Basketball GAME THREAD: RHoops vs. Wisconsin

[RU Mike73]

Good Lord we can’t do anything right

 

[jordkap]

Microcosm. Pritzl makes contested 3. Geo misses wide open 3. Not winning today gents

 

[Captain Hogleg]

McConnell is killing us.

 

[Randal7]

Never seen a team so bad at holding onto the ball before

We lost the iowa game on that

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

We go for EVERY single shot fake. Then the guy just goes round us..smh

 

[koleszar]

My God someone get this team some stick'em. Doesn't really matter as they're hitting over 50% from 3 but still grab the fvcking ball.

 

[richthedentist]

Outscored 24-3 from 3 point range defense terrible

Microcosm. Pritzl makes contested 3. Geo misses wide open 3. Not winning today gents

coaching

 

[bac2therac]

And RU basketball offense is?

Is our offense supposed to be up tempo fast break after these turnovers and rebounds?

There were 17 threads about how the players can't even be expected to run a 2 for 1 because they would have had to play fast.

the offense probably isnt the issue today even with the lack of 3s...our defense is basically shit, Wisky is getting any shot they want

 

[RU848789]

Nothing going right when a guy just drops a rebound...

 

[bossnj1]

Get Caleb out. He’s a liability

 

[RUsince52]

All the difference in the world when you can make threes whether their contested or not. Defense almost doesn't matter.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

I declare winning basketball shall begin to be played...

N O W

 

[RUz91]

i just feel like when teams play us they make the most unconscious shots...i don't get why we cant make them too

I’ll tell ya why. Recruiting. We have a coach that recruits guys he think will play good defense.

 

[wheezer]

if the tourney started today, RU is still in, problem is there are 3-4 games left to make our metrics worse while other schools win games to play their way in

Underdogs in each and every game out. We are not playing well enough as an underdog
To deserve a bid.

 

[RUJMM78]

No offense. No intensity. No heart. No postseason.

Th stigma of road games is simply too much for Rutgers this season and in previous decades.

 

[Randal7]

Pritzl is embarassing the entire team

 

[bossnj1]

How many shots does Harper rim out?

 

[RW90]

For the love of God, can someone explain to me what Myles is doing at the top of the key?

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Our bigs are soooo poorly coached on defense

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

McConnell is killing us.

Yeah and folks live to trash PM for his D. At least HE puts some effort into it.

the offense probably isnt the issue today even with the lack of 3s...our defense is basically shit, Wisky is getting any shot they want

The effort and focus has been horrible. Its that effort that usually feeds the offensive push.

 

[RUsince52]

That's why MJ has no moves, perfect example.

 

[richthedentist]

Myles Johnson just killing us again

 

[RU848789]

Offense is not the issue today - we're shooting 53% even with the lousy trey shooting

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Wisconsin basketball is the definition of white privilege

yes- they are privileged with being better basketball players than our team.

 

[bac2therac]

wow just awful

 

[RU Mike73]

Seriously MJ?

 

[RUsojo]

Geo plays too many minutes. We played our best ball when Young was playing out of his mind. He’s definitely come back to earth and has his faults protecting the ball.

but would like to see him get more run not paired with Paul/geo

 

[QD43]

Oh, Myles...

 

[RUsince52]

MJ just going thru the motions.

 

[jordkap]

Myles is the softest, my goodness. Missed an open dunk.

 

[NickRU714]

Offense is not the issue today - we're shooting 53% even with the lousy trey shooting

Wisconsin is shooting almost identical to us.
Our offense is exactly the problem.

RU 19/36
Wisc 19/38

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Last comment today. Pikel doing NOTHING to fire up his team. Letcthe refs own us AGAIN early and take us out of the game. So sick of the Mr. Nice guy crap.

 

[bac2therac]

okay here we go

 

[jerzeyguy]

No one even looks upset. Just defeated looking lol

 

[richthedentist]

The refs missed two calls on that offensive certainly make a three this is just bullshit

 

[biazza38]

Officiating sucks. The Wisconsin player fell and no travel

 

[Pancho1939]

Myles need to come out. What he just did was the dumbest play I have seen in my life

 

[ScarletWalk11]

So now you can fall down with the ball and no travel?
