Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers Basketball falls to Wake Forest 76-57

[bac2therac]

This is a bad team. Spencer and Paul really screwed us.

Agree

 

[RU Mike73]

Where’s Matt Millen when you need him? These guys are horrible.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Cliff and Oskar miss chippies...Jesus...com'on fellas!

 

[zappaa]

Gotta love our version of taking the ball to the hoop.
It’s like no other

 

[Mholinko]

Cliff just line driving it at the hoop again... how

 

[RU MAN]

Cliff still doesn't understand that the backboard is your friend.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

No D, no O. All around soft. Cliff a joke.

These guys could put hookers ON blow to sleep!

 

[Nycrusupporter]

Cliff with his patented miss . . .

 

[Joey Bags]

it’s a miracle we played princeton and gtown as well as we did

 

[KingOfTheEast]

Absolute dog shit out there.

Like watching a middle school team

 

[RW90]

Hope Dylan used permanent ink.

 

[cm_13]

This team is a train wreck

 

[tm_nj]

we are going to get run out the gym if we don’t change something

 

[bac2therac]

They all dont play defense

 

[Mr Magoo]

Jordan-esque. Looks like rugby

 

[bac2therac]

This os such a soft team

 

[Jersey07712]

Why does the ACC allow Produce Pete to announce games?

 

[ScarletKid2008]

This is just a really bad team.
Zero offensive threat. Zero touch . No heart on defense. No toughness inside.

 

[tfio]

This is fun. Just really fun. I love the great offenses we get to watch every year by our Rutgers sports teams

 

[shields]

Wolf stinks.

 

[motel00]

it is hard to find a bright spot on this team. No identity on offense. No go to scorer. Poor defense all around. Can’t rebound. Can’t get out on the break. Can’t finish around the basket.

 

[RU Mike73]

Just WOW 😮

 

[dudehimself3]

Do we lose Dylan and Ace with the historically bad season ahead? I don’t know if we get to 10 wins. Talent is not there, and Pike isn’t a good coach.

 

[runner3283]

Absolute dog shit out there.

Like watching a middle school team

What are they practicing between games?

 

[RU MAN]

Pike, these slow starts and lack of offensive sets are really getting old, buddy. And for someone who stresses defense, how is it we leave so many outside shooters open from 3-point land to knock down shots? This isn't even a good Wake Forest team. What does that say about us?

 

[Degaz-RU]

We just have nobody on offense with any skill who can hit shots.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Why does the ACC allow Produce Pete to announce games?

He’s so bad..and their pre-game show was like a high school production. Just random people in jeans trying to talk about ACC sports.

 

[Nycrusupporter]

I should have known better and significantly lowered my expectations for the season when Pike decided to go with Hyatt as his primary option on offense . . .

 

[RU848789]

Putrid play so far in every facet of the game. The only one who looks interested in playing is Williams. I hate speculating, but this looks like a team with a chemistry problem on top of talent deficiencies and that's a recipe for blowouts. I hope I'm wrong about that.

 

[RUby RED]

Team has no alpha. Undersized, can’t shoot, virtually everyone is an inefficient scorer. Simpson doesn’t seem to have taken another step. Gavin doesn’t look ready to be a P5 starter. Cliff ineffective without better guard play. Hyatt the same maddening up-and-down player. Not expecting this offense to drastically improve this year

 

[zmon61]

I am sure it looks brutal on tv but it is worse in person. We just don’t have any offense and our small guards just can’t defend and why have 3 small guards in together?

 

[RUDivision]

What is coach doing? No chemistry, zero effort and heart. What happened to practicing with a 12 sec shot clock? If you play small you have to run. Pike can’t play like last year with these kids. Get it together

 

[zappaa]

I doubt they are slow starts, it’s how awful we are

 

[Nycrusupporter]

And what on earth is going on with this Wake Forest court? It is giving me a headache.

 

[mildone]

Where’s Matt Millen when you need him? These guys are horrible.

That’s funny because it’s very true. He’d be way better.

 

[rubjk]

Pathetic effort

It’s not effort it’s execution and no one driving to basket.

 

[RUfromNJ]

We can all take comfort in next year's recruiting class when this team finishes 13-17 (6-14)

 

[koleszar]

This team is fvcking horrible. We can't even in bounds a ball.

We’re an untalented team
