Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Penn State

[RW90]

Time for the Hanson brothers line.

 

[tfio]

How does it just keep getting worse???

 

[bac2therac]

but they told us the shots would fall, everything was okay, the defense was fixed, they all told us..all the bloggers and the writers

 

[koleszar]

What in the hell is that lineup PIKE? Mulcahy and Palmquist? Pike is just throwing sh*t at a wall now, there is no coaching or answers, this is fvcking ridiculous.

 

[zappaa]

We need to schedule a cupcake so the team can see the ball go through the hoop. I don’t care if the game is tomorrow

Play against our D in practice

 

[Shell21]

Shoulda stated the half with this group . At least send a message to the starters . At this point the game is over

 

[RUsojo]

@Richard Schnyderite please please please first question in post game as polite as possible are you still not concerned about the offense but also don’t make it a yes or no question like I just did :)

 

[Caliknight]

Is team this mentally weak and soft? I think someone on team needs to get in someone’s face on penn state to light a fire beaneth team.

The coach. Pike is a like a cheerleader at this point. I am not a get in guys face type, but it's clearly warranted. I don't want to hear from him how tough a team PSU. They suck. Winless in conference coming off a Covid shut down without practicing.

If this doesn't get Pike going ape shit, nothing will.

 

[jvgrad02]

We are getting our asses handed to us by a sorry ass penn state team. How pathetic

 

[RW90]

Just comic relief at this point. Bac, please take take the night off with your post game wrap up.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Embarrassing

 

[bac2therac]

we have entered Eddie Jordan territory...and it isnt a joke

 

[Rutgers1010]

Good. He's sitting most of the bums.

The same bums that was ranked 11th and had 3 top scorers in the Big 10? Before pike switched everything

 

[jordkap]

At this rate Geo may not even be asked back next year. If he’s giving the team nothing, why bother

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Lol we are horrible. Same ol Rutgers. We are cursed

 

[fluoxetine]

**** this team. Pull all their scholarships, let them pay for their own education or get the **** out. If Pikiell doesn’t turn this around this year fire him too. What a ****ing loser.

 

[Shell21]

The guys r tuning him out for whatever reason ; never a good sign .

covid will be the excuse, its tough on the kids

 

[RU848789]

So much for that steal and bucket at the end of the half turning things around. 47-30. I'm just stupefied as to what has happened to this team. I know we're not this bad, but we're playing this badly. I never thought we were top 10, but damn, I thought we were going to be middle of the pack in the B1G, but not now.

 

[RocktheRac]

Stop making shit up. I hate bullshit claims like this. Even if it were true there isn't a 1% chance you could know that so just stop

Ok....you can honestly say that everything is roses in that lockeroom ....down 17 now with no pulse.

 

[Mr Magoo]

but they told us the shots would fall, everything was okay, the defense was fixed, they all told us..all the bloggers and the writers

and that’s not even mentioning our 8th grade CYO offense

 

[RUforlife]

What's funny is that even if there was no COVID you would have about the same size crowd at Ped State.

 

[RUBlackout]

Sorry but this is ALL on Pike

wtf is with the subs there??? We finally hit a 3 and get a bit of momentum and then let’s take everyone out.
Sorry but I’m seeing the worst coaching before my eyes ever!!!!

 

[RUsojo]

we need transfers in and transfers out

Pike rejected talented transfers to not upset this set of guards lol

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

The worst thing that could’ve happened to this team was early lights out shooting. They got used to not needing to rely on defense like past years.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Shoulda stated the half with this group . At least send a message to the starters . At this point the game is over

I honestly don’t think the starters even care. We should just opt out.

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

covid will be the excuse, its tough on the kids

You know I have thought about that. But other teams step up. Like the teams that have killed us recently. It’s called dealing with adversity and we’ve done a crappy job with it and Pike is stumped.

 

[jerzeyguy]

I can't believe the season is over already. Disappointing

 

[RocktheRac]

Christ are you serious with this shit???

This team is not smart enough to do this shit.

 

[bac2therac]

the lineup facepalm

 

[Plum Street]

Leave the bench in. I don't care how bad we get beat. Purge this thing and tear it all down. This current team is done. Their chance was last year. They blew it this year. Ready to cheer for a new team.

Oh man! Last year ! They needed a win the last weekend of the season to probably get in the tournament . And then they were underdogs for the first round big ten tournament game. What a chance ! These guys are pathetic

 

[RUsojo]

Mulchay McConnell Palmquist Mag Omoruyi ....

 

[RocktheRac]

We need to schedule a cupcake so the team can see the ball go through the hoop. I don’t care if the game is tomorrow

This was a cupcake.

 

[greenknight]

Now you'll just have Palm stand in the corners

 

[rufeelinit]

Kevin Willard on line 1. They found a date and will take the home game.

 

[mikeyo]

How does it just keep getting worse???

Its tough to play top level basketball without a true point guard
to organize an offense. We got away with it early, but that seems like eons ago

 

[colbert17]

We may have the worst off the ball defense I've seen this side of middle school. Shots don't fall I understand but matadoring guys and not blocking out are inexcusable.
How many long rebounds do we give up?

 

[IL Lusciato]

The same bums that was ranked 11th and had 3 top scorers in the Big 10? Before pike switched everything

Yes, those BUMS

 

[zebnatto]

Time to break out the Honeymooners one liners.

"Hello ball."

 

[bac2therac]

You know I have thought about that. But other teams step up. Like the teams that have killed us recently. It’s called dealing with adversity and we’ve done a crappy job with it and Pike is stumped.

yup and no excuse either because we havent been hit by covid like PSU just was
