Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Lafayette

[richthedentist]

This isnt even an exaggeration haha

My guys I play with can shoot better also and they are 60 years old

 

[RUBlackout]

I’m sorry but I’m really
Questioning if Pike knows
How
To coach

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Someone needs to ask Pikiell point blank what made him think this was his best team.

To help sell tickets is the only thing I can think of

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

worst RU game since Jordan era

 

[BillyC80]

Break up Lafayette!

 

[JudgeSmails56]

Funny when people ripped me for saying we’d stink after losing Myles and JY

 

[Shell21]

Geo is awful

 

[FrankZ]

Glad I slow-walked dinner. Could sense this trash coming.

 

[kcg88]

Down 7.
you know what the problem is though? This team isn’t any fun to root for.

There may be a mass exodus of players after this season. And that wouldn't be a bad thing.

 

[richthedentist]

Well there was a $1200 well spent

 

[Rusty_Screw_88]

Pike needs to show some damn emotion and yell. He could be in a damn coma and you wouldn't know it.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

LOL at Geo and his shooting tonight.

1-7 🤮

 

[NYSportsFan]

Not to pile on with everyone else but this is really bad. This is like pike’s first year minus the playing hard. At least that team appeared to play hard. Geo is a turnover machine, McConnell adds nothing, no front Court Depth. I don’t know what practice Dick Weiss was watching, but he needs his eye checked because this team is terrible. And it’s a shame cause Hyatt and Jones could be solid players but with the way Ron and geo have regressed, and McConnell just can’t hit a shot, it’s 5 on 4 with him out there. Man, game 5 got like 30 more of these vs better teams, ooof.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Can't replace Myles and JY. Everyone here needs to face facts. Lost our best two ballers. Pike failed us. We got the scraps.

 

[ScarletDog]

I don’t think he ever will

Unfortunately Cliff isn’t a basketball player. He seems to be an awesome kid with a super work ethic. But he’s uncoordinated and doesn’t seem to understand the game at all. I hope this is 100% wrong, but I fear he has already peaked.

 

[NickRU714]

Anyone else have the Giants game get all messed up just as Tampa scored?
Maybe it's a sign.

Haiku thread is on the football board

 

[richthedentist]

So much for Jaden Jones being a good shooter he can't hit a 3 pointer either

 

[ScarletNYC]

I want the posters who said we were overreacting to apologize. ****ing clowns.

 

[bac2therac]

We are being outscored 19-6 over 10:30 minutes

 

[IL Lusciato]

This team stinks.

 

[bethlehemfan]

We just simply can’t shoot the ball.

 

[Shell21]

-11 on the boards lol

 

[RedTeam1994]

Wow we are so poorly coached

As I said in another thread a few days ago, I have been a big pro Pike guy but watching this live really brings this point home.

there is zero offensive game plan. ZERO movement

Then you see the deliberate offensive sets by Lafayette, the CONSTANT movement, the deliberate cuts. We do NONE of that

you can see the huge difference in athleticism in RU last favor but he does NOTHING to take advantage of our physical advantage. Nothing.

thoroughly outcoached

 

[RUonBrain]

Which team is worse?
The men or women?

 

[FrankZ]

And people crave stronger OOC scheduling lol. Well at least we’ll help Lafayette get their first win.

this is my issue. The team used to lack talent but it was fun to watch because every game was a street fight and they’d play their guts out.
this team lacks talent, doesn’t play hard, doesn’t give a crap, and oh yea, lacks talent.
Very very disappointing. Not sure what to do all winter as I used to mark these games on the calendar and look forward to watching.

 

[zappaa]

We have optimists who actually believe we will break out during B1G competition

 

[zebnatto]

Our best players tonight are Cliff, Ron, and Paul. And they’re not playing very well.

 

[richthedentist]

Now 3-19 from 3

 

[zappaa]

Lol
We have zero inside game

 

[Ronnie_B]

This is bad. I can't watch the game and checked the score and figured we should be coasting against an 0-4 Lafayette.....WTF?????

 

[zebnatto]

OMG

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Eddie Jordan is back

 

[zappaa]

Now 3-19 from 3

Pike
“Keep shooting”

 

[kcg88]

This goes beyond losing Myles and JY. Does anyone think we'd be good even with them, given what we're seeing? There's something rotten with the team. Need major shakeups on the player and coaching front. (No I'm not calling for Pikiell's head... read between the lines)

 

[Mr Magoo]

at least we know Cliff isn’t leaving for the NBA this year

 

[FrankZ]

Now 3-19 from 3

3-20

 

[FrankZ]

Still can’t make a darn layup. Unbelievable!

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Who else aside from me predicted a Lafayette win in the Game Prediction thread?
