Official RU vs. Pitt Game Thread

[ColonelRutgers]

Run the clock down to work Harper for a long air ball. We stink.

 

[kcg88]

Rutgers down 9 with 2:00 to go just took 25 seconds to get a shot up.

 

[Caliknight]

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

That would be great. If they could shoot.

 

[Mr Magoo]

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

Refs had nothing to do with this.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Brutal ball game.

 

[RUJMM78]

Myles Johnson has played a good game around the basket.Baker good first half and then disappearing act in the second half.

 

[G- RUnit]

Nce airball Harper! Let’s rip Young!

 

[ScarletteK80]

and another thing, why do they all look so winded?? Putrid conditioning?

 

[fluoxetine]

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

The assessment isn't based on just one game. I will grant you we looked putrid until like mid-January last yr too but I'm not sure that's much of a defense.

 

[RUDead]

Offense is putrid.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I disagree...our talent is waaaaaaay overrated

Unfortunately this

 

[ColonelRutgers]

5 turnovers from Geo.

 

[greenknight]

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

Losing by 9 going to be 11 we are not better than Pitt what are you smoking

 

[RUby RED]

Nce airball Harper! Let’s rip Young!

Bruh Young sucks

 

[kcg88]

Refs had nothing to do with this.

100% agree but just you watch tomorrow what people are posting.

 

[bethlehemfan]

10 win team playing like this.

 

[BillyC80]

Ugly.

 

[jerzeyguy]

Team so soft. Geo not even tryna make a play

 

[sct1111]

Can't shoot.

 

[G- RUnit]

Another Airball by Harper! Let’s boo Young!

 

[sherepower]

Pitt sucks. This will be the easiest road game against a real team this year.

Pitt starts 1 freshman 4 sophomores

 

[RUJMM78]

How prepared is Rutgers for B1G competition?

 

[fluoxetine]

100% agree but just you watch tomorrow what people are posting.

The refs were awful and it could've mattered but it didn't because we played like dog shit.

We get it Mr. Young

 

[Shell21]

Gio was awful after the first few minutes . Can’t win road games with your most experienced player playing lousy and turning it over . Also 0 points gm for Caleb and young isn’t going to cut it

 

[Mr Magoo]

I just dropped my prediction by about 3 games. We stink right now. That game could make your eyes bleed.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Young didn't play much in the end and we were just as pathetic.

 

[Caliknight]

Basketball is a scoring game. We simply can’t do it.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Pitt starts 1 freshman 4 sophomores

They had a junior and a senior starting and they suck

Young literally the worst player in all of D1, like mid-tier D2 at best.

 

[RW90]

Bac and kyk might as well repost any recap from last year. Seen this rerun all too often.

 

[bac2therac]

a bunch of role players it is turning out.....the same thing we had under Rice and Hill except we had Rosario and Mack who could hit 3s, I would put this team right now below some of the Hill years

 

[Mr Magoo]

Team so soft. Geo not even tryna make a play

soft. soft. soft.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Young literally the worst player in all of D1, like mid-tier D2 at best.

wow. Lol.

 

[RUBlackout]

They were looking ahead to Michigan State...hahaha

Seriously, just dont see much progression in the team from last year. I am not sure what others are seeing here and maybe I am missing something.

Very undisciplined team
FT shooting is abysmal
No offensive strategy
Very loose with the ball creating turnovers for the other team

 

[RUTrack94]

OK ... try to be positive ... broke 60 on the road ... had a lead in the 2nd half ... no one injured ... still early in the season

 

[zazoo2002]

Pike's rotation choices have to be very demoralizing to the team. Hot hands get pulled. Young continues to get way too many minutes. I just don't get it. Short of a complete turnaround this year - I just don't see it happening unfortunately.

has any single player improved?

i guess the lame excuse of being young doesn't apply when the opponent showed more maturity.

Passing was a joke. Not strong with the basketball at all.
