Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers Basketball falls to Maryland 63-46

[RutgersChow]

Holy fvck. Pike needs to clean out a lot of guys for next year. The two freshman phenoms will not be able to overcome the rest of the teams sh*tty play.

He needs to clean out the guys sitting next to him.

 

[RU_SAM]

The effort is embarrassing

 

[RUby RED]

Hyatt getting bitched

 

[RU Mike73]

Hyatt didn’t even jump for that board.

 

[Mr Magoo]

WTF was that rebound attempt Hyatt?

He couldn’t score on it so he wasn’t interested

 

[RuBird]

Hyatt‘s body language tells so much about this team

 

[RAC93]

WTF was that rebound attempt Hyatt?

It’s called no attempt

 

[RAHWAYBOB]

Total lack of effort!

 

[ClassOf02]

I mean Hyatt is getting completely punked, but we have him playing the 5?

 

[BillyC80]

Hyatt boxes out and then doesn’t jump for the rebound, wow

 

[bac2therac]

The RAC crowd deserve better

 

[robjknight]

We cannot take 30 seconds on every offensive possession if we want to get back into it
Hyatt terrains flat footed and let’s Maryland rebound

 

[richthedentist]

Ok on pace for 40 now

 

[Mr Magoo]

I mean Hyatt is getting completely punked, but we have him playing the 5?

Why is he even on the court. Most selfish player we have had since Deshawn Freeman…but at least Freeman worked the boards.

 

[biazza38]

There needs to be a lot of players processed. I still can’t believe PSU hit the portal for basically everyone and has as good of a team as they have.
Pike gets too cute with finding guys who have a role and in the end no one can score

 

[jerzeyguy]

Palmquist is the best player on this team

 

[RUTrack94]

waiting for Gavin to hit 7 treys in a row … he’s due to get his shooting percentage up to 25% for the year

 

[bac2therac]

Hyatt. Lol. Just awful

Next year can't come soon enough

 

[shields]

Virginia had 6 points in 13 minutes. Just like this game.

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

It’s clear pike has to grow up, send most of the roster on its way, and be extremely aggressively in the portal.

 

[fatsam98]

Crowd is ready for a run. No idea why but this place is really into it still

 

[koleszar]

It's simply amazing to me the effort being put forth by some of these players. Have a little pride, there's guys out there busting their butts and some guys just going through the motions.

and that play is being rewarded as he trots Hyatt back out there.

 

[richthedentist]

Ok Pikiell get real you are keeping Cliff out

 

[RAC93]

Outrebounded 35-22…..no toughness or effort, Cliff and Mag useless on the boards, Hyatt watching rebounds and not jumping, Oskar with no prayer of boxing guys out…..GG is our leading rebounder, never a good sign

 

[robjknight]

Palmquist is the best player on this team

Wasn’t long ago that some thought Pike wasted a slot by bringing him back.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Thank God those two are signed.

 

[biazza38]

It’s clear pike has to grow up, send most of the roster on its way, and be extremely aggressively in the portal.

The question is can he actually replace them?

 

[RUTrack94]

Hit 30 … next goal is 40 … only down 14.

 

[bac2therac]

Lineup needs to stay in rest of game

 

[Nycrusupporter]

Did we just see Offense???

 

[RUTrack94]

Only down 12.

 

[NickRU714]

This is what we do. Terrible first half. Second half we slowly wear them down and get back into it to win.

Hopefully we keep it up.

 

[ClassOf02]

Pike definitely sending a message to Cliff & Mag with these extended bench minutes.

 

[shields]

Williams playing hard.

 

[RUTrack94]

Lineup needs to stay in rest of game

Send a message … you play well, you stay in. Earn playing time.

 

[socaldave]

We have to move on from Cliff, I hope he goes pro, he is an athlete not a basketball player.
A big reason our offense sux is because he 1 dimensional does, not pass out of the post misses dunks has not bball IQ
All he can do on d is block shots 1 dimensional on both ends of the floor.

 

[RU Mike73]

Band of misfits playing hard, ex Hyatt.

 

[koleszar]

My God here come the refs, just can't have nice things while zebra's are involved.

 

[Fat Koko]

Hobbs needs to have a serious talk with Pike about the plan for the offense next season

Nothing Hobbs can do. Last March, Pike extended through 2030. If anything, Pike will force Hobbs to add a million or so to the Pike staff salary pool.

 

[RAC93]

Austin Williams is a moron
