Stonehill 3's are hilarious. So many airballs and off the back board shots. It's like a bad pickup game shooting
The whole game is very pickup game-esque. Not surprising given the disparity in competitive levels. But not fun to watch.

Other than Andre Hyatt, is anyone on this team right now a good to decent Power 6 player?
Mag and Cliff, but their impact is severely mitigated with such a poor surrounding cast. Mag’s a great defender and hustle player — but a guy like that matters less on a bad team. And Cliff would be effective with capable guard play but we have the opposite of that this year

Other than that, I agree. Hyatt the only guy with a consistent pulse. Last minute defections or not it’s sad that this is our reality in Pike’s 8th year
 
Mag - our defensive stopper - gets beat to the spot in an inbound then gives up an easy reverse layup?
 
Sometimes really bad teams get hot from 3 and keep it close for a half.

Stonehill, though, is shooting 18% from 3 and still managed to keep it close. Clown show.

If they were hot from 3 we’d be getting run out of the gym.

Not even hot - just made wide open 3s.
 
Outrebounded (20-18) and outshot (34%- 31%) by 2-12 Stonehill on our home floor. I don’t even know who to blame at this point but we might be staring down the barrel of a last place finish in conference
 
Halftime stats:

Stonehill outrebounding Rutgers 24-23, and they have 10 offensive rebounds.
Rutgers 11-35 overall (31.4%)
Rutgers 3-15 from 3-pt range (20%)
Rutgers 10-18 on FTs (55.6%)
Stonehill only shooting 10-29 (34%) and 3-16 (18.8%) from 3-pt range, but only down 35-29.

Good god is this team awful right now.

Hate to be THAT guy here, but has Dylan officially signed his LOI yet?

Who can we beat?
PSU would beat Stonehill by 40

And I believe that’s including 2 banked threes. I don’t think they were set-shots however.

I've thought this many times today sadly

This game showing how valuable Davis actually is
While I agree that Davis is an important piece this season, I don’t think this game is showing anything other than how unmotivated and unfocused the team is. Playing way, way down to the level of competition.

Sucks and it creates fertile ground for an upset. Coaches hate it and it’s obvious from Pike’s subbing that he’s trying to jolt the team out of its funk. But it happens a lot in most sports.
