Just like a lot of shooters..he is streaky...next game he may just go 3-7 on 3 Point Shots.
Need a few more next year because shooters are streaky.
Pikiell is not a good offensive coach. Look at his Stony Brook numbers.
Can't expect to win against teams like this making turnover mistakes the way we have. Just brutal... could get over the hump.
Doesn't help that Issa had an absolutely horrific game... 1/10 is just awful, from a guy who is supposed to be a halfway decent shooter.

I don't care how many 3 pters Thiam hits in practice you have to donit in the games.
I think I would rather we Bullock out there at least he has an offensive mind and is not afraid to attack

really this is ridiculous. We're bringing a cap gun to a nuclear war. Who do you think is going to start sinking shots for us if John Wooden is coaching?
it doesn't help when we have a guy doing his Nigel Johnson impression of taking it reckless into the bigs and getting stuffed over and over and pouting when he doesn't get the call. He should have been taking those 12 footers instead.
and their big had 4 fouls with 5mins left...and our bigs were actually scoring and shooting > 60%....but we didn't go there and let Corey run amuk to the right over and over.
Cue the ridiculous hate on Thiam for one bad night...
I do agree with you here. For 4 years, he just let Dougher run the offense and shoot whenever he wanted. However, we also have pathetic shooters.
Exactly. Can't wait to see him off this team. Can't stand watching him play.
I don't think -- NOBODY thinks -- our offense is going to be anything great given the lack of shooting. But you cannot convince me that we're making the most of what we have on the offensive end.
sorry, I have my concerns as well. plan was to just let corey take over regardless of what else was happening out there. we had bigs scoring today and Baker didn't shoot like the last 6-7 mins...
He is what he is. I still want him back, but we all could do without the drama he brings.
Can’t stand some of the posts on this board. Yea Maybe Souf can run the point next year if you’d like that better
Our offense is very frustrating but I don’t understand people asking if we even practice running any sets or that Pikiell isn’t an offensive coach. It’s talent. Until we increase it, we’re going to struggle running anything. You can see we start to run some plays, but when we run into teams who actually play defense, we struggle, which is why we always seem to end up with Corey going 1-on- in the last 8 seconds of the shot clock.
Sorry to say, but if you want to score late Sanders is still our best option.
Geo can't create his own shot like Corey can. Maybe what would be good is Corey drive and try to kick it to Geo. but the ball needs to be in Corey's hands at the end.
yes...almost every night.....but the guy tonight was loose with the ball, forcing the drives, and getting burnt on D. not tonight.
stop and take the mid-range cause he wasn't getting any calls nor should he have with thosedrives.
Agree. I don’t want Corey shooting with game on line. Don’t mind him driving then kicking out to someone who is a better shooter. That would probably be ideal
This just goes to show what a difference coaching makes.
We are in almost every game because of coaching. We lose almost every game because of talent.
Pikiell's a very good (not great) on-court coach IMO. His recruiting has left something to be desired. 2019 class is going to be so key.
Corey is the best player on this team and I feel bad for you if you think we’re better off without him. Peter Kiss is 6’5” 190 and if you watch any of his highlights he isnt even a point guard. Corey HAS to force shots and drives because he is the only one that has the capability of creating his own shot. It doesnt always work when you play a good defensive team like Nebraska because we are so limited offensively
I know the Doughers well and watched Stony Brook them every time they were on tv. The Doughers are all class acts. Even went to a couple of their home games...so yes
I’ve watched Bryan and his brother play since they were little.
And...Bryan Dougher could have coached that team just as well as PIkiell. His grandfather and father were excellent coaches.
Went to a high school game tonight. Both teams rained 3's..
We just cannot friggin shoot. We cant seem to get QB's who can throw. These are problems that just never seem to get addressed in this place called Rutgers.

I can handle our football and basketball teams being bad but the thing that kills me is that they're both bad in the most infuriating and least entertaining way. How do you have a football team without a guy who can throw the ball? How do you have a basketball team without guys who can shoot it? And yet somehow we have both.
