This is who he is. Because the message board says he’s the best doesnt make it true.
its not unfocused. its that we can't score points. We make a mistake like a TO and its magnified because 5 point leads are like a mountain to overcome
He's a good ball handler just doesn't have much strength. He needs to use his body more. Strength and conditioning is huge for him this off season.
Saw no minutes from Sa or Doucoure, and maybe two minutes from Thiam in the first half. Extensive minutes from Dadika. Omoruyi seeing time at center....
And only down 5 at the half.
Need Thiam in the second half... better defensive minutes and a threat to score, rather than Dadika.
Rough not having Sa for a second game against these guys. I think his defense would be good on 43.
Any idea why we haven't seen Doucoure?

You know why Sa not in. But you're right. Where is Doucoure? And Geo has been battling the flu. There is still no excuse to not win this game. We're home. It's senior day, and this team embarrassed us at their place. We cannot let an equally shitty team sweep us.
Yeah, I know why with Sa... still rough to lose the center who gets the most minutes. Don't think 43 would be in double digits with him in.
I know Geo is still not fully healthy, too.
Last game, we lost Sa and Omoruyi for most of the game, and Freeman/Doucoure were limited with foul trouble. Again our bigs are limited.
It's a shame Sa couldn't play. And I agree with you. Their big would not be in double digits and this game should be tied at the least at halftime.
He was playing like this before the bug. Needs to get WAY stronger....
You're right. I think he hit the proverbial freshman wall. In the off season he's going to have to get stronger.
Geo didn’t have a BTen body to begin with. Add the flu and a 9 pound loss. The kid is gonna be a very good player.
Still laughable how some Rutgers fans are so touchy when a fan tells it like it is.Not our problem that those YOU mentioned were here for better or worse.Everyone shouldn’t get a Trophy just for making the team.It will happen under Pike but is stil 2 years away.
Because Baker has more assists for Illinois than for us.
I understand what you are saying, I just do not think he is a PG at this level, especially against high pressure defenses. I have been saying that from early on, I like his game and the things he can do, I just don't see him as a point.
Mike Williams is not having a senior day to remember. Ted Valentine’s whistle is getting a workout. I guess Jake has officially passed Souf in the rotation.
