded much better but then we reverted back to bad already this season

I think it’s safe to say this team just doesn’t have it. Begin the debate as to who wins more game, last year or this year

 

[Joey Bags]

No way we get to 13 wins this year

 

[BOCA93]

Shame that they’re going to squander a good defensive effort this half. Rough game for both Ace and Harper to be non factors
