Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Kennesaw State

[DHajekRC84]

During this timeout, let’s call a play for Hayes to get a look from the arc.

And there you go. No t to a player making plays today but let's set up the local star who's playing like crap b

 

[koleszar]

Freshman sensations led to the end of the comeback.

 

[RU848789]

Down 11 with 3 minutes left is not great. If we lose it'll suck for our NET, but maybe it's the wake-up call we need. Or maybe we're just not that good.

 

[RedTeam1994]

Agreed. Harp needs to take over and be a pig with the ball.

Unfortunately he’s done the exact opposite on both ends

 

[bac2therac]

wow ending the game with no fight...76-65

 

[biazza38]

A lot of work to be done.
Currently not a tournament team. Barely a bubble team.

 

[mildone]

Inexperience.

 

[RUChoppin]

Falling apart late

 

[RocktheRac]

Pike should take these guys out and put in the bench

 

[FIJI'83]

Terrible loss.

 

[Scangg]

Rutgers struggling since the TO

 

[Mr Magoo]

Bye bye ranking. At least we got a few weeks. I believe we’ve gotten worse every game we have played

 

[DHajekRC84]

Honestly we have two of the worst game day coaches in NCAA FB and BB. $10 million combined.

 

[Mholinko]

55-48....this game is very very winnable now. Lets see what they are made of.

It’s not winnable. And the games in Vegas won’t be either

 

[biazza38]

Earmark those two missed free throws
Not great by Jordan

Like I said, earmark those 2 missed free throws. They felt critical

 

[koleszar]

Vegas ain't going to be pretty. They think this was tough wait till the jump up in competition in that one.

 

[Rokodesh]

game over

 

[socaldave]

Completely in pike, needs to run an offense
His offense is 5 guys creating their on shot
Run a system, the announcers were saying the same thing
WTF

 

[bac2therac]

[DHajekRC84]

Bye bye ranking. At least we got a few weeks.

Based on preseason hype not play.

 

[RUz91]

Wow

 

[RUeric]

If we play this bad on the road at a small gym that quite frankly doesn't feel too intimidating, I can only imagine what it will be like in some of the tougher B1G gyms.

 

[RAC93]

Football embarrassment followed by basketball embarrassment, bad, bad weekend for RU sports

 

[zappaa]

Down 11 with 3 minutes left is not great. If we lose it'll suck for our NET, but maybe it's the wake-up call we need. Or maybe we're just not that good.

What changes take place due to a “wake up call”
Pike is going to coach a seemingly connected and fluid offense?
We play tough extended D?

 

[FinalFourOrBust]

The best game we played was the exhibition. Played like shit in all the real games.

 

[KK1827]

We lose this and get swept in vegas probably gonna need to go at bare minimum 11-9 in big ten play to make the tourneg

 

[RUBlackout]

Pike should take these guys out and put in the bench

Pike should be fired!! His rotations and love for certain players is his downfall

Im sorry but I see these types of games from him year over year. No excuse for it.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Completely in pike, needs to run an offense
His offense is 5 guys creating their on shot
Run a system, the announcers were saying the same thing
WTF

Since day 1.

 

[Scangg]

Where is Acuff? Experience and 3 point shooting against a zone D and he barely plays

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Goodbye early season ranking.

 

[RUChoppin]

We are 14 of 35 from two-point range

 

[SBP]

Both guys defense not great. Dylan more pro ready imho. Ace not so much.

 

[Mholinko]

Completely in pike, needs to run an offense

WTF

You could see the hero ball starting when we cut it to 6 for no reason at all

 

[RocktheRac]

If we play this bad on the road at a small gym that quite frankly doesn't feel too intimidating, I can only imagine what it will be like in some of the tougher B1G gyms.

That's why I picked 16 wins

 

[RUBlackout]

Tourney? At this point we are going to get waxed in BIG play. We will be lucky to even sniff the tournament and I were any recruits looking at the long term with Pike Im worried if he will be here or have success

 

[Corycord1]

Effort. 43-23 in rebounds. Team doesn’t care enough to rebound. Pathetic effort, they’ve earned the embarrassment that will come of losing this game. Terrible weekend to be a Rutgers fan.

 

[BOCA93]

Hope Bailey and JMike enjoyed their homecoming.

 

[mikemarc1]

So many chances to cut the game to 3 or 4 points and missed. And each time, Kennesaw came down and hit a 3.

Ace and Dylan certainly looked like freshman today, this season isn’t gonna be easy.

 

[Shell21]

welp, aside from a slight run, just a bad overall game coaching and playing. Lack of toughness and rebounding is a condern, as is a third scorer when one of Ace and Dylan is off. Surprised that Acuff can’t get any run but right now he trusts Derkack and JWill more. If we don’t get right, quickly we could be under 500 in a blink

The wake up was last game and you got this.
