Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Kennesaw State

[FIJI'83]

We better hope Bailey and Harper(and Somerville) grow up really fast. F’N Pikell needs to shorten his rotation entering Vegas. Pressure is on.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

what a brutal weekend

 

[mildone]

Always takes a lot out of a team to comeback from a big deficit. We needed to drive and draw fouls way more, and avoid outside shots. Slows things up, team scores points while the clock is off, and the team rests during the foul shooting.

 

[RU848789]

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

Maybe because he has looked slow and hasn't shot well?

 

[RUChoppin]

The broadcast quality is mirroring our play quality

 

[RocktheRac]

This game really doesn't matter we're going to lose all three games and Vegas anyway

 

[PiscatawayMike]

RU has to learn all teams will be coming at it with their best shot... we're not sneaking up on anybody

 

[RedTeam1994]

Wow these shots from ace . Ugh

 

[Rutman514]

The signs were all there in the earlier games unfortunately..

 

[KK1827]

These mid range jumpers from 2 feet inside the arc that have been a feature of pikes teams for 9 years are maddening. Lowest % shot in basketball.

 

[RAC93]

Nightmare game for Ace

 

[greenknight]

We need to grow alot as a team. Need better defense and any kind of rebounding. Sure hope AB does not go to NBA he needs another 30lbs and needs to start rebounding.

 

[RocktheRac]

Hope Bailey and JMike enjoyed their homecoming.

They be going to The waffle House right after this game

 

[FIJI'83]

Poor coaching. No two ways about it.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

This game really doesn't matter we're going to lose all three games and Vegas anyway

Disagree... this is the type of game that will help RU win in Vegas

 

[RUJMM78]

So close than Rutgers goes into scoring drought.The absence of 3 point scoring at crunch time is the main reason Rutgers can't take the lead.Allowing a opponent to score more than 75 points will be a ongoing concern.

 

[RAC93]

This game has been an utter and total mess

 

[newell138]

Well NIT can be fun

 

[RUChoppin]

The feed on this game has deteriorated almost to unwatchable

Doesn’t Pike know it and teach otherwise?

 

[mildone]

Refs are not gonna help us out with tough foul calls. Gotta go up hard.

 

[Scangg]

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

Thought this game was crying out for the experience and shot making of Acuff

 

[FIJI'83]

So many times Harp has gone into paint and came away with nothing.

 

[RocktheRac]

Is this CBS or Netflix

 

[RU848789]

Hate to say it, but the biggest reason we're about to lose today is Bailey. Terrible game. Matador defense, 5-16 from the field, 0 assists, 1 rebound, 2 TOs and 4 fouls. Unless of course, he hits 3 straight treys in the last 1:47. While Harper has been fantastic.

Edit: and Baily just gave up that O-reb on the FT by not boxing out.

 

[BOCA93]

Harper needs to stop thinking he’ll get the call every drive.

We are shooting way less of them

 

[SBP]

Well NIT can be fun

Over react much?

Zero issue here on YouTube tv

Hasn’t been a great game by him. He’s been tight and forcing things.

 

[biazza38]

Wow!!
What a foul call lol

 

[biazza38]

How do you not get that rebound

 

[RUeric]

That sums it up. No boxing out at all on the FT. Just assumed the make. No leadership on this team.

 

[koleszar]

These freshman are too lazy on D. Right there, two guys let one guy outhustle them for the rebound. When the game is on the line they failed because they don't work for it.

 

[RUChoppin]

Gotta board, smh

 

[greenknight]

Ace u got to get that board. You cannot get beat there

 

[bac2therac]

couldnt get that board.wow

 

[RedTeam1994]

Well if that ORB wasn’t this team in a nutshell

 

[BigEastPhil]

Ugh. Get the damn rebound

 

[Scangg]

Unbelievable. Not even close to getting that rebound somehow
