Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers Basketball falls to Michigan State 73-55

[RUBlackout]

We have no offense under Pikiell, but not we have no defense either. How many more years do we have of this?

We actually do run an offense but our PLAYERS run hero ball when they touch it. Pike needs to bench them but he isn’t controlling that

 

[Scangg]

19-0 run since I woke up and turned the game on. My bad guys

 

[bac2therac]

Why is Cliff considered a top 3 BIG center? He should be absolutely dominating the paint but instead this year has been a disappearing act

2 points and a bunch of silly fouls

 

[bac2therac]

No fg 6 minutes

Thats 2 6 minutes streches

12 minutes no fg out of 32 minutes

 

[darkcheck]

Program peaked March 2021

 

[ScarletDave]

There’s Gavin’s D you were all yelling about wanting to see

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

Thank God we focus on D!!! Atrocious half on both ends

 

[RedTeam1994]

game over. now the refs can call it even the rest of the game

Will call some garbage fouls on MSU with less than 4 minutes and game over and some moron on this board (we know who) will cite that as evidence that game was called fairly

 

[G- RUnit]

Silly foul calls by officiating and they almost took out his nuts?

I know we do, but as you point out it the coaches job to make sure players are executing it and not just reading about it.

 

[gigantor1024]

what a waste of time

 

[RU848789]

Demand is a better word.

I can agree with that...

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

36-35

19-0 run over 5 minutes

54-36

Terrible

 

[MCKnight2004]

That’s why Gavin can’t play. He’s soft, can’t even fight thru a screen.

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

Give Gavin minutes and let him learn. It can’t be any worse than the garbage Pike is rolling out there

 

[FIJI'83]

Guards and Center generate no scoring. Cliff only took 3 shots in game making 1. Cliff probably believes he made a mistake coming back to team.

Yeah focus on refs after 19-0 run when RU was winning..do it

 

[sct1111]

As far as I'm concerned this year is just a try out for next year's team. Only one who has locked down a starting position with Ace and Dylan is Mag.

 

[NickRU714]

There’s Gavin’s D you were all yelling about wanting to see

He was screened and Davis didn't help.

 

[Scangg]

Didn't take long for Gavin to get dunked on

Last game I watched was Iowa putting on an offensive clinic

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

2 points and a bunch of silly fouls

Cliff has no offensive basketball ability unless Mulcahy is setting him up perfectly for slams

 

[bac2therac]

Credit Sparty and Izzo...this isnt all Rutgers just being woeful

 

[bitnez]

That’s why Gavin can’t play. He’s soft, can’t even fight thru a screen.

Plenty of guys on this team getting minutes are soft.

 

[Sweet Peas Corner]

Pike feeling the heat after this season

 

[PatrickRU92]

Yeah focus on refs after 19-0 run when RU was winning..do it

bullsh!t yes we have played yet another bad stretch but the one sided officiating COMPLETELY chnaged this game.

 

[darkcheck]

Where’s Hawk, I need the re-explanation of how we’re better. Lay it out like I’m five years old cause I’m a little confused.

 

[RUBlackout]

I know we do, but as you point out it the coaches job to make sure players are executing it and not just reading about it.

Exactly!!! All on coaches here

 

[BOCA93]

Lol, MSU big, kohler (#0) just runs around the paint on O crashing into ppl. If it wasn’t so ridiculous it would be funny.

 

[darkcheck]

Pike feeling the heat after this season

Give Knight the job

 

[RUbacker]

Give Gavin minutes and let him learn. It can’t be any worse than the garbage Pike is rolling out there

Seasons done. We cant score .

 

[Plum Street]

This team stinks

 

[ScarletDave]

game over. now the refs can call it even the rest of the game

Yep MSU now has more fouls. 3 straight calls on MSU

 

[Degaz-RU]

Izzo switched up the offense in the 2nd half. This weave is fast and creating open looks.

Plus we suck on offense.

 

[Sweet Peas Corner]

Pike being schooled. Peaked 2 years ago. Time to move on possibly. Being outcoached...it' a trend

 

[FIJI'83]

Cliff has no offensive basketball ability unless Mulcahy is setting him up perfectly for slams

He would be much more effective on another team with effective guards and scorers.

 

[RUIvyKnight20]

We’re probably going to lose, but would love to see this team make one last run instead of just lay down and quit

 

[darkcheck]

WORST OFFENSE IN POWER SIX

 

[Degaz-RU]

First time refs called pushoff by MSU

 

[G- RUnit]

Mag right! Why is that official making that call and not the official right next to him.

Officiating matters.

 

[S.W.A.I.N]

You’re the worst.
