Basketball Rutgers Basketball makes it two in a row, defeating Maryland 56-53

Cliff and J Will need to take blame for those 3rd fouls

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Ogbole made things happen first shift then we go to Wolf for big minutes. This isn't rec ball. It's not Wolf's turn. Ogbole deserved to get back out there after his first shift

100% Pike personal choice yet again .

 

[runner3283]

Stop with the 3 pointers!!

 

[koleszar]

For all those ripping Fernandes, he’s had a nice game rebounding

His 0-2 and 3 turnovers eclipse that.

 

[FrankZ]

A layup!

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

When you have the two best defensive teams in the league playing the two worst offensive teams, this is what you get

Steals are one thing . Giving the ball away is another.

Noah has been horrible man come on. A couple rebounds doesn't make up for anything

 

[RUDeac]

Mr Airball is out of control again.

 

[RU848789]

I can live with 24-22 at the half on the road.

 

[koleszar]

Pike always let's them take the worst final shot of college basketball. I guess I should be happy for no turnover.

 

[zappaa]

sad last possession
Just so sad

 

[FrankZ]

Sad just hoping for no TO there and shot other way

 

[RUby RED]

Derek 0/7. Not sure he has it in him to string together two good games in a row

 

[bac2therac]

Thank god for Mag

Derek not even close 0-7 fg

24-22

But not trending well

 

[Degaz-RU]

Simpson now 0-7

 

[Scangg]

If Cliff and JWill can stay out of foul trouble in the second half we can win this

Cliff and J Will need to take blame for those 3rd fouls

My concern is that both will be passive in 2nd half.

 

[ClassOf02]

Ridiculous foul trouble, 450 turnovers, Derek 0 for 1000 and we’re down 2.

 

[RW90]

Simpson needs a dose of reality. He's nowhere near as good as he thinks. There are other options.

 

[tm_nj]

Derek’s last shot had no chance of going in

 

[Corycord1]

Love that last possession!!!!!! Lets let the worst shooter in the last 20 years in terms of FG % go iso!!!! We definitely got a bucket

 

[BigEastPhil]

Pike always let's them take the worst final shot of college basketball.

He’s better with designing inbound plays !

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

If the Rutgers offense could move like the Rutgers defense we might score a whole lot more.

 

[knight82]

And we get to see this again in a few weeks at the RAC. Yippee

 

[Degaz-RU]

I literally want to pull my hair out watching this team. 2024-25 can’t get here soon enough.

 

[RUMorrisTech]

I will take a rock fight over getting smashed any day of the week

 

[zappaa]

The second you start thinking about how good “good Simpson” is.

This happens

 

[Scangg]

Thank god for Mag

Derek not even close 0-7 fg

24-22

But not trending well

Trending poorly when 2 of our starters had to sit big minutes with foul trouble. Maryland still couldn't pull away. That's a good thing

 

[pd10124]

Ogbole is massive and looks like he tries, but he is so completely lost it’s bad. It makes sense that’s he’s only played basketball for 3 years.

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

His 0-2 and 3 turnovers eclipse that.

When Fernandes comes in and plays extended minutes for no good reason it makes me doubt whether Pike is actually a good coach. The guy does not need go play a minute the rest of the season. Where is Austin Williams?

 

[FrankZ]

If Cliff and JWill can stay out of foul trouble in the second half we can win this

That is the game, but both likely will have 4 by the 17:00 minute mark

 

[RUChoppin]

If Cliff and JWill can stay out of foul trouble in the second half we can win this

They're already in foul trouble in the second half. Usually you get sat with your 3rd foul after the break.... but they're already there.

 

[RUJMM78]

Maryland leads 24-22 at end of first half.Cliff and J. Williams having 3 fouls bad omen for second half.

 

[Scangg]

Love that last possession!!!!!! Let’s let the worst shooter in the last 20 years in terms of FG % go iso!!!! We definitely got a bucket

He's due? 🤣

 

[runner3283]

lol Simpson. At least hit the rim.

 

[bac2therac]

If Cliff and JWill can stay out of foul trouble in the second half we can win this

The bad news is their next foul is their 4th

Willard is a shrewd peacock. You know whats coming

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Simpson needs a dose of reality. He's nowhere near as good as he thinks. There are other options.

He is a terrible choice for Point Guard given his desire to just shoot away and not get his team involved.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Rutgers 8-28 (1-8)

Maryland 8-27 (1-10)

Absolutely PUTRID

 

[Scangg]

When Fernandes comes in and plays extended minutes for no good reason it makes me doubt whether Pike is actually a good coach. The guy does not need go play a minute the rest of the season. Where is Austin Williams?

He's not dressed and we could have really used him today unfortunately

 

[biazza38]

This is my issue with Simpson
Come on man.
I get he’s being asked to do more this year.
Hopefully the switch will turn on in the second half
