Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers 🏀 vs. Nebby

[fluoxetine]

OMG just got done working wtf happened!?!?

Was on a zoom like 7:10 til now

Playing like a bubble team at best IMO.

 

[RU205]

Why am I still watching.

 

[eedouble]

I got a feeling the media reaction to this fiasco won't be favorable.Just imagine the pressure on the team when they play Minnesota on Saturday.Carr can score 30 points the way Rutgers is playing defense.

I could score 30 the way they’re playing defense!

 

[RUsojo]

Realistically I’d say no one has clearly improved. It looked like Ron had through 7 games, but that got stretch appears to have been fools gold. Maybe JY, tho he remains inconsistent. Myles has perhaps fine-tuned his defense and cut down on the fouls, but beyond that, everyone is basically the same player they were last year, if not worse

JY is clearly better. Myles better but you nailed it offense/defense. Paul better just have limitations where certain opponents he is a bad fit.

If you’re losing by thirty , you deserve to be losing by thirty.

He will

 

[ScarletteK80]

this is a great opportunity to play the freshman for some extended minutes..

That would be unfair to the frosh.

 

[RUBlackout]

We lose and lose again to Minny and we are out of tourney....quite amazing

 

[fluoxetine]

i am really scared about the NET. we saw what a Louisville loss to UNC by 40 did to their NET, now RU is losing by 30 to #138. We could be 50 tomorrow

Yes. Are they still capping MOV at 10? After that Michigan St game we dropped by like 20 spots in Kenpom / Torvik. This is obviously worse although it’s further into the season which helps a bit.

 

[SBP]

Not sure it matters. There is something wrong with this team, and we can never rely on them to bring their best consistently. It's damn near impossible to get excited about watching them play. Performances like tonight's are becoming the expectation.

Between the ears

 

[RU848789]

I thought we had nothing to worry about.

Everything was all good.

People who were worried were just being too much.

C'mon where's your typical bravado where you go around calling people out and mocking them.

Hahaha not so tough now.

Nothing to do with being "tough" - was just a dumb post to say that Hoiberg, the guy coaching the 6-17 team, "coaches to win," while the guy coaching the 13-9 team, "coaches to be a nice guy."

It’s early yet we could come back

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

The good news is the BIG track championships are on next

I thought This was it and Nebby running sprints while we were in cross country mode?

 

[greenknight]

This one is over kids

It was over in first 5 minutes. Just need to open your eyes

 

[FastMJ]

Tell me this game is not the curse of the NCAA drought. First last season’s unreal denial of a bid already earned and now this. This is supernatural shit right here!

 

[koleszar]

Oskar Has already made two inexcusable mistakes on defense

Right now i don't see what our coaches saw in him. Now that could change but I'm just not seeing it. He doesn't even contribute a little tiny bit.

 

[runner3283]

Pike says defense comes first

Well nobody on the team is listening to him

 

[dconifer]

You'll feel differently that first day of NCAAT, anticipating a game against X State or Eastern Whatever. Hang in there...

 

[IL Lusciato]

Just not a good team.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

You can see they did nothing they were doing in that Indiana game setting each other up for open shots like Nebraska did tonight . Indiana game 22 assists, Rutgers 5 assists to Nebraska 19 assists.

 

[BROTHERSKINNY]

Cant make anything tonight.

 

[BOCA93]

Even if RU manages to break the 30 yr drought and limp into the tourney, does anyone think it will be anything more than a 1 and done? losing by 30 to the worst team in the BIG, with so much at stake is just pathetic

 

[cyrock3]

Pike called the dogs off against Indiana. Pike regularly lets players off the hook for poor performance or being pouty.

Hoiberg is doing no such thing against us. Hoiberg is brutal. He doesn't call off the dogs. If players aren't working out, they can take a hike off his team. He did it last year, he did it to Teddy Allen this year.

 

[FastMJ]

Very few of our missed 3s were even close

 

[RUsojo]

Pike should not have turned down transfers that wanted to be here this year. Big mistake.

 

[KevH]

Why am I still watching.

Ha! My Hulu just crapped out. You know it's bad when Hulu freezes and the error message reads: "We're having trouble playing this" Well, no sh*t... a lot of that going around.

 

[chickenpatty2]

I know it's garbage time, but they really send NOBODY to the basket on an offensive shot. It's like an offensive rebound happens by accident. I'm not saying they should be Rodman out there, but they'll never get 2nd chance points this way.

 

[theRU]

After this pathetic display I'm fine with the streak continuing

 

[Mr Magoo]

Why am I still watching.

it’s like rubbernecking. It’s so bad that you can’t stop watching

 

[ru8081]

One thing is consistent
They are a horrible 3 point shooting team.

 

[RU Mike73]

2 for 21. A RU sh!tting me?

 

[RUsojo]

Alright let’s see Jaden Jones NET is already gonna get wrecked

 

[NickRU714]

RHJ really filling it up now that qe are down by 30

Hoiberg is doing no such thing against us. Hoiberg is brutal. He doesn't call off the dogs. If players aren't working out, they can take a hike off his team. He did it last year, he did it to Teddy Allen this year.

And yet Nebraska sucks.

 

[RuBird]

Harper strong to the hole. Now only down 28. We can do this.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Agree with that. I’m looking forward to some turnover next season. Very hard team to like.

 

[RU848789]

Right now i don't see what our coaches saw in him. Now that could change but I'm just not seeing it. He doesn't even contribute a little tiny bit.

Agreed. Cliff might be the only player to play much from that class (maybe Mag).

 

[cyrock3]

And yet Nebraska sucks.

They certainly do. But we're losing by 30 to them so what are we?

 

[greenknight]

Your down 30 pts and your going to put in the garbage ass players that put you in this position sad

 

[B0ski]

The guy with the only made 3’s riding the pines.

 

[NickKnight 1]

Harper strong to the hole. Now only down 28. We can do this.
