Maybe our team right now is overcooked broccoli, especially Paul, Cliff and Caleb.
Game Prep? that is such a weak answer.
Adjustments? Pike tried every combination. He was screaming at his players. He was on his team from the beginning.
We talk about the 5 stages of grief.......you are between anger and bargaining. Get to Stage 5.
This team has warts. We are unbelievably thin. We have played incredibly hard for 3+ months. The 3 captains have played a lot of minutes and it is obvious, at least to me, you can see a difference physically and emotionally. We are a terrible offensive team and that isn't changing.
The GOOD NEWS.....
go back and look at the last 3 years. All NCAA tournaments (I am counting COVID). All 3 years there have been multiple periods like this. Every time we snapped out of it. Every time most fans lost hope.
Pike will go back to work and the lens will be the same as it always is. Defense. Rutgers can lose 62-52, but it can never give up 82 points to Nebraska. Maybe the real number is closer to lower to mid 70s last night if you want to make an adjustment for Nebbie's ridiculous shooting
