RU vs Illinois Game Thread

[kcg88]

Been saying all along this is a long build job. Some of you just don’t want to accept it.

Build implies we should be getting better.

 

[SirPerceval]

un-watch-a-ble

 

[RU Mike73]

Freeman. Uuugh

We are loads better than last year on defense

Still have no offense.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

so when are the players coming...because I dont see any high impact difference makers...team right now full of complimentary players so without difference makers, when are we going to be good...if you think Peter Kiss and Myles Johnson are the answers you are fooling yourselves

Fire Pike then. I don’t know what to tell ya.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

oh, good, deshawn just picked up a T so now he has 3 fouls. Great leadership Captain.

 

[bac2therac]

yes the talent sucks but beyond that there some disturbing signs...excessive fouling...arguing with refs...senseless turnovers to a bad team, not bringing effort, no leadership

 

[RUJMM78]

Illinois bombing 3 pointers .lead 32-14 which has all the makings of being Rutgers worse performance all season.Team lacks motivation and any semblance of organization on the court.

 

[mikemarc1]

oh, good, deshawn just picked up a T so now he has 3 fouls. Great leadership Captain.

He is terrible

 

[Unionst]

Why can’t we even inbound the ball? That’s coaching.

 

[koleszar]

Eugene done, oh boy. This is going from bad to worse quickly:angry:

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Does. Pikiell ever get after any of the players? I mean getting em out and giving them the business. Don't necessarily mean Bob Knight but you can't always be mr nice guy players coach when you see some of the plays these guys are making.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

OMG, looks like something seriously wrong with Eugene.

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

oh, good, deshawn just picked up a T so now he has 3 fouls. Great leadership Captain.

Freeman isn't a leader.

 

[RocktheRac]

Looks like a knee blowout

 

[bac2therac]

Fire Pike then. I don’t know what to tell ya.

Fire Pike then. I don’t know what to tell ya.

not saying that but the point is he is not immune to criticism. I like Pike, but the talk here is almost like he is god, reality is we won 3 Big 10 games last year and may win the same 3 this year and finish in last..next year you are talking about the same just about....so slow down, yes we need to be patient, however we need to be realistic too...he needs to improve the recruiting big time and stop sugarcoating recruiting right now. RU needs ALOT and Pike made some mistakes by redshirting Johnson, not booting Bullock, taking Mensah and Kriss transfer...its killing us

 

[kcg88]

Omoruyi done for the year. See ya later with this team.

 

[bac2therac]

well just when it could not get worse...does not look good for Eugene

 

[ColonelRutgers]

I literally cannot watch anymore after this with Eugene. Goes from bad to disaster.

 

[Rutgers Rah]

well just when it could not get worse...does not look good for Eugene

Thought you turned the game off?

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

Dislocated knee cap, ****

 

[RocktheRac]

Refs fault?

 

[RocktheRac]

Gonna catch up on some ironing boys.

 

[SirScarlet]

As bad as we are, our fans are worse

 

[ejgonz]

Looks like a knee blowout

I was thinking ruptured achilles

 

[RocktheRac]

As bad as we are, our fans are worse

Well what has gone on for the past 26 years?

 

[sct1111]

As bad as we are, our fans are worse

Well I mean it is frustrating as hell being a fan of our basketball team.

 

[bac2therac]

As bad as we are, our fans are worse

yeah its our fault

 

[Mr Magoo]

It’s been all downhill since Seton Hall.

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

Knee to knee, definitely a dislocated knee cap, hoping that nothing is torn. Eugene is the heart of the team without mike on the floor

 

[RocktheRac]

I'll be long dead before this team makes the NCAA. At this point I'd be giddy at 500 before I'm in the ground.

 

[G- RUnit]

For all your Corey bashers he is still hustling, getting steals and rebounds.

 

[mikemarc1]

As bad as we are, our fans are worse

How so? I’d say the fans are pretty good. Sticking by a terrible team and a lackluster program for 20+ years.

They’ll be back next game to cheer the team on

 

[78CollegeAve]

Down 15, Sanders goes 1on 5 and then Baker fouls on a 3-pt heave. Stupidity, thy name is Rutgers.

 

[bac2therac]

for next year.....Mensah and Bullock need to be booted out. Juco guard brought in, hope to get lucky with a 5th year guy....I am not so high on Johnson so maybe review whats going on with that. This program needs an infusion of players who can contribute..they do not need roster spots or marginal talent playing

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Nice take to hole mensah.

 

[Freddy Stubbs]

This season has gone from enjoyable to unwatchable over the past few games. Starting to think no one will ever get it done here.

 

[rufeelinit]

If interested in a higher caliber of bad basketball you can switch to Knicks vs the Nets.

 

[higgins3]

Feel so bad for omoyuri. Probably my favorite player on the team. Huge loss.

 

[knightfan2000]

Losing Mike Williams was HUGE. There was a good bit of enthusiasm and some very good performances up to that point. We had no margin for error or losing players.

 

[RocktheRac]

On a side bar maybe Jordan was right comparing Nigel Johnson to Magic Johnson. Wish he was here
