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

[RUby RED]

The best defense we saw all year came in that St John’s exhibition late in the 1st half. Haven’t seen anywhere near that fight since

 

[RAC93]

Are we going to start having debates on here as to which team was better, last year’s or this year’s? Lord I hope not.

 

[#1 RUFan]

Sorry to say, the team doesn't look to be responding to Pike in the huddle. They look tuned out.

 

[Joey Bags]

Agreed he’s still sick obviously

Some of the bugs going around right now really ****ing suck and will put people in great shape on their ass for a week or two

 

[Scangg]

Martini really earning his minutes out there

He's the anti stat stuffer

#FreeGrant

 

[ScottRU93]

Pike had an opportunity to take this program to new heights instead he belly flopped like a 450 lb Fat Ass off a high dive

 

[newell138]

Ace is being defended very well by Wisky

With Harper out no one else to key on

 

[bac2therac]

Wisconsin so confident they are on the court halfway into timeout

 

[RUBlackout]

This is embarrassing to watch

Pike is lost as a coach. Martini hasn’t added a single stat. Jmike unplayable.

NO accountability.

We need new basketball coaches in kens and womens

 

[ScarletKid2008]

This team in theory brought in a bunch of 3 point shooters but it's been bricks

This is the game Hayes. The open 3's are there

That is exactly what the deadly miscalculation of what this entire disappointment was built on.

The transfers were supposed to have practice level 3s all day and be making them. They’re not making them.

Martini really earning his minutes out there

#FreeGrant

No idea how he plays D1 basketball. Legit trash.

 

[RUDeac]

Team is dead. Rac is dead.

 

[RUsojo]

Wisconsin not even playing well

 

[Mr Magoo]

This team in theory brought in a bunch of 3 point shooters but it's been bricks

This is the game Hayes. The open 3's are there

3 point shooters in lower level leagues and on teams who ran an offense

 

[Rutgers25]

Pike needs to go. Garbage coach that is wasting 2 top 5 picks.

He’s completely destroyed everything he built

 

[Saint Puppy]

Take note Rutgers - Wisconsin is what a real team that plays as a team looks like. We play as a team that plays like we just showed up at the playground and put a bunch of randoms together.

 

[Mholinko]

Are we going to start having debates on here as to which team was better, last year’s or this year’s? Lord I hope not.

yes and last years team would probably win right now because they were still a top 10 defense nationally

 

[Scangg]

Dylan sick. Ace off and now in foul trouble

Why not at least try to let Lathan cook?

 

[koleszar]

You can just see a gameplan and designed plays vs ??? whatever it is we do.

 

[FrankZ]

7 feet tall and back end rim’s a layup 🤦‍♂️

 

[bac2therac]

Gard is doing a wonderful job at Wisconsin mixing old and new

 

[RutgersMC]

This is an unfortunate preview of what next year's team is going to look like.

 

[kt124]

some of our fans will say Pike just didnt have enough NIL to work with, but I guarantee Acuff, Hayes, and Martini didn’t come here for free. Pike just didn’t pursue or land the right players.

 

[newell138]

Lol

 

[RutgersChow]

The question is not whether Pike is good or bad, its becoming whether or not he is even competent, at least at this point in the season. Wisconsin giving RU a lesson on how to utilize the bounce pass.

 

[bac2therac]

Pike saving Ace for 2nd half should be immediately fired

 

[socaldave]

Just bad

 

[pd10124]

This supporting cast is just embarrassing

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Worst Rutgers team in many years

 

[RAC93]

Acuff is dominating on offense

 

[kt124]

Worst Rutgers team in many years

with two top 5 nba draft picks

 

[bac2therac]

Men vs boyz

 

[Rutgers25]

Gard is doing a wonderful job at Wisconsin mixing old and new

Pike is the worst coach in the big ten. Don’t think it’s close

 

[Simce91]

A Dylan Grant sighting

 

[bac2therac]

If only Dylan Grant

 

[RUby RED]

This is an unfortunate preview of what next year's team is going to look like.

Next years team wouldn’t even be a top half A10 team

 

[FrankZ]

Thankfully hoop went, because expensive throw brick was inevitable

 

[The RUT]

This is pretty pathetic tbh

 

[Scangg]

A little sign of life

Need more effort, intensity, sense of urgency, passion

 

[FinalFourOrBust]

Next years team wouldn’t even be a top half A10 team

Don’t worry I’m sure pike will find us some great transfers
