Pathetic player management by Pike re: grant

There is absolutely no reason why Martini - the most overhyped portal add EVER- should have been playing at Grant’s expense. None. This game shows this. But player management is one of Pike’s worst flaws.
Capt dum dum, sometimes it takes a freshman a little time to get up to speed, not everyone can just step on the court and kill it immediately.

Not wrong but people quickly forget what wwe were told about Noah fernades. Portal is hype and that’s all it will ever be for us.

What were your thoughts on Martini when we landed him?

I bought the hype. Big time. What a dumb ass I was.:
Well I was in the strong minority that thought Martini was too small to play the 5 and too unatheltic to play the 4

I wanted a 3 and D player who could rebound at the 4 instead of a 3 and no D or rebound guy who turned into a mo 3 guy as well somehow

I've been wanting to see Grant over him all season

Major fail from Pike. He plays favorites and was trying to save face after Martini being a big off season starter captain who bombed
 
I’m done with my season tickets. The basketball is horrible & whoever is in charge
of the game entertainment is an absolute idiot. Coming out of the locker room like
a football team. Comparing the states NJ to Wisconsin is absolutely idiotic. It was embarrassing
because it showed how many Wisconsin fans there were in the building. The only positive was
the dog show.

Which dog show ? Derkack’s blatant forearm shiver as the only way can get an interior shot off, blind dribbling, bad passing and soft D? Or the halftime entertainment ? Please clarify.

You and me both

His rebounding numbers st Princeton was a major red flag, as well as his number of points inside of the three line

Listen, I'm on record for several years now calling Pike a horrible coach, but none of us knows why Grant hasn't played more - could be off court issues, academics, or a number of things. I won't knock him for that.
