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

Really frustrated with Mag man, totally understand if he’s injured but he’s ostensibly okay — feels like he’s gone in the spring. Pretty confident Gary wouldn’t have 11 if he was out there.

Liked Gavin out there, and holy cow Simpson doesn’t even look for him on the break. JWill the only modicum of consistency out there
 
24-12 deficit on the boards is terrible, especially since we outrebounded them by 15 or so the first game. 2-13 from three and we're still only down 12 - could be worse and we're by no means out of this one if we can just hit a few shots.

We don't put bodies on anyone
we have too many lineups.. past years everyone on the floor could guard anyone in a pinch... this year.. no. So we got some guys used to switching.. and a lot of guys who look lost. We just never found a 7-8 man rotation we could count on.

out with the shorter players and get back to the D with length and width... even though D is still ranked high.. we have had games where we get destroyed.
 
Simpson stinks period
we had something there last chance and yet he decides throw up another wild layup when there were other options. THAT is the problem with him He is too in love with his game and self. Nobody in charge of running an offense should be so. And that is also my issue with Pike. Any other coach says Stop with that crap.
 
Despite the rebounding differential, RU was +4 in shot attempts. Sometimes it’s just about making shots.
 
Just shoot 33% and game would be tied.
Think we should go with Wolf and Cliff together for some minutes. Sit Hyatt. He was 0 for 7 and terrible on defense .
Wolf has been the best RU player tonight.
We got to be at the bottom of conference on fast break layups. Need to come out and get back into the game in second half.

There has been some very minor indication of improvement. I wouldn't get too excited yet. We are at end of season. He still is very one dimensional player. I do think his D is slowly improving.
if you're talking goggles..he's blocking a lot of shots lately.
 
You can block a shot off the backboard as long as it's still on the way up especially if it's below the rim
Except it hit the backboard first, at the top of its arc. Should’ve been goaltending

just play Gavin over Hyatt at this point. Hyatt is straight garbage; is a me player. can’t rebound and can’t shoot at this point plus he won’t be here next year
 
what balls by Davis to wave off help.. he can't shoot at all.. how many times will we give him the ball with the clock getting low?

sure.. he works hard on defense.. but he may as well be playing D for the opponent when he is on offense
Selfish just like Miss-ter DSelfish
