Official RU vs. Pitt Game Thread

[B0ski]

With Pikes decisions on who plays his gushing praise of Hobbs is starting to make more sense.

 

[fluoxetine]

Another awful shot by NBA bound Harper but let’s rip Young. Smh

I mean I'm not sure I've ever seen Young do anything good. To be fair I haven't watched every minute of every game.

 

[RUTrack94]

McGowens 4 fouls ...

 

[brookdale-soda]

Its difficult to catch up without 3 point shooters.Pitt pulling away 56-45.

And they'll never make 3s when they just chuck the ball at each other. Even if we have shooters, were making them swim upstream.

 

[RUsojo]

Put yeboah in for Johnson run and see what happens

 

[mikemarc1]

If Schiano revives football like CVS seems to be doing with womens bball...recruiting wins, etc...Pike is gonna start to feel real heat to step it up real fast. He's gonna lag as be the wrong sport standing out again.

i don’t see what the fascination is with Pike.

good guy who seems to bleed Rutgers, but what has he accomplished in 4 years?

He's better than Jordan. That's it basically.

 

[rufan4ever]

I feel like I've been watching the same team for 30 years. Completely non-competitive on the road. No shooters, no offensive cohesive. Turnovers. But we're building. Yeah right.

Yup, sorry to say this but Pike's seat going to start getting very hot next season.
Unless our recruiting really picks up, next year will be no better.

 

[fluoxetine]

Not only are we losing we are doing it so slowly smh

 

[bac2therac]

hey their flop sucked and got them t'd

already made we can win

 

[ScarletteK80]

I need to bitch slap the Pitt coach.

 

[Rutgers25]

Can’t believe Capel is arguing the flop

 

[RUJMM78]

i agree with your assessment.Road games are the albatross of the mens basketball program for decades.The team still doesn't have the go to shooter that can actually lead the team to wins.Pitt stinks which makes this game even harder to watch.

 

[BillyC80]

How is it Pitt ball?

 

[RUTrack94]

Within 9 ...

 

[kcg88]

Even Pitt can hit wide open threes.

He's gotten some v good kids, won more league games, had an impressive MSG tourney...but its all about not level.

Personally wishing him well, but I'm not for a slow march forward. Hoping football shows the value of coaching investment.

 

[JQRU91]

Young needs to find his seat pronto.

He needs to be glued to the bench.

 

[fluoxetine]

These rules are the dumbest shit ever.

 

[bac2therac]

Myles should have dunk and weak sauce loses it out of bounds...this is why we need better recruiting

 

[tfio]

Can Myles hold onto an effing ball for once jesus christ

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Mathis should not be shooting threes. Do the other team a favor by that.

 

[kcg88]

Even Pitt can hit wide open threes.

And then Mathis... nope.

 

[PatrickRU92]

pitt (and every other team in the universe) with the open 3 from the side--bury

RU--we never make it. EVER

 

[BillyC80]

Crazy turnover by Myles. Not our night.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Myles should have dunk and weak sauce loses it out of bounds...this is why we need better recruiting

But unfortunately that's out the window.

 

[Rutgers25]

The recruiting is incredibly disappointing and will be Pike’s undoing.

 

[fluoxetine]

we are a joke. last year was a fluke

 

[bethlehemfan]

Putrid

This was always going to take 6-7 years don’t jump off the bandwagon now everybody just because you set expectations too high.

The biggest cause for concern is recruiting not the product in the floor

 

[ColonelRutgers]

As bad as Young has been, McConnell has been absolutely dreadful in this game. As responsible as anyone for this disaster.

 

[RUTrack94]

RU ... chance to beat anyone at home ... lose to anyone on the road.

 

[PatrickRU92]

I know I know you guys are going to tell me its the defense right?

no one makes f***ing shots for us.

Do you think "at least as good as last year" is too high for expectations? Because as of now we are significantly worse.

 

[sct1111]

Carry.

 

[rufan4ever]

pitt (and every other team in the universe) with the open 3 from the side--bury

RU--we never make it. EVER

maybe we don't have guys who can shoot.

 

[bac2therac]

Capel in his 2nd year took over a ridiculously bad Pitt and now probably has them possibly competing on the bubble for a ncaa bid this year while Pikiell has RU feasting on the likes of Niagara while the fans act like beating SF Austin was some groundbreaking moment in the program

 

[B0ski]

Rutgers back to being a football school I guess.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

I know I know you guys are going to tell me its the defense right?

no one makes f***ing shots for us.

It's both. We're getting our doors blown off again. Losing is one thing. Being down double digits consistently is just demoralizing.

 

[RUChoppin]

McConnell hasn't scored any points, but our offense has flowed better with him in the game instead of Young. The ball sticks in Young's hands and doesn't move. Neither have any points, though
