The extreme disappointment of this team has gotten me to the point where I don't even feel like watching other games. Thanks a lot Pike.
Has this season made you lose your enthusiam for college basketball?

- Start date
Well - lax season is right around the corner.
Spring football will be here soon as well.

somewhat but also the shift of games to all different networks at odd times especially Peacock. It a disheartening to know the RU hoops season is over at the midway point of the season which might be the first time we can say it since Pikes 2nd year
im sure i will come around by the beginning of March

I don’t follow college basketball closely unless we’re good.
I can’t consume enough of The BiG Show when we are good, or watch enough BIG games when their outcomes are relevant to our place in the standings.
A basic Illinois vs Michigan St match up should be a game of interest, it’s an afterthought for me when I have no rooting interest.
As we get closer to the B1G tournament, if we turn this around somewhat and have a viable chance to participate, I’ll watch the teams we are competing against for last spot.
I can’t remember the last time I watched BIG show, I get sick listening to them report on us.

It’s only made it worse. I didn’t fill out a bracket in the past 2 years. The sport overall is suffering from the NIL and transfer rules
it’s made me lose my enthusiasm for steve pikiell
I'm a college hoops junkie. It's my favorite sport. I'll continue to watch with the same fervor.
I've followed the sport closely since I was a kid, as well as from 1992 through 2020 when Rutgers had three, maybe four, seasons in which it had a legitimate shot of getting a bid to the big dance. One disappointing season by my beloved Scarlet Knights is not going to stop me now.

I prefer college versus NBA basketball which is primarily 3 point shooting.This disappointing season really hurts because its highly unlikely players of Bailey and Harper talent will ever be successfully recruited by Rutgers in the future.Rutgers will fall back to Pikiell teams of the past far better on defense but struggling to score 65 points.With so many teams in the B1G Ten it will be very difficult to receive a NCAA bid.Lets not forget it was 30 years without one NCAA bid.
Are you forgetting last season already?
I didn't expect much last season after Paul and Cam skipped town.
I’m a big “ Curb Your Enthusiasm” fan !
Maybe we can see if Leon has any eligibility left. 😂

Season is definitely not over. If we get hot and everything breaks right the rest of the way, we can still be on the bubble for the B1G tournament.
Yep... can't count last season. Cam and Paul skipped town, then Mag decided he didn't want to play anymore.
Last season was annoying. Up until now, this season has been disappointing.
you'll probably come around once you start putting together the bacetology
I was always one of Pike's biggest defenders the past two years. But this year, no excuse for this
I give him credit for taking that task on, with us out of the picture I’d have zero motivation.
Maybe we can win the B1G tournament 😊
I’ve been a fan since before the Final Four team of 76 and even when Rutgers has sucked, which has been often, I rooted for the league they were in because it was in Rutgers’ best interest. As much as I hated John Chaney, I was a Temple fan with the Mark Macon teams, a URI fan when they went the Sweet Sixteeen, and even a Calipari UMass fan. Later, I rooted for all Big East, and Big Ten teams in March after Rutgers’ season was over, and I have hoped for the last 10 years that the Big Ten could win a championship they haven’t had since 2000.
This is the first season that I can honestly say that I don’t give two shits what the B1G does vs OOC games or in the tourney. NIL, the transfer portal, and our incredibly underachieving team have made me a Rutgers fan only now. The college game is being ruined.

Rutgers not being contention will make my job easier so I will not have to deal with a bias effecting my work
Yes the whole NlL thing has absolutely reduced my enthusiasm about college athletics. not sure how much longer i will pay attention
yeah.. it says Rutgers screwed up making some deal with ticket brokers. real Rutgers fans wanted season tickets or single game and were turned down. Sorry.. total season sellout!
Riiiiight...
Now we have had home games where a full crowd cheering their asses off might have made a difference. We all said that the RAC was a tough place to play.. right? Because of the FANS... not because of ticket brokers selling to whoever might pay the most.
Despite the last few years, I'm pretty used to this feeling during an RU hoops season. The no sit out free agency world is what is killing my interest more.
I can't watch non-RU games this season, knowing everyone is competing for something and we're .... not.
Most dissapointing season in any sport in my lifetime.

FYI…
New Jersey public school football is also a joke.
I never played a game on Woodman field in Montclair for 3 years without a minimum of 9,000 fans in the stands.
Today they get 500

You can watch many high school games from home streaming now, no need to go sit in the cold
Holy shite…. What an awful response.
The sad part about it is there’s some truth to it….but not much.
