Basketball INSTANT REACTION: Rutgers falls to Mississippi St. 70-60 in Gotham Classic

[RUz91]

Losing bad to fing miss state who just isn't that good. Wow

 

[tm_nj]

gulp. it’s not looking good right now

 

[fatsam98]

Oskar somehow does worse in his 2 minute cameo than last game.

Why on earth was he even in down 7 or so at this point in the game. I despair

 

[Mr Magoo]

Oskar “Dead wood” Palmquist

That was so pathetic. Stuffed and then spun around like a little kid before he fell. Ugh.

 

[PatrickRU92]

Simpson 0/8. The rest aren’t as bad.

2 threes is NOT going to cut it.

 

[RUby RED]

Absolutely zero fight or toughness

Really not sure it’s about fight or toughness. We’re just a poorly constructed team. Undersized all across the floor, it is what it is

 

[Shell21]

cliff on the bench while they go on an 8-0 run.

 

[fluoxetine]

Airball was nauseating

Thought that was blocked.

 

[runner3283]

Waiting for Griffiths to break out of freshman nerves. For a highly rated recruit, he’s been disappointing IMO

Ain’t happening.

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers can't shoot even in front of a friendly crowd.What is going to happen at Ohio State and Iowa during the first week of January?

2 double digit losses

 

[FmrMgrRU]

I don’t understand the rebounding. How is this that glaringly lopsided every game? Even LIU was crashing the boards against us.

 

[FrankZ]

Me: “Oh just hoist the 3”

Oskar: “OK”

Me: “I was kidding”

🤦‍♂️

 

[gigantor1024]

Why does this shit always happen to us. **** these neutral court games man

 

[NickRU714]

Hyatt and Williams just standing around for a dunk.

 

[RocktheRac]

At this point, just put Peter Kiss in

Is Sheridan cleared yet?

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Nobody showed up today

 

[RUby RED]

Losing bad to fing miss state who just isn't that good. Wow

Tournament team last year and likely tournament team again this year? Were ranked in the top 25 a couple weeks back

 

[gmay8]

So painfully offensively challenged. Game after game. Season after season. Forever and ever and ever. Just gross offensive basketball always and forever.

 

[koleszar]

Hes the least of this teams troubles

Nor is he as good as advertised, he's kind of fit right in with Team Underachievement.

 

[nukem]

Simpson is just too inconsistent
You can have this many low percentage shooting games. It’s a lot to overcome

I think Simpson is pretty consistent. That is pretty consistent at shooting poorly.

Pike has to reign him in on the offensive end.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Any physical team is going to beat us

 

[bac2therac]

Oskar somehow does worse in his 2 minute cameo than last game.

Why on earth was he even in down 7 or so at this point in the game. I despair

Because everyone else sucked

Oskar shouldnt even be put in the position of bailing out this team

 

[mikemarc1]

Physically manhandled too

 

[Mr Magoo]

Worse.

Simpson capitalized by coming in a last year to spell our big slow guards as a change of pace. This year he’s exposed as just a weak guard who really isn’t all that quick.

 

[robjknight]

3 of cliffs 4 foul calls were bullshit

With that said - he needs to be smarter

Calls were questionable, but Pike should have pulled him after 3

 

[Nycrusupporter]

I don’t understand the rebounding. How is this that glaringly lopsided every game? Even LIU was crashing the boards against us.

We are small and no one boxes out.

 

[FrankZ]

Oh good grief Austin. Sigh

 

[RUby RED]

Austin Williams lol

 

[NickRU714]

Williams just another blind drive to the hoop for a contested and blocked layup.

Do we practice these?
Is it a play we call?
It fant be coincidence that every guard we have does this.

 

[bac2therac]

34-17 run

 

[Degaz-RU]

MSU 14-16 FTs

 

[biazza38]

This whole thing is the product of transfer portal madness. Too much roster turnover

 

[RUOtBOtOR]

This conference season is going to be tough to watch.

 

[runner3283]

Hyatt and Williams just standing around for a dunk.

It’s official. We stink

 

[bac2therac]

8 points in 10 and half minutes

 

[FrankZ]

We’re just a poorly constructed team.

Agreed and the shooting is pathetic

 

[Rokodesh]

Oscar and Austin shouldn't play at all this game.

 

[BOCA93]

Thankfully Davis not hurt

 

[biazza38]

Thank goodness we beat Seton Hall this year.
Maybe we get 5 conference wins this year.
We’re just so bad offensively

 

[Shell21]

cliff comes back when we’re already out of the game. poor coaching
