Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Kennesaw State

[mildone]

OMG Bailey with the Boneheaded pass nice homecoming dumbass.

Jeez. The freshman made a mistake. It happens.

 

[newell138]

Why is he passing that?

 

[RUChoppin]

Jesus Ace. What a freaking disaster. What kind of player doesn't want the ball in his hands at the end of the game.

A thousand times this

 

[RedTeam1994]

Worst weekend of RU sports …. Ever?

Wtf was Bailey doing?!?!?!

 

[biazza38]

That ball needs to get to Dylan immediately
Easier said than done. I know

 

[RAC93]

They scheduled that game only because of Ace and they lost it in large part due to Ace

 

[BOCA93]

Wtf. Why in world is the ball in Ace’s hands and not Harper’s!!?

 

[socaldave]

Unbelievable

 

[RedTeam1994]

Weak = phantom

Williams pushed the kid.

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

Horrible. Unprepared all around

 

[Saint Puppy]

Ace can score and......not sure what else. He is green in almost every other aspect of his game.

 

[FIJI'83]

Bailey needs to grow up. F the press clippings. GROW UP. WE NEED YOU TO BE BIG!

 

[RUChoppin]

Brutal

 

[Mr Magoo]

Didn’t expect Bailey to be so unsure of himself there. Looked really scared

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Ace and Schiano having dinner tonight at the BoneHead Grill.

 

[socaldave]

First win ever over a ranked team
On Pike completely

 

[Mholinko]

I think this game scripted what everyone should’ve known

Dylan is nba ready ace is nba talented but mentally as green as ogbole

 

[newell138]

First time they ever beat a top 25 team lol

 

[Scangg]

Martini 1-4
Derkack 1-5
Davis 0-4
Williams 1-4

 

[RocktheRac]

Missed foul shots from Derkak deadly

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Give the damn ball too Harper.. did Pike have a TO to freeze Ace?

 

[Scangg]

Williams pushed the kid.

It was actually a foul on the Kennesaw player pushing Williams

 

[koleszar]

Jeez. The freshman made a mistake. It happens.

There's 8.3 secs left in the game, you don't have to be a genius to realize rush it up court and take the shot.

 

[RAC93]

Worst weekend of RU sports …. Ever?

Wtf was Bailey doing?!?!?!

Agreed, no doubt at all about that

 

[KingOfTheEast]

This is a loss that will keep us out of March

 

[Saint Puppy]

Should have been pressing the whole game. Can't say I'm super surprised by this - they have not looked good against the past 3 cupcakes. This team is going to get blown out in some games in the schedule ahead - no doubt about it.

 

[RocktheRac]

Same happened to Flagg when ball was in his hands to win it. Flustered freshman

 

[BigEastPhil]

How bad will this loss look come ncaa selection day?

 

[RUChoppin]

Learning opportunity for Bailey.

Our guys need to figure out how to play as a team, though. Inexperience glaring. Not connected or cohesive, no one sure or their role yet.

One of the problems with a full roster turnover like this. Not enough culture carryover from prior seasons

 

[shields]

Derkack two bricks hurt and don't call kid dumbass. has played 3 games!

 

[Shell21]

1 rebound for Ace , 2 for O, 3 for Lathan and 0 for Martini. These are your bigs. Just unacceptable. This isn’t a big ten team or alabama. If Pike can’t get these guys to rebound it’s never going to happen

 

[King of S]

Wtf. Why in world is the ball in Ace’s hands and not Harper’s!!?

No timeouts left to plan the ball to Harper.

 

[RUinOhio]

Refs didn’t help. Any contact was a RU foul. Many of the baskets RU scored should have been and 1. Still bad basketball

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Freshmen, no matter how good, like to defer in endgame situations. Bailey will learn he's being counted on to shine in those moments.

Also, he'll realize he can't make cross-court passes.

Good early-season learning experience.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

First time they ever beat a top 25 team lol

We're not top 25 but I get it. Congrats to them. 6-1 Better coached team.

 

[BillyC80]

Bailey just walking it up the court why yyyyuù7

Give it to dylannnn

I was shouting “Give it to Dylan!” as soon as we got that rebound. Wow, maddening that we actually could have won the game. There’s no way they stop Dylan without fouling him.

 

[greenknight]

AB gotta push tempo there. There are not many good cross court 1/2 court passes. Gotta know the situation there 8 seconds cannot be jogging that up

 

[RUTrack94]

Another crushing loss this weekend … being a Rutgers fan is so depressing …. give them credit from having a shot to win after down 21 …but never heard of their opponent.

 

[RocktheRac]

How bad will this loss look come ncaa selection day?

It won't even be close to be considered

 

[FIJI'83]

Terrible loss. We have made every team we have played so far look much better than the actually are. Does Pikell have the chops to mold these players into a B10 winning team? Honestly not sure but hope so.
