Basketball Rutgers Basketball defeats Stonehill to end OOC play with a win

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.
PG sets the tone. Plus Davis is a big energy player in general

Damn I go out to finish gardening for Spring during first half and come back to see this trash? 6 up against 2-12 Stonehill?! Lose and season officially over.

Competition even at the highest level is fun.
This game should not require a back breaking all out focus effort.
We should be crushing this team, laughing and having a good ole time doing it
Our talent and practice reps to fall back on should make this game a complete laugher.
You play down to PSU or Nebraska not this team

You guys are all worried for no reason. Obviously the team is just lulling our conference mates into a false sense of security.
 
Good news is we can still win this game by 30 and wouldn't be surprised if we do
You are probably correct. However, no good ever comes out of these games…especially mid-season when we are playing 3 games in 3 weeks and start exclusive conference play in a few days. Just really stupid.

Better than playing a good team and getting crushed

Rutgers will not be playing down to anyone in conference. We have to hope that some teams play down to our level.

I'd say it's working cause OSU must be licking their chops right now.

Not disagreeing about him, and he *might* have been able to alter how that half played out. But he might also have been as low energy and low focus as the rest of the team today. I think it would’ve been likely.

Let’s see who steps up in the second half.
 
Maybe instead of worrying about defense so much we should actually practice offense, shooting and free throws. We have to be one of the worst shooting teams in D1
 
The wide open threes are hilarious. We defend everyone as if they're as bad at shooting as we are. Which to be fair Stonehill is but good luck with this against Iowa.
 
Simpson just needs some contact to score is all. Pike should draw up plays where RU players hack Simpson when he shoots, so it’ll go in.

I should be coach.
