Loosing two of our best players in the last decade wasn’t going to affect us at all this year 🤷🏻♂️

But Pike sucks… can’t recruit for shit lolYup we closed on 2 top 50 players
LMAO being a troll is still an opinion. One that you belabor any chance you get. Come on my guy, you have to know your own schtickWhat is troll about it? What makes you think he's a good coach other than one tournament win? We underperformed to an alarming degree last year.
Apparently being a troll is something you don't want to hear. So if pike doesn't have more tournament wins in the next 3 years is it still a troll opinion?LMAO being a troll is still an opinion. One that you belabor any chance you get. Come on my guy, you have to know your own schtick
Pike has his flaws like most good coaches, but a “very low ceiling” is not accurate, imo. To wit, after literally decades of futility, 2 seasons ago he brought our team to within one blown dunk of the Sweet 16 and a very doable path to the Final 4. Would that have been a low ceiling? He put our program in that position.Hes a good coach, not a great coach. He definitely has flaws. He provides us with a high floor but very low ceiling. Frankly, i pray our football program can reach the high floor, low ceiling, competitive nature our bball program has turned into.
What i just said is the truth but anyone who says hes not coach K here gets blasted
So if he lands Harper along with griffiths and maybe one other would you still think our ceiling is low.Hes a good coach, not a great coach. He definitely has flaws.

reason we didn't go to sweet 16 is offense went into a prevent offense mode. That's why there's a low ceiling. Lack of offensePike has his flaws like most good coaches, but a “very low ceiling” is not accurate, imo.

So that means everyone loves the hockey coach?The Internet is the bane of college coaches existence.
You have thousands of unhappy fans and alumni when their team loses and between stock trades they have to post something.
It's just crazy.
At our place they hated Brian Kelly-----guy won 10 or more 5 straight years and got to Playoffs twice and they hated him because he didn't win the whole thing-----and then they hated him more when he left. :):)
The bust Mike Brey's balls constantly-----doesn't play enough guys .
Hey guys----this is the way he plays----6 or 7 guys----always has. He isn't changing now and he puts out pretty good teams at a place which is anything but a basketball hotbed.
So he prevented Myles from making that dunk?reason we didn't go to sweet 16 is offense went into a prevent offense mode. That's why there's a low ceiling. Lack of offense
Yes, we neglected to box out. That was another play that was poor execution by one of our guys (who is in the NBA now).I remember the missed foul shot and then houston made the three. That was a killer.
Hockey at our place only has 5,000 fansSo that means everyone loves the hockey coach?
Username checks out.I said it once and I’ll say it again. Pike Sucks.
He couldn't win a single tournament game with two of our best players in the last decade, a dynamic NBA prospect center and the big ten defensive player of the year. Think about that. They lost to a mediocre ND team.Loosing two of our best players in the last decade wasn’t going to affect us at all this year 🤷🏻♂️

Please don't talk about the final four seriously when all we did in that game was blow a big leadPike has his flaws like most good coaches, but a “very low ceiling” is not accurate, imo.

Lol dynamic nba prospect is a bit of a stretch (think he will still have a career in the NBA,) cliff wasn’t the cliff of this year, last year. Our defensive player of the year has been and will be injury prone. Again, before Pike, and not counting 2003 or 04, what sustained success or better track record are you used to with a Rutgers basketball coach? To steal from the sopranos, you’re like an old lady with a Virginia ham under her arm who’s crying because she has no bread. He literally took a dumpster fire shit hole, and turned us into a program that is now getting looks from top 100 kids and is making the tournament. Yes he needs an offense… but he also needs kids that can shoot and run the offense. IMHO the ‘23 and the ‘24 classes will quell all this bullshit whiningHe couldn't win a single tournament game with two of our best players in the last decade, a dynamic NBA prospect center and the big ten defensive player of the year.

So he gets no credit for the team having a big lead to begin with, only for the team blowing it?Please don't talk about the final four seriously when all we did in that game was blow a big lead
Yea? Do you want a cookie for having been up big in a game we lost?So he gets no credit for the team having a big lead to begin with, only for the team blowing it?
I don't care how poorly managed we were.

They lost the game, yes. So why mention the lead they had at all, if it’s irrelevant?Yea? Do you want a cookie for having been up big in a game we lost?
It's a loss. That's all it is and all anyone outside of this message board will ever remember it being.
But hey, at least we were up in a game we lost. Let's build that statue.
Because it was a clinic on how to coach and lose a game you're up by a lot inThey lost the game, yes. So why mention the lead they had at all, if it’s irrelevant?
Meh. Losing an 11-pt lead in 13 minutes happens all the time in college basketball, even to the best coaches.Because it was a clinic on how to coach and lose a game you're up by a lot in

If we ever do make it to the final 4 under Pike I’m forbidding you to attendBecause it was a clinic on how to coach and lose a game you're up by a lot in
Oh, good. The ceiling/floor stuff. How tired. How tedious. How inaccurate.Hes a good coach, not a great coach. He definitely has flaws. He provides us with a high floor but very low ceiling.

Don’t think any message boards are above anything when frequented by so many as*hats. Not you, but in this circumstance sweeping generalizations should be allowed.child: learn the difference between an opinion and trolling. this is the round table...we're supposed to be above this crap
Its been true for 7 years. Its true until proven false. And tbh im more than ok with it. Our bball program is the equivalent to a 6-6/7-5 football program and id kill for thatOh, good. The ceiling/floor stuff. How tired. How tedious. How inaccurate.
I don't care how poorly managed we were. Making the tournament is not some huge deal.
"At Rutgers it is" is a BS response. We now make more money than most power five schools and we have one of the most fertile recruiting grounds in the United States to pick guys up from.
Other guys can win here and they can win more tournament games for what we are able to pay.
Whose fault is it for not developing cliff enough that he's NBA ready by year 2? At other schools with actual bigmen coaching he'd probably be demolishing guys. Mods harped about how this was a 2-3 year kid max and potential one and done. Pike is slowly transforming him into a 4 year basketball player before going pro, if he's even good enough by the end of year 4 to go to the NBA. Under pike, I certainly doubt it. He should have left for an NIL deal to a real coach with this poor supporting cast at Rutgers behind him
Teams are paying more attention to Reiber this year. No open uncontested 3s for him anymore. His stock is dropping almost as fast as FTX right now.The game is 40 minutes. No lead is safe. I didnt like some of the lineups out there. Reiber is in a complete fog this year. Miami has good guards and they cut into that lead very quickly. I love Pike. Every coach makes mistakes.
Btw, Creighton was 1-21 from 3 point range for most of their game tonight until a shooter got hot at the end and hit like 4 in a row. These were mostly uncontested 3 pointers and Creighton can shoot.
Imo, we are a better team than Miami. But you cant have lapses, especially on the road.
if you're trying to force an analogy, we're more like Iowa in football...very solid every year, and spike every once in a while (like coming in 4th last year and getting a double bye). That's much better than .500.Its been true for 7 years. Its true until proven false. And tbh im more than ok with it. Our bball program is the equivalent to a 6-6/7-5 football program and id kill for that
Quite frankly, anyone who thinks pike deserves a statue for winning one single NCAA tournament game has pathetic expectations. It's like people think it's hard to make the NCAA tournament with the talent in our area. Look at shu. Less money, more results.
Depaul.Umass and LafayetteWho did we lose early to last year?
You really need help.I said it once and I’ll say it again. Pike Sucks.
