Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Lafayette
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
We didn't have good shots. They left us open because we can't shoot for shit
Never thought I had a better chance scoring with my wife than us making a 3

Harper..5 points vs LAFAYETTE and the kid thinks he’s nba bound. Lolol
I still cannot believe pike said this was his best team ever. That might be the worst part about this. He had to know this would be a rebuilding year
Hahaha at least I get good laughs like this when I come on the board. Makes the pain of the worse loss since I’ve been watching them go down easier
It’s not just him, two reporters were saying that too if I recall.
Harper throwing up terrible bricks most the night and a complete non factor in the paint or mid range.
Cliff is quick underneath on offense but he needs to develop alot. He could do much better for himself with a better coach. If I'm his handlers im telling him to get the hell out of here and fast.
After that we don't have anyone who will sniff the NBA.
Prior to game he looked like that girl you picked up at 3AM post game same girl you woke up next to at 8AM
Problem with that is I've been saying since day 1 he is not a top tier guy.
Why didn't Pike put in Caleb and Hyatt for the last possession defense? He coaching has been just as bad as his roster
He had a whopping 13pts against the tenacious Lafayette D.
Are you looking at ScoreMobile app?
It's stuck on halftime stats.
Very frustrating.
Score was updating but not player stats.
Here is ESPN boxscore

Can we sign my daughter she was 4 -5 on 3 pointers this weekend....for that matter she was also 4,-4 from the line
What kind of moron is fixated on holding opponents in the 50's?
Sort of like saying you've got your opponent locked in chess, and the only move he can make is CHECKMATE!

Pike will spin this as usual. I'm worried he's mentally losing it before our eyes. Rutgers has a dismal future unless Pike does some serious introspection and self-analysis.
Rutgers in its first game this season goes into overtime against Lehigh and squeaks out a win.Tonight Rutgers loses to Lafayette on a 3 pointer which is totally embarrassing because that was their first win of the season.The offense was so inept because Rutgers two best scorers failed to show up.Harper had a bad shooting night from the 3 point line and Baker was invisible for most of the time he was on the court until he left the game with a leg injury.Nobody wanted to shoot the ball in the last five minutes and sadly McConnell in too many cases took the shot and missed.This isn't the way fans expected the season to start.
Baker has had a career of busting his ass. But according to Bac, now that he's achieved NIL he doesn't care about basketball anymore? It just rubs me the wrong way. The kid has been a warrior for us.
Gotta love relying on McConnell's airballs to save RU Hoops from winless Lafayette
This is 100% on pike. His team did not work in the offseason. There’s no way you have a bunch of skinny or flabby guys running around if they worked. There’s no way they cannot shoot if they worked. There’s no way they have zero chemistry if they worked. There’s no way they defend this poorly if they worked. They all sat back and thought they were the best team Pikes ever had.
What else is on Pike? Everything. His leaders don’t lead. They don’t even seem to care. He doesn’t seem to know his personnel. Watching Caleb take four of our last shots in the game when he’s colder than a witches tit is criminal. Pike should surrender his paycheck this week. I don’t blame the player, this is on Pike. That’s just one example.
Best thing for this team is for Geo to have a minor hammy and sit out a game or two. Get the youngsters in the game. Play the two freshman. Jones can score and we don’t allow it. Criminal. The other kid is supposedly an amazing defender. Hasn’t played a single minute. Let him defend. And he has to be more dynamic at the point than what we’ve been watching for five games. Give him a chance because the “watching paint dry” offense is not working. And we aren’t getting steals or stops that lead to fast break points. Let’s get the kid out there and play faster.
It’s all on Pike. Started in the off-season when they all took a vacation and flows through everything right through strategy and choice of rotations.
Get it together Steve or go home.

also what were they trying to accomplish on our last possession, you cannot tell me that is what they wanted to execute, where was the pass to an open player.
I didn’t watch a replay, but it seemed like Paul chucked it way earlier than he had to. He’s our smartest player and he seemed to panic a little there. One more dribble and it’s a lot higher probability (though still very low).
Someone on this team needs to step up and lead. They must lead strong or they are in route to a sub 500 season. I still cannot understand how D1A athletes who have access to gym 24/7 cannot shoot at all. We will get mauled in B1G CO will be in foul trouble every night and we have no backup.
