Basketball GAME THREAD: RHoops versus Nebraska (6:30pm)

[koleszar]

Don’t worry all the Pike apologists will be out telling us how great he is and where he has brought the program after the game and every will get a slap on the wrist.

Reality is, it’s all about what have you done lately and the answer is nothing. This team stinks, we have no big time recruits coming in, plan for future seems very suspect, and we didn’t capitalize on our momentum from past 2 years. We will be the worst team in the big 10 next year the way this is trending.

We've got great chemistry, it's all good.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

9 pts off TOs
9-11 FT
Nebraska 13 pts off sets, very @Maryland-esque, when Maryland only scored 7 off sets 1st half

 

[Scangg]

31-28

8-0 run.....and guess who was put back in...Mag

If Pike can get his head out of his ass with the lineup..Rutgers is going to win this game

Nebby is that bad

As shitty as we are..we win today

One player is clearly having a good game. Play him. Don't over think it.

Mag also plays hard defense and brings effort and intensity which all are the things Pike wants to see. Reward it

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

What is Geo doing?

Being Geo.

 

[rume]

another freakin scoring drought

It's not just the lack of scoring. They don't defend particularly well either.

 

[RUsojo]

Nebraska is awful we are only down 3 gotta pull this out

 

[ScarletteK80]

What is Geo doing?

You meant to say where is Geo?

 

[RedChucken123]

Cliff should consider using the backboard. He always seems like he’s throwing downward at the basket when he’s in the post.

 

[Knightmoves]

Other than Mag, 1st half box score not pretty for us.

[Corycord1]

Anybody’s guess what seed we will be??

21 seed

 

[Caliknight]

Pike has way too much invested in Geo and Ron. He’s centers too much around them at the expense of other players. Neither are that good where they deserve this much rope

 

[zebnatto]

Let it be known: Rutgers ran a really nice offensive play last possession of first half. Extraordinary.

 

[Shelby65]

How many guards do you ever see shoot them? Now look at our staff.

That’s a skill you develop on your own. Not the fault of coach height. Ridiculous

Sounds like the other BB team I follow.

 

[Scangg]

If he's not going to use any touch, go glass

 

[itsRtime]

We are picking on 30 haha can’t believe he plays. 8-0 run once he came back in

We are picking on 30 haha can’t believe he plays. 8-0 run once he came back in

He actually started the game at the RAC. My son and I couldn't believe it once we saw how bad he was. Literally did nothing.

 

[Scangg]

Geo or Ron need to step up second half. Asking for both is too much to ask it seems

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Anybody’s guess what seed we will be??

Right now looks like an onion. Cause we stink.

 

[Knightmoves]

Cliff should consider using the backboard. He always seems like he’s throwing downward at the basket when he’s in the post.

The dunk is Cliff’s only effective offensive move.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

these calls...

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Let it be known: Rutgers ran a really nice offensive play last possession of first half. Extraordinary.

Indeed, a new look of faking the horns and hitting the backdoor cutter for the easy jam.

It feels like we were totally out of sync for much of the half, didn't get benefit of the whistle at times, and yet with the 8-0 run, we are right back in it. Time to bring it in the second half and win.

Please.

 

[Scangg]

Hes a good shooter. More face up jumpers

It's kind of odd he shows zero touch on his hook when he has touch on his shot

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

The dunk is Cliff’s only effective offensive move.

He's better from 12 feet than a 3 foot hoop. Guys who said being misused are right.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

The ,2nd half could easily be Rutgers 43-21 like @Maryland

 

[RUTrack94]

Close game on the road versus 0-9 Nebraska .,, team have a pulse tonight?

 

[Scangg]

Start Mag second half and show you want to win this game Pike

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Would love to see us come out firing on all cylinders, take the lead, and never relinquish it.

Asking too much?

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

With any luck they'll be another thread started post game about how us posters sucked first half.. 🙏

 

[Scangg]

Close game on the road versus 0-9 Nebraska .,, team have a pulse tonight?

Mag has basically been it. Caleb some nice defensive plays. Cliff some boards and blocks. Offense stagnant but did miss a bunch of good looks as per usual

 

[greenknight]

On a side note CJ Wilcher and CO teammates at RC. Pike you want to win spend more time at RC. We missed out on Simeon wilcher, Cory floyd jr, you have akil and Tariq watson, Jamarques Lawrence. We spend more time looking out of state than in state

Harper 0 pts., 1 Reb., 1 Ast, 2 TO

So it was just words.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

I would be shocked to see Mag starting this half, but it would send a message and reward a guy that played great.

Please.

Looked at the play by play … nice run at the end.

 

[RUsojo]

Not a very fun game to watch probably only going to have the 2H on in the background.

Need to pick on 30 the rest of the way and Nebraska is bad enough we should be able to get down hill of screen action and win easy

 

[Knightmoves]

Season on the line in the 2nd half?

 

[RW90]

He's better from 12 feet than a 3 foot hoop. Guys who said being misused are right.

Can you imagine if he played the 4 with another serviceable big?

 

[Mr Magoo]

Nebraska is awful we are only down 3 gotta pull this out

We are awfuller

 

[jordkap]

Season on the line in the 2nd half?

I think we are past that point

 

[RUJMM78]

Anybody got a count on his consecutive short hook shots? How can not one coach address this?
One would think you would figure it out yourself.

Its been said by the media that Rutgers is a very good shooting team at the practice facility.

 

[bac2therac]

Lol at no play after halftime
