Basketball Freshmen struggle as Rutgers falls to Wisconsin for first home loss
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Another choke. And a criminal coaching job by Pike. Again. And Bailey forgetting that he’s a part of a team. Grant should have been playing a hell of a lot more than this.
Coulda, should, woulda is meaningless. The program is regressing under Pikiell.
Only path I see to the tournament right now is figuring the team out by March and winning the B1G tournament. No guarantee we qualify for that, though.
Well Martini comes from a system offense of moving w/o ball back door cuts to a team that just plays 1v1 and chucks it. He is out of his element. All you have to us watch anything other than person w/o the ball and you will see how awkwardly out of place guys are. 2 guys running to same corner, 2 guys setting pick on same guy. This offense sucks. Have we ever hit someone cutting to the basket w/o the ball.
Again down points and we do not press AT ALL
There is not anywhere the amount of time on clock to win. We should have been pressing at least 5 minutes
The way Pike has handled Dylan's illness from letting him sit on the bench at Indiana to allowing him to go to the women's game last night is just another example of the piss poor job he does - not that we need another example
Wisco every year are very basketball smart not best players but that coach gets the most out of them unlike Pike
Team is so undisciplined!! Someone like Dercack and Jwill going full steam head down to the basket with no purpose.
This University frustrates the shit out of me as we have no president or AD and bad coaches

Even if Pike finds some miracle elixir it will likely be too little too late. There was some good tinkering with the rotation tonight but still didn’t produce a win. It is beginning to feel too little too late already.
Off night for Bailey 3-16 is the story. With no Dylan hard to win.
True, but on the bright side we saw the emergence of Acuff and Grant. Could help us thread the needle and pile up some wins when Harper comes back.
What did you want Pike to do?
Dylan barely played and did nothing still sick
Ace has the worst game of his life
“Allowing him to go to the women’s game” like Pike controls his every move lol.
Come on dude…
Just another loss. Season is over before mid January
That requires us to actually win some games and make the B1G tournament
Pikiell and staff signature coaching. Offense is only iso-ball. Watching Wisconsin move the ball and have players driving and cutting was a thing of beauty.
Mind boggling. Like this year ugh. I’ve never said a bad word but jeez it’s bad
Rutgers had so many chances to take the lead but they would then go into a scoring drought allowing Wisconsin to maintain a 4-6 point lead.Bailey worse game of the season when they needed him to score at least 30 points.Rutgers simply has too many players that can't shoot.The loss of Harper the last two games were heart breaking because he is a difference maker on the court.Wisconsin is well coached as seen by the number of easy uncontested layups.Its January 6,2025 and Rutgers has a 8-7 record.
5 of the 6 highest scorers for Wisconsin have been there at least a full season before this one. Continuity matters.
We may go 0-3 over this key three game homestand. Braden Smith may come in and carve us up and UCLA may stifle us with their defense.
Wow, Dercack. Just arbitrarily shoot a three because you're open. There is a reason why you're open. You can't shoot.
Let's see. After Year 8, recruit an effective roster, have an offensive and defensive system and identify everyone must buy into and play, and instill discipline that appears to be lacking in the program.
Got tied up with a work call and just checked the box score. He has 17 points. Nobody else in double digits. Why pick on Acuff? Maybe he's injured still. Nobody else you want to pick on?
