Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Iowa
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Because they were 0-3 in league with a 9 point loss to horrific E Illinios who they were favored to beat by 30
Are they top 7 in big 10
No
Nothing about this was embarrassing. We lost to a good Big Ten team. Oh well…on to next week
It’s games like today why I get upset when my friends send me the stupid bracketology stuff (in early January) or I see dumb tweets about the kenpom ranking haha. Like just win. Forget all that other stuff. This team still struggles with handling success, it’s wild given the last few years. Frustrating. Win Wednesday please.
Sure it was, largest deficit at home in how long, 5yrs.? That's embarrassing for what many touted as Pike's best defense ever. When you do something negative that hasn't been accomplished in a long, long time you've embarrassed yourself.
From what I saw of Iowa this season today was a coin flip game. They are a very smart , cohesive team that shoots the ball very well.
Got outplayed today. Time to refocus & get ready for the next B1G game.
On the plus side, our talk of a Natty Run
will die down for a bit :)

Cliff O never came out of the locker room brought absolutely NOTHING
Rutgers is not going to be undefeated. Iowa played as well as anyone could have and shot the lights out. That's basketball.
If the refs didn’t scree us then we’re 4-1 with wins against 3 of the top teams in conf. Sucks tho to blow this game at home with a chance to be ranked and create some separation. Iowa is going to end up a contender though probably.
When you lose to SHU at home, you’re def vulnerable to lose to every B1G team at home too.
This.
Rutgers isn’t a top 10 team and Iowa isn’t a bottom 200 team.
2 pretty evenly matched teams today and Rutgers was off as Iowa was light out. Oh well. Sucks but it is what it is. On to the next one
When Iowa gets Patrick back, I think they are a better team than Rutgers. They have better shooters and they are an extremely cohesive and smart team.
Maybe some votes but doubt a 5 loss team is ranked. Don’t think it’s deserved but We’ll see.
Have to bring intensity and effort every game. Didn't see that today. Iowa not intimidated by the atmosphere at the RAC.
Honestly they’ve been playing a lot better without Patrick.
I expected us to win but forgot how good offensively Iowa can be, even without the better McCaffrey. Also forgot they throw that matchup zone at us that has always given us fits. Add in that we did not come to play at all..and it makes sense.
Again, when you accomplish something negative that hasn't been accomplished in 5yrs. you've embarrassed yourself. They have no one to blame but themselves because they didn't play like they're capable of. No one asked for more they just didn't live up to their past accomplishments.
Definitely not
I also saw 1/3 of the student section empty at tip-off. Less crowd noise in that corner
Fran 3 of last 4 vs. Pike. Took us out of B1G tournament last year. Pike has to figure they out.
A veteran team playing at home with one of the biggest home court advantages in the country coming out flat and playing gutless is an embarrassment
You're not a solid team if you need a sold out RAC to play your game. Second head case game at home. 2.5 counting Maryland.
Exactly. Sucks to lose but I'm not angry about this one like I was after Ohio State. They outplayed us today, oh well. Move on and prepare for NW
