Basketball LIVE GAME THREAD: Rutgers vs. St. Bonaventure
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
We are playing like we did in the recent games towards the end of last season before Gene came back. It's like he's not here again to give us the toughness ice in the veins ... Oh wait
9-17 now at the free throw line in a game where we figure to go 30 times before this game is over
Like Pike a lot but soon has to take some responsibility for god awful shooting and even worse foul shooting. No more excuses. Harper has to do more than a bad three, a bad turnover, and two dumb fouls. How can Yeb and Young as upperclassmen be so poor from the line?
Pike has lost his luster in my book. Getting to at least .500 in his 4th year is not expecting much. Recruiting and developing of players over 2 years has not improved. Seat getting hot for Pike. He won't g anywhere due to Schiano but I'm not worried about a sub .500 coach getting poached.
listen we cant lament the loss of Eugene all season long and eventually this team will progress without him and learn to take on their own indentity....STILL his loss was downplayed but its glaringly on display through the first 4 games. Its an elephant in the room and its going to hamstring the overall success of the season...and yes as I said we will overcome it but its going to set this rebuild back a few losses
Ok let’s get some positive thoughts going. 13 points is nothing.
We need to recruit the twelve year old kid that was shooting free throws during the half time contest. He was draining all of them with a smooth left-handed stroke.
I like the offense the bonnies run. Not a fan of ours. We really don't stress the defense with our offensive set.
Too many missed foul shots. Their lead should be under 10.
Why is Baker launching a 3 early in the shot shot from over 26 feet away?

And 6-0 run to close the gap from 19 to 13 ... with 2 highlight reel blocks!!!!!
If only there was someone posting about how Pikiell wasn't getting the most out of the offense back when it was Sanders and Freeman.
Obviously the personnel needed upgrading but Pikiell seems incapable of coaching an offense up to its potential.

Fully agree. He should have been dominant against the teams we have played so far and he hasn’t been. He has been the tallest guy on the court most of the time and has disappeared. Heck, he got blocked a couple times against Bryant!
He’s picked up quick fouls in the last few games and sits for a while and then never gets into the flow of the game

Okay, bright side. Bonnies arent gonna continue to be unconscious from 3. Bad news? Pikiell has me concerned. His coaching has been subpar and thats me being nice about it. Peter kiss playing extended minutes? Jacob young having free reign? What happens when mcconnell is on the floor? Nothing but good things. Come on pike
When we were a tough D and rebounding team we were awesome and fun to watch. That was Pike's thing, D and rebounding and we'd get the shooters. We never could shoot besides Corey. Now that we don't play D anymore, what are we. Do we have a single offensive play in the playbook. And we miss Jay Young. Should have been in their contracts, no assistants can leave for HC jobs until we make the NCAAs at least once.
just win the game in 4 minute stretches....3-4 points each period..dont have to get it all back at once, St Bona may crack under pressure because they are young...
It's year 4 and Pikiell is losing to St. Bonaventure and losing every recruit that any other Big Ten school wants.
He needs to put up or shut up.
I don’t understand how Pikiell could be in year 4 and not have an offense in place. Everyone just stands around for 20 seconds and puts up wild shots with 5 seconds left in the shot clock.
