Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers Basketball falls to No. 14 Illinois 86-63

[ClassOf02]

Do not understand why Oskar gets these minutes.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Rutgers was going to lose either way.
But the crowd cheering an “alleged” rapist is disgusting.

Sick

 

[RUChoppin]

Palmquist... sigh...

 

[fatsam98]

Oskar makes so many terrible plays and the occasional good one. He's always very noticeable one way or the other

 

[RUisB1Gtime]

This team is well coached..you can see it...Pike can't shoot the ball for the players..

 

[bac2therac]

Cant play a D game on the road against a top 15 team and expect to win

 

[BillyC80]

It looked like Oskar’s pass was in the right place for Hyatt to jam it. Damn.

 

[rucoe89]

We are are the absolute opposite of athletic.

 

[PatrickRU92]

We're just an awful shooting team. It's a simple game - if you can't shoot, you're not going to win. We've had great shots, but can't even hit the easy ones.

bottom line

we're going to hear about thing s like missing a rebound, or not rotating on defense, or who is playing and who isn't but the bottom line is we CAN'T F*CKING SHOOT.

 

[Scangg]

That's on Hyatt IMO. Good pass. Hyatt turned the wrong way away from the rim. If he runs out towards the basket that's an easy buckets

 

[RUBlackout]

Bad coaching when it comes to player utilization and subs

 

[The RUT]

It’s like Pike is just throwing shit at the wall with that. There’s zero evidence to suggest that group would do well.

 

[Scangg]

It looked like Oskar’s pass was in the right place for Hyatt to jam it. Damn.

That's bc it was

 

[bitnez]

Noah drives and scores so next possession he settles for a step back early possession 3. Your 2023/24 Scarlet Knights

 

[Scangg]

Noticeable that even after 2 made 3's last game, everyone gets a try but Gavin. Goode is a matchup he should be able to handle on D

 

[BOCA93]

Ugh, this is literally a repeat of the first IL game. Missing every shot and getting dominated on the glass.

 

[RAC93]

That's on Hyatt IMO. Good pass. Hyatt turned the wrong way away from the rim. If he runs out towards the basket that's an easy buckets

Agreed, Oskar had the right idea as we can’t score in the half court. Have to try and get as many points in transition as possible.

Your grading is too generous.

 

[Scangg]

Illinois isn't shooting well if Rutgers can stop giving up layups and offensive rebounds...

 

[pd10124]

Can we please never have 5’10 Noah guarding 6’7 Shannon ever again please

 

[bethlehemfan]

Derek that pull-up is a joke

 

[RUChoppin]

Simpson needs to delete that shot choice from his brain

 

[bitnez]

It’s unbelievable what a poor shooting team we are.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Travel???

 

[rucoe89]

I recall Coaches teaching players to follow their shots. Is that no longer a thing? Just seeing Simpson admire his missed shot made me wonder.

 

[Scangg]

Mag had a rough start. Let's see if he can get it going

More touches for Hyatt

 

[PatrickRU92]

Travel???

no. Illinois.

 

[MadRU]

Wow. Illinois loves them some rapists huh.

Now I know what me too means. Me two minutes on the bench.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

9 seconds not called on Illi lol

 

[RUJMM78]

There isn't one Rutgers player with a pulse on offense.

 

[bac2therac]

Illinois is getting anything they want offense

They are working hard..impressed

Rutgers settles..illinois doesnt

 

[BillyC80]

No travel on Danja?

 

[Mr Magoo]

We should get a point when we hit the rim.

 

[BossNJ]

We shoot like we just picked up a basketball for the first time 10 minutes before game time.

It’d be tough to find a worse shooting D1 team. Why does this plague us year after year????

Simply awful

 

[bitnez]

Is Derek for real today?

 

[FrankZ]

4-17 lol

 

[fatsam98]

Ffs. Well it's almost time for our "down-huge-on-the-road" run

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Unwatchable and embarrassing. So far. ZERO fracking teamwork.

 

[ClassOf02]

Is boxing out still a thing for us?

 

[bac2therac]

Ok this is the time that our opponents start falling asleep and we comeback
