Official RU vs. Pitt Game Thread

[RUTrack94]

Finally hit a three ... 1-6 in the 2nd half

 

[bethlehemfan]

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

No they stink.

 

[Rutgers25]

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

Agree...it’s recruiting. But his lack of recruiting is increasing the importance of showing major progress on the court this year.

 

[BillyC80]

Yeboah with the big 3 to keep us in range. Need stops now.

 

[ancienthooper]

Myles will be a very good player but he has to lose some of that “California Cool” and get tougher.

 

[JQRU91]

We could have five players score double digits and lose by ten plus this game.

 

[brad1218]

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 not the defense. The rules are set up for offense now. You have to be able to score to win. We stink on offense. I really like Pike but the Pike era is almost over.

 

[fluoxetine]

No they stink.

Yeah, to be fair, Pitt sucks. That's what makes this so bad.

 

[Joey Bags]

Why the hell are Yeboah’s minutes so low?

 

[RUby RED]

Don’t see how this is a group remotely capable of postseason play this year or next

He's going to get six years, which he should. But I'm far less optimistic he does anything to warrant another extension than I was even a month ago.

 

[RUJMM78]

Another road game where Rutgers will have a difficult time scoring 60 points.

 

[B0ski]

Worst game Caleb has had all year. Looks out of it.

 

[DHajekRC84]

My phone battery is about as dead as this team seems tonight. Battery saver mode.

Hoping for a shocking results on re start...lol.

Frankly, not surprised we may lose. Was a toss up game and we're weak in those.

 

[rutgers333]

This team misses Eugene.

 

[King of S]

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

In Pike we trust.

 

[greenknight]

The problem with this team is that we have like 8 guys that are essentially the same player and usually 4 of them are in at the same time at any given time. The only player out there that is different is Myles Johnson

 

[bac2therac]

and we still have a chance actually

 

[Mr Magoo]

We have more talent than Pitt. This team needs a “come to Jesus” moment. We are outhustled, unprepared, outcoached, and way softer than Pitt.

 

[BillyC80]

Down 8 with 4:00 to go.

 

[bac2therac]

all we need is a couple of stops

 

[BillyC80]

There’s the dagger.

 

[bac2therac]

We have more talent than Pitt. This team needs a “come to Jesus” moment. We are outhustled, unprepared, outcoached, and way softer than Pitt.

I disagree...our talent is waaaaaaay overrated

 

[kcg88]

Someone explain to me how EVERY TEAM IN THE ****ING COUNTRY MAKES THAT MOMENTUM THREE IN THE CORNER except us.

 

[RU Mike73]

REBOUND dammit

 

[bac2therac]

hold everything..only down 7...big stop here

 

[Rutgers25]

and we still have a chance actually

Umm, no

 

[Mr Magoo]

I disagree...our talent is waaaaaaay overrated

overrated but still better than Pitt IMO. This Pitt team is not good at all.

 

[G- RUnit]

Awful D by Harper but let’s let’s boo Young. Comical!

 

[ColonelRutgers]

then we stand around let them run the clock down and leave a guy wide open at the foul line. Great defensive strategy.

 

[greenknight]

We suck defensively

 

[Caliknight]

We. Need.Shooters.

 

[TheKidFromRahway]

Awful D by Harper but let’s let’s boo Young. Comical!

Young stinks, just accept it

 

[kcg88]

We're gonna make this margin of defeat just small enough for people to delude themselves into blaming the refs.

 

[RW90]

Eh, waited 28 years, what's a few more?

 

[BillyC80]

Need a three and a stop to have a chance. Or an And 1

 

[RUsojo]

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

It’s one game and Pikiell is a notorious slow starter IMO he doesn’t figure out rotations til game 2 or 3 of conference play every year

 

[jordkap]

Pitts terrible players making huge shots

 

[kcg88]

Awful D by Harper but let’s let’s boo Young. Comical!

Harper doesn't throw the ball directly to the other team on half of his possessions.

 

[fluoxetine]

Awful D by Harper but let’s let’s boo Young. Comical!

u retarded or smtn?
