So next game we start pressing earlier. It's made a difference both on the scoreboard and with our energy. Too little too late now unfortunately .
Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops versus Ohio State
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Jacob tries all the time. I’m happy with him even though he can get sloppy. He’s all heart
A team without their starting point guard should have been pressed from the start. Especially with the lack of intensity last game.
I think you have it. I think people gave GEO too much credit for being the mature glue last year. I think It was Yeboah. Someone needs to be the composed leader. They don't have one right now
Geo’s issues might be mental at this point. Wonder if he is worried about his ankle when he jumps.
Harper and Geo man that duo has just been put on the side of a Milk carton.
C'mon, Jacob was all energy as usual with 19 on 9-15 shooting and all over the place.
Final score 79-68 Ohio State .late run made the final score more respectable but there are so many problems that need to be addressed.
We need to recruit a 4. We have 10 guards and 2 centers
Mental and physical softness today. Pike needs to hit reset and change the current mindset. I still believe this team can be better than last year, because guys have become better at putting the ball through the hoop, but we are being out-toughed.
When you don't get anything out of Ron, Mathis, and Geo, you're not going to win.
A week off might not be the worse thing for this team. Geo needs to take a step back and get his head right. It’s mental with him at this point. Is he afraid to land on someone’s foot every time he leaves the floor to jump?
Coach needs to get this team back to basics with rebounding, defense, and hustle.
And maybe practice more zone defenses and presses if Myles getting fouls is such a concern.

Maybe. But sometimes that sort of thing backfires.
I think making the team get together and watch some highlights of players pouting, or jogging instead of sprinting... and calling it out, will be enough to make those players cut out the crap. Maybe show contrasting film of them playing with intensity and energy to come from behind. A bit of carrot or the stick.
RU goes nowhere unless everyone, including Geo, plays each point with great intensity, especially when the refs and the bounces are going against them. It’s forgivable to miss shots or make bad decisions. It’s not forgivable to give less than 100%.
Another loss to OSU ... 0-2 in BB ... any shot in beating them in any sport this year?
Wrestling got smashed, BB lost 3x in a row, WBB lost 2x in a row ... starting to feel like a few years ago when we would win 20% of our contests.
Wanted to see 1 conference championship in anything this year. Maybe Wonen Soccer?

We'd get our asses kicked again....lots of talk and nothing to back it up this game
in the OSU game you repeatedly saw Mathis getting hard hand checks as he attempted to elevate.. its easy to block shows when you hold back and then climb the shooter's body.
