Basketball Rutgers Basketball falls to Penn State, 61-46

[bac2therac]

He’s horrible. He’s small, slow, can’t shoot and can’t run an offense. Pike playing him at all is stupefying.

He’s a walk on talent. At best.

It makes me question what he looks for in portal

I’m going repeat myself louder: THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST D1 COLLEGE BASKETBALL GAMES I HAVE SEEN IN MY LIFE. I am 71 years old. That’s a lot of games.

I have seen so many middle school games that have been better!

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Has anyone ever seen a D1 team this bad at layups and free throws, the two easiest methods of scoring haha. My word.

This one or any of pikes 8?

 

[Degaz-RU]

We held Penn State to 10-29 (34.5%) and 2-12 from deep (16.7%), and we’re down by 2 at the half.

13 fvcking turnovers

 

[RU Mike73]

Only one attacking

That’s not attacking. That is kamikazi.

 

[RUChoppin]

These two offenses are setting the game of basketball back decades

 

[tm_nj]

I have a headache after that first half

 

[bac2therac]

Hyatt mag total no shows

 

[shields]

Austin Williams is horrible at line. I am 60 and could probably make more foul shots.

 

[zappaa]

Only one attacking

Attacking?
Is that an offense

 

[bethlehemfan]

We are 0-15 on threes in our last two 1st halves

Good looks too

 

[runner3283]

Over and over Simpson out of control. Lucky to be bailed out repeatedly.

Agreed but the kid can shoot free throws

 

[PhillyRU]

Screw the towels man, give everyone back their $4 on StubHub

What a bad, listless, honestly upsetting half of basketball

 

[Scangg]

Just stop with the dumb turnovers and we will win. Some 3's will drop but 13 TOs is so bad

 

[Degaz-RU]

Hyatt mag total no shows

Against a team that plays one big and 4 guards/wimgs

 

[RutgersChow]

Come on bac he has better numbers than Geo!

Of course he looks bad. He has to do everything himself within zero structure. This garbage product is all on the staff - on Knight and on Pike for giving Knight free reign. Sorry, Knight stinks.

 

[Mr Magoo]

His biggest shot in a Rutgers game came for UMass

Amazing that he did well at UMass (perhaps they run an offense). Right now, there is no way he starts for D2 Stonehill.

 

[FrankZ]

Hyatt mag total no shows

Mag line is depressing

 

[LETSGORU91]

My son sent me a pic from the RAC. I don't like the stripe out against PSU because white is their color. Looks like half the fans are theirs.

White is also the color of every other team in basketball.

ok so maybe the lady screaming wasn’t the reason we couldn’t hit free throws.

Maybe it's the students clapping once in sync right before a Rutgers foul shot. Who in the world thinks it's a reasonable idea to create one loud noise right before our player takes the shot?

 

[mildone]

I’m happy to see GG continue to play with more confidence and with toughness in D.

The worst part is it’ll be decent next year because we’ll have NBA talent.

Then what happens after that?

I don’t care what anyone says, it’s not a talent issue. These kids can all hit Js. It’s the offensive system that has zero flow.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Amazing that he did well at UMass (perhaps they run an offense). Right now, there is no way he starts for D2 Stonehill.

If he started for Stonehill, RU would’ve won by 15.

Yeah crazy, Williams stroke is so smooth too

yeah that’s a really bad idea

 

[RAC93]

Needed that 6-0 run

Brutal 8-24 fg

Rac crowd is very good for such a shitty team

Gavin needs to start 2nd

You beat PSU by being aggressive not passive

Very valid point about the RAC crowd. They have outperformed the team this year.

3 years ago pre injury pre baby pre 20 lb gain

 

[tm_nj]

I haven’t seen offense this good since the Warriors versus Nuggets game

 

[bac2therac]

Very valid point about the RAC crowd. They have outperformed the team this year.

Definitely

 

[NickRU714]

Cause he doesn't pass.

Can't throw it away if you never throw it.
Hyatt is sneaky like a fox.

 

[bac2therac]

I’m happy to see GG continue to play with more confidence and with toughness in D.

Biggest takeaway today

Gavin continues his progression

 

[Corycord1]

I’m all for bashing Pike about the current roster and it’s faults but did we forget Cam, Yeboah, Jacob Young, Hyatt now???? He’s missed too. Just hope with the recruits we have coming in next season he’s able to get top end transfers instead of trying to find diamonds in the rough

 

[jerzeyguy]

Who's the little walk on kid- that always gets the rebounds. Put him in

 

[Mr Magoo]

It’s both

 

[mugrat86]

He is better than anyone but cliff out there

How could you possibly say that

 

[SirPerceval]

I refuse to call this basketball.

He'll start whoever started the game. Because ... Yea

 

[Mr Magoo]

He does look and play like he’s 40

Where was the nba talent from 2018-2023?

 

[FrankZ]

Can't throw it away if you never throw it.
Hyatt is sneaky like a fox.

Hahaha

 

[kcg88]

Griffiths is actually playing decently well and compared to the rest of the team he's Lebron but this is just so funny. Why does he jump? Just put your body on the guy under the rim!

(Yes this is also really bad by Noah and Wolf too. Not picking on GG)
