Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers Basketball falls to No. 24 Illinois 76-58

[FrankZ]

Nothing like FTs to close the gap 🤦‍♂️

 

[biazza38]

Great start to the second half
What has Cliff done well today
I’ve honestly never seen someone play this poorly

 

[richthedentist]

Wolf playing better than Cliff

Cliff absolutely sucks personally responsible for this deficit

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Play Griffiths more

 

[FrankZ]

Wolf not set, but owed many from all the crap over the years

 

[richthedentist]

You absolutely cannot start Clif and Woolfolk together

 

[biazza38]

Terrible shot selection

 

[FrankZ]

There u go Cliff

 

[koleszar]

Do all our guys just watch the shot like it's a pretty rainbow in the sky. Instead of crashing the boards.

 

[FrankZ]

Twin towers in and can’t board

 

[rufeelinit]

Despite the turnover, embarrassing defensive sequence for Hyatt.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Team can’t hit shots

 

[Mr Magoo]

The rebounding is the worst I’ve seen on a pIke coached team

 

[bac2therac]

Sigh..so many chances

This game winnable but not stepping up

 

[RUinOhio]

hawkins huge walk WTF

 

[bac2therac]

Austin Williams needs to get back in

 

[njxchange]

take Noah out and put Jmike in

 

[koleszar]

Woolfolk for 3 is not something you want to hear.

 

[NickRU714]

Was it tipped??

 

[FrankZ]

Wolf 3 I mean geez

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

omg. self pass... tewatched.. shoulda been jump ball.. but he did lift his pivot begorevtaking off

 

[Mr Magoo]

Get Fernandes out of the game. He’s a side show right now

 

[richthedentist]

You are playing 4 v 5 on offense at the start of each half

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Rebounding is simply disgraceful.

 

[dudehimself3]

Same garbage lineup that sucked in the first half. Pike is an awful coach

 

[FinalFourOrBust]

Pike just happy to keep posting up cliff and letting wolf shoot threes. Kinda like he’s punting on the season.

 

[bac2therac]

We have no half court offense

 

[FrankZ]

Threw away 4.5 minutes with Williams on pine. This lineup ain’t it

 

[ClassOf02]

Stop with this lineup. Multiple games in a row tell us it doesn’t work.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Lack of good Shooting is the main problem

 

[richthedentist]

Sigh..so many chances

This game winnable but not stepping up

Starting line up each half about minus 20!!

 

[koleszar]

This lineup sucked in the 1st half Pike and sucks again. What did you think would change?

 

[scarletrock]

I think we are wearing out Illinois' legs.

 

[RAC93]

Pike is having a REALLY BAD DAY…..A Williams should have started the 2nd half

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Wolf should never be chucking 3s

 

[mildone]

We have no half court offense

That’s right. We have whole court offense.

 

[BOCA93]

Illinois crashing the glass with all 5 every possession. So many 2nd chance shots. These guards need to start boxing out

 

[AreYouNUTS]

You can see them getting the offensive rebound the MOMENT it leaves their shooter's hands.

 

[biazza38]

Does Pike ever make line up adjustments or does he just go with his predetermined line up. Puzzling way to start the half
Also who the heck is our PG?
This team doesn’t make sense.
No one has a role

 

[Mr Magoo]

It’s the bizarro world. The second team should be the actual starters
