Basketball GAME THREAD: RHoops vs. Wisconsin

[bethlehemfan]

I didn’t see this coming. We usually do well against teams we are more athletic than but Paul is playing A LOT.

Explain how we are more athletic? They are just as strong and highly skilled.

 

[The RUT]

Lol this is a joke.

no 3s....two straight halves...how can you compete in college hoops without making a 3 for two halves in a row....something smells fishy in Denmark...disgraceful

 

[jerzeyguy]

Might go out and change the brakes on my car. It's nice enough out

 

[RUTrack94]

Looks like I won another $50 on this game (bet $100 on UW to win) ... betting on RU sports is so easy ... on road always pick the other team to win straight up, and take the other team with points when RU at home ... I’ve won 4x my money this year betting on BB.

 

[bethlehemfan]

I thought this was our best chance for a road win. Maybe any win the rest of the season and we’re getting embarrassed. Truly depressing.

Why? Have you seen show Wisconsin has played at home?

 

[RUby RED]

Just a bad team right now. The whole team minus Kwasi have regressed since January

 

[tfio]

Lmao...who didn't see that shit coming

I didn’t see this coming. We usually do well against teams we are more athletic than but Paul is playing A LOT.

I just meant to dagger 3 to end the half

 

[Scangg]

Hard to win if you get nothing from your big men AND can't shoot 3's

 

[Mr Magoo]

Can't wait to make it close in the 2nd half and then lose a heartbreaker...should be fun

I doubt if any adjustments will be made. We’ll just throw in some BS shots to get to it to 6 or 7 and then pack it in.

 

[RW90]

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

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

We scored 4 points in the final 8 minutes of that half. You guys dont wanna hear this but pike really needs to take a long look in the mirror this off-season and make some changes. We cant just not run an offense. He keeps saying “the ball just didnt go in”. Well i mean, you gotta at least attempt to do some things to help the ball go in.

 

[gmay8]

I’m watching on delay, 2 mins left in half where I am. But 7-2 in fouls through 18 mins and RU driving and getting crushed with no calls is a ****ing joke. We’re getting robbed.
Oh and we can’t shoot.

 

[RocktheRac]

This team doesn't want it. Maybe they think the last 3 are at home. No urgency no offense no talent. We are all fools getting hoodwinked,

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Why? Have you seen show Wisconsin has played at home?

Have you seen Purdue play at home? Maryland or Penn State anywhere?

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Unfortunately our collapse is predictable. We look so awful in all parts of the game. We're losing the next 4 and missing the tourney I don't think it's even a debate. Typical Rutgers yet again

3 and 7 finish last year.

 

[Joey Bacala]

This is depressing to watch. They have 2 centers who can shoot, we don’t have one single guy on the roster who can

Every kid in the midwest over 6'9' who can shoot threes goes to Wisconsin.

 

[Rutgers25]

I’ve been amused by the optimism in the various will we make tournament polls. It’s been obvious for a while that we are collapsing. This team is finishing 18-14....I have no doubt. This season has been interesting, because we were fortunate with a favorable conference schedule early on and took advantage. Fooled everybody. As the schedule has tightened and we started getting scouted better, we’ve reverted back to the tier that Minnesota and Indiana reside in.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Have you seen Purdue play at home? Maryland or Penn State anywhere?

Wisconsin has been better than penn State or Purdue at home

 

[Mr Magoo]

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

no coaching right now either.

 

[bac2therac]

can this team come back? Sure, we have seen it before but its going to take a complete turnaround

have to get back to playing Rutgers basketball..shooting 50%but down by 13..lmfao

if this team comes back and wins, it will prove its tourney worth, if it loses by 10-15, it will prove its not tourney worthy

 

[BigEastPhil]

Not only do we look like a high seed NIT team but we may play on Wednesday njght of big 10 tourney. It is not inconceivable

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Wisconsin has been better than penn State or Purdue at home

Ok, whatever buddy. You’re right, I’m wrong. Happy now? Jesus.

Scoring droughts. Every. Single. Game.

No 3's in two halfs in the year 2020. Not sure how that even happens

scoring droughtssss. We need a grad transfer shooter

 

[bac2therac]

its not so much they are losing but how they are losing and startling lack of urgency of how important this game is

 

[gordel1]

When it comes to getting over the finish line in huge accomplishments in football and basketball these programs almost without fail fold.

We need a coach who knows how to implement an offense. And no im not saying fire pike im saying hes gotta get rid of one assistant and bring in one who knows how to run an offense

 

[RocktheRac]

RU vs St John at theRAC

 

[SleepingGiantIsAwake]

Yup. Our bigs have disappeared and just don’t playi smart.

On the 3s....still too much hesitation. Freakin’ be shot ready and shoot! Too much thinking.

Hopefully the players that are pissed play and bring it in the 2nd half.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

RU vs St John at theRAC

Haha honestly you couldnt pay me to go to an NIT game. Its a tourney for losers

 

[RW90]

I would pay serious coin to be a fly on the wall in the lockerroom.

 

[BigEastPhil]

RU vs St John at theRAC

We will play MAAC winner at home in round 1. Possibly ST Peters or Monmouth if they don’t win MAAC tourney

 

[jerzeyguy]

They all look like their ready for the season to end. Maybe next yr will adjust to style of play that paces better. Team is exhausted, around the same time as last yr

 

[JimmyJack39]

I want Pike to have a press conference after we lose all our remaining games and end up 12th in the conference. Right where we were picked and what he always brings up when we won. I'd love to hear what his answer is for being embarrassed and being responsible for this epic collapse that puts us right back where the B1G said we'd be.

 

[Randal7]

We launch 3s and im not even sure the guys taking them think they are goin in.

 

[RUsince52]

Our big men don't have the offensive capabilities like every other team. It hurts when we go into scoring funks and they only score on ally ops. Very little chance of drawing fouls.

 

[RUTrack94]

At this point I’m looking to see if RU sets the following records:

1. Least amount of FTS made
2. Least amount of FTS attempted
3. Least amount of 3S made
4. Most 3S attempted without making one
5. Least amount of fouls by the opponent

 

[Rutgers25]

We’re all just so frustrated that every team gets to have a magical season, while we fall flat on our face. Freaking Penn State, a basketball program that they don’t care about gets their day in the sun.

And we are shooting 50% and still have only 26 points this is embarrassing and yes Pikell does have to stop making excuses

 

[JimmyJack39]

We will play MAAC winner at home in round 1. Possibly ST Peters or Monmouth if they don’t win MAAC tourney

I will not watch this awful team in a meaningless second place tourney after they choke an NCAA bid away. It's been like watching an Edie Jordan team the last few weeks minus Illinois game
