Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD -- Rutgers versus Princeton

Love that we played this game as I love the SHU rivalry. we don't need to hide from them. We need to be better and keep scheduling these games.
He was terrible today. But the fact we were neck and neck with them and he was invisible is a good sign
The fact that we were neck and neck with them, and so many players tonight were terrible, is a sign of how good of a team Princeton actually is.
There is a great lesson to be learned by playing a disciplined team. Teaches you that little things matter. Not to mention making layups, foul shots, boxing out and hustle on defense. Practice will be fun tomorrow 😂
Stop. A 15 seed that lost 3 of their starting 5. This isn’t looking good.
Let’s see. I think he’s going to surprise us. I’m more worried about our guard play.
If Pike can turn this into a learning lesson, that playing as a bunch of individuals will result in bad losses to mediocre Q3 teams, and they take that to heart and somehow gel quickly, that would be a great thing to take away from this game.
The issues are as follows:
1) GG looked Jaden Jones like on D. If that doesn’t improve he won’t play that much.
2) Cliff is most effective when there’s someone else on the floor who is a big threat on offense. Like Cam Spencer. We didn’t have anyone like that today, and struggled to get him the ball.
3) The defense on a whole is going to really struggle. I think some underestimated what Caleb brought on that end. He was always there on help D to bail out his teammates on the dribble penetration. We have nobody like that now which is why that Lee kid killed us over and over.

I really thought we’d see a more seasoned Simpson with more savvy and control
Sorry if this was mentioned already.... Did you check in the Peacock "settings" to make sure you had your picture quality setting set to high quality, rather than to the low or the standard quality picture settings? Many devices let you adjust the Peacock picture quality setting.
Not sure I agree with you. Hyatt and Cliiff have been here forever and still havent leaned the value since there repeatedly doing the same thing. Simpson may but doesn't look like he learned from last year, albeit it is one game
Not entirely sure what you guys want people to "learn" about missed layups. I'm pretty sure they try to make them. There are lots of things they can learn from tonight's game but "don't miss layups" is not one of them.
It’s concentration and mental toughness. That can be learned. It’s obviously not skill - this team is super athletic.
Olympic sprinters and NFL players are super athletic.. do they finish well around the rim? It's super far from obvious that, for example, Hyatt's continual struggle to finish around the rim is not a skill issue.
