Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers Basketball falls to Nebraska 67-56

[bac2therac]

I fully acknowledge that I’m saying this in the moment of severe frustration, but Cliff’s whining anytime a play doesn’t go his way annoys the f out of me.

You arent alone

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

And a douche. You can be talented and a douche. They aren’t related!

yeah well I wish we had a guy we could try to reel in. I get ya but give me a douche right now . We can cut him later.

 

[soundcrib]

the Simpson misses from close and the disgraceful offensive rebounding are hurting my eyes

He's so selfish, not only does he not want to pass to Gavin, he doesn't even want to give Gavin an assist.

 

[fluoxetine]

He is having fun

I think it would be fun to kick him in the nuts

 

[RuBird]

Let me correct the announcers. Nebraska is not winning every loose ball………Rutgers is loosing every loose ball.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Pikiell is too loyal to Simpson who can’t shoot a bunny or a jump shot.

31% for the season and 28% from 3. Just brutal

 

[greenknight]

Cliff you cant board at top of key. There is a reason that dude has 13 boards 7 offensive. If you are down low your under the basket. The only thing you are getting under the basket is the ball going thru the net to throw b as ck into play. Get 4 ft from the basket box out and own the dam boards

 

[fluoxetine]

I mean I said I’d take him. I’m fine winning with douche power.

 

[G- RUnit]

Selfish Simpson another nice pass.

Ruins narrative. 🦗

 

[robjknight]

And again under the basket miss by Derek.
We can’t rebound and can’t make layups, 3’s and short jumpers. Letting Hyatt play in the second half was a coaching mistake. Not playing Wolf and Cliff together was a mistake.
Allick up to 7 fouls and still in game

 

[RU Mike73]

Kevin kugler is the original Cornhusker homer

In fact he is. Born in Omaha and UNL alum. Good call

 

[mildone]

Bet an elbow to the face would stop him

Seems a bit mean-spirited. He’s a hell of a player. Has done nothing to warrant antipathy. Not that I’ve seen.

 

[RUinOhio]

Feel bad for Cliff for playing w these scrubs

He has 2 boards

 

[soundcrib]

Gavin 2 blocks.

 

[Shelby65]

Lost in the Simpson missed layup was Gavin unselfishly giving up an open 3 to make the pass to wide open Simpson despite Simpson never looking for him

agreeing with ‘selfish’ finally ?

 

[bitnez]

Remember when a lot from people said Gavin couldn’t play defense?

 

[fluoxetine]

Selfish Simpson another nice pass.

Ruins narrative. 🦗

Dude wake me up when he shoots over 40 ****ing percent.

 

[Scangg]

Well at least Simpson made the shot that won the Stonehill game.

"Still on a sophomore!"

Its a trend

It's been about 90% of games this season shooting wise

Derek doesn’t need to transfer. There’s a role for him on this team next year. It’s up to Pike to start making tough decisions.

There isn't a role for both him and Davis I don't think from a roster construction perspective. We only need 1 guard who plays tough D hustles etc but isn't a good shooter

We need a guard who can shoot next year

 

[Degaz-RU]

And the Simpson hits just keep on coming

 

[fluoxetine]

Seems a bit mean-spirited. He’s a hell of a player. Has done nothing to warrant antipathy. Not that I’ve seen.

I am mean, what can I say?

Second team defensive guy. That’s his role.

 

[newell138]

How does a D1 player shoot 39% on FTs?!?!?

 

[Rufaninga]

We need a shooting coach.

 

[robjknight]

Sorry but Simpsons defense doesn’t offset his poor offense tonight

 

[mildone]

He is having fun

Yep. His effort level and court awareness are elite. I’m actually enjoying watching him play because of his obvious love of the game.

 

[ClassOf02]

How does a D1 player shoot 39% on FTs?!?!?

And a guard no less…was just about to post the same thing.

 

[Scangg]

Dude wake me up when he shoots over 40 ****ing percent.

4 times all season

 

[shields]

Austin is brutal from line.

 

[RU Mike73]

Selfish Simpson another nice pass.

Ruins narrative. 🦗

Thanks Mrs. Simpson.

 

[fluoxetine]

How does a D1 player shoot 39% on FTs?!?!?

I’m pretty sure I could do better than that and I literally do not play basketball

 

[soundcrib]

Derek Simpson is like 2 for 53.

 

[koleszar]

Simpson is just going to keep hoisting them , 2-10 be damned.

 

[Shell21]

bad foul shooting continues

 

[BigEastPhil]

Nebraska is a one and done in tourney.
Had we been able to shoot even decently, we win this game handily.

 

[aplus29]

STOP SHOOTING DEREK…kick it to GG

 

[ancienthooper]

Seems a bit mean-spirited. He’s a hell of a player. Has done nothing to warrant antipathy. Not that I’ve seen.

Not sure about antipathy but he’s definitely a douche.

 

[fluoxetine]

Derek Simpson is like 2 for 53.

That good?

 

[robjknight]

Sorry but Simpsons defense doesn’t offset his poor offense tonight

 

[ClassOf02]

It’s cool Derek. Keep shooting those terrible 8 footers. No need to reverse the ball back towards GG or anything.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Simpson Hyatt 3-17
