RU vs Illinois Game Thread

[Mr Magoo]

Getting outhustled just like when Jordan was here. We quit.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Think he is just hitting a wall physically, came out hot past two games and then every shot after 5 minutes is short. He hit the wall

Its not his shot but his decision making and recent carelessness. Team appears to be having more effect on him than him on team

 

[RocktheRac]

The days of losing by 30 should be over. And that were to teams like Michigan St Ohio St. Now we are getting blown out by the bottom feeders.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Not enough.

If it was up to the board we’d have a team full of Mike Williams, Geo’s, and Omoruyi’s. Nice to have fan favorites but the talent level needs to be much much higher.

I have a bad feeling Pikiell recruits like Ash.

Perhaps, but Geo was a steal as a 3 Star.

Doucoure has a very long way to go.

I agree he needs to step up the recruiting though.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Illinois is not a good team too.

 

[RU Mike73]

34% from field (9/26) and 2/8 from 3. Plus 16 turnovers. Just WOW.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Some of you guys are completely nuts. You thought Pike was the second coming of friggin Jesus a few weeks ago, and now you’re saying he’s a chump? Gimme a f*cking break.

 

[RUJMM78]

The performance tonight brings back bad memories of the Littlepage tenure.

 

[Local Shill]

No matter what happens, at least RU won over 10 games this year and beat SHU. Looks like a few good players signed on, so let the team get experience and any additional wins is a bonus this year.

Surely you’re yanking our chain with those comments.

people can talk all they want about Mike's leadership and heart and no question he was a key cog, but production wise in scoring...he was not having a good year and had little impact for the offense.

I think Geo is the mold of the player we want....however he needs 6-7 more Geos, he isnt the player to do it himself...I still say Pike is going need to land a top 50 type player somehow

Steal because we’re Rutgers?

I see hundreds of players across the country with his production.

 

[RocktheRac]

Some of you guys are completely nuts.

I agree for following this team and not sniffing at least .500 ball for eons.

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

How many times in the past 3 games has corey gotten his pocket picked.... wtf

 

[Mr Magoo]

He’s playing poorly right now but not many 3 stars could step into a starting role as a freshman on a B1G team with little support around him.

He has had some very good games this year.

Why don’t you go sniff some glue or something.

 

[bac2therac]

this is true, this is probably our worst Big 10 loss ever given the competition...Even Jordan with that team with no depth took Illinois to 2 OTs two years ago

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

This is an embarrassment for the program.

 

[bac2therac]

Why don’t you go sniff some glue or something.

Rock has had season tix since 93 or so he can say whatever he wants..during that time he saw no NCAA and the program shit on by Uncle Bob where it still hasnt recovered

 

[soundcrib]

Geo is a nice player. But he needs to be the 3rd or 4th scorer on a team that dances.

That’s whats facing Pikiell when it comes to recruiting.

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

The announcers are having a field day with us

embarrassing

 

[ScarletArmor]

If this opponent was Purdue or Michigan State and we were down 33, I would get it, but freaking Illinois?

 

[RUJMM78]

What concerns me is that there are games to be played and the team is regressing at a alarming rate .I doubt they would defeat a MAC level team right now.

 

[bac2therac]

it hasnt even hit February but its time for the look forward to football season threads

 

[RshowoffU]

We simply don’t have the horses yet and hopefully we get them soon. Hard nose defense is only gonna get you so far and on a night when that’s not working... well... you get this.

 

[satnom]

CS is playing like he's on medication.

GO RU

I don't know if I can even muster up any optimism for football this year.

 

[kcg88]

lol Corey just took a shoulder to the chin and no whistle. Don't blame him for not giving a crap anymore.

 

[Andrew Donnelly]

Lacrosse season is around the corner!

 

[wisr01]

4 Assists and 20 TOs makes dreadful sound like a compliment.

 

[RU Mike73]

Illini could score 100

 

[Mr Magoo]

4 Assists and 20 TOs makes dreadful sound like a compliment.

That is amazing

 

[Caliknight]

Holy hell! I just turned on the game and it appears the score is 39-77.

Something must be wrong with the scoreboard.

 

[kcg88]

4 Assists and 20 TOs makes dreadful sound like a compliment.

How about 4 and 21?

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

No passing, ball movement nor teamwork.

 

[bac2therac]

Illinois is 30-49 for 61%

RU is 13-33 for 41%

 

[soundcrib]

OK Corey’s gone.

Thought he had no choice but to come back. After seeing that, he’s gone.

 

[RU Mike73]

We have more turnovers than baskets 13 v 20

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Lacrosse season is around the corner!

How's baseball looking this year?

 

[RU848789]

Turned it off 2 min into the 2nd half. Said to myself a minute ago, "why not check the score?" Guessed it would be 77-42 and it was 75-39. Click again. Wow. This is our worst loss of the Pikiell era, easily and as bad as any under Jordan. Any word on Eugene?

 

[bac2therac]

the refs have called more fouls on Illinois...16-15

the tide is turning guys
