Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. Lafayette

[Rokodesh]

Must be 2% from 3

 

[kcg88]

These shots aren't even close to going down. Comical.

 

[Shell21]

How is it possible to be this bad from 3. Not even close

 

[FrankZ]

Shoot at that thing with the net 🤦‍♂️

 

[koleszar]

Not sure what to do all winter as I used to mark these games on the calendar and look forward to watching.

Pray we make a bowl game that’ll take a couple weeks of this winters pain out

 

[CHR2022]

Just don't get why we're settling for 3s when thats never been our game. Get to the paint.

 

[zappaa]

Pike coaching a bad shooting team to shoot more 3s

 

[richthedentist]

I don't think we have even hit the rim on half of our 3 pointers

 

[kcg88]

Pikiell trying to hype the fans up for a defensive possession against Lafayette is embarrassing.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Getting eaten alive by Lafayette lol

 

[FrankZ]

Two more missed layups lol. Like purposely trying to miss.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Cliff is lost on D

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Cliff might as well try a three can't do any worse than any of our supposed "shooters" on the team, he's one of the few that showed up on offense tonight

 

[bac2therac]

So many empty trips

 

[zappaa]

Cliff is lost on D

Clueless

 

[bac2therac]

Geo hurt..to lockers

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Bake and Harp "testing the NBA waters...but decided to come back to RU for the fan experience" lol....sure

 

[Rokodesh]

Very unhappy with how pike is coaching this team. Either Jones or Hayat should be in the entire game. Caleb does nothing

 

[FrankZ]

Pikiell trying to hype the fans up for a defensive possession against Lafayette is embarrassing.

I didn’t know whether to chuckle or scream

 

[richthedentist]

We are not going to win a game in the Big 10

 

[NYSportsFan]

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.

Yeah I can live with bad shooting, I just can’t live with geo lollygaging (sp?) through turnover after turnover, or Ron Harper just 40 feet off on a wide open 3, or leaving shooters wide open, like defense & effort separated us the last two years and I don’t know what it is this year but this team just got too much hype and after this loss to Lafayette, maybe it will bring them back down to earth. I mean the teams we have played have had like 5/4/ 6 wins the past few years, we should be running these teams out of the gym.

Noticed that..desperation

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

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

I banned myself the other day cause I thought I may have been too harsh.....haaaaaah.
This is a joke of a well coached program led by nobody , especially Mr. Nil..aka number zero.

 

[zappaa]

Caleb from 3

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Crowd into it by the sounds on the radio

 

[FrankZ]

Caleb, please don’t ever shoot a 3 again

 

[RUPartisan]

Guys relax this is one of the best Lafayette teams their coach has ever had. Said it himself preseason.

 

[BillyC80]

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)

Seems like a combination of a poor offensive gameplan and zone defenses. We look hesitant and disjointed.

 

[Shell21]

DO NOT EVER SHOOT THE BALL CALEB!!!

 

[Lions813]

Love Geo but he should have turned pro. He doesn't seem into it this season and his minutes should have been given to young Jalen Miller. It may have been the same but at least he'd be a Fr who could still develop rather than a fully developed Geo

 

[richthedentist]

AT least Caleb hit the rim on that 3 pointer

 

[koleszar]

Who gave McConnell the green light from 3?

 

[kcg88]

I banned myself the other day cause I thought I may have been too harsh.....haaaaaah.

The issues run far deeper than Geo Baker right now.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Geo hamstring injury?

 

[FrankZ]

AT least Caleb hit the rim on that 3 pointer

I mean just a graze

 

[Eagleton96]

Lmfao

Thats not why he is a colossal disappointment

And where is the personal attack..nil?

He is 5th year senior

Stop treating him like a baby

I’m not. For example I’ve been hard on Mulcahy. But I don’t say it’s because all he cares about is his gratitude foundation or whatever. I just say he sucks (as a basketball player). I’m just saying that axe you carry around to grind is annoying.

 

[FrankZ]

What are these guys shooting at??

 

[mikeyo]

Crowd into it by the sounds on the radio

Yeah they are. Let's face it, we are the most loyal fans on the face of the earth. We've
had tobe for 30 years now

 

[bac2therac]

Terrible

 

[MV9000]

Absolutely sick to my stomach
