Basketball Rutgers Basketball runs out of magic, drops heartbreaker to Princeton

[socaldave]

We have absolutely no defense by the basket. Martini, Ogbole, Sommerville hasn't produced any interior D

It’s all coaching, they are constantly out of position bad rotations and lack of discipline

Ru 10-12 at line

PU 1-6

Agree the coaching isn't good. But the problem isn't the young players. It's the horrific roster Pike put together around them.

Bailey's talent is off the charts, but he is a bad basketball player right now. Defense, passing, switching, etc. Some of this is on him, some on the coaches. Harper is more well-rounded now, which isn't surprising due to his dad and brother.

 

[Mr Magoo]

I feel bad for Dylan and Ace. They deserve much better. The team and coaches are failing them.

 

[scarletknight077]

Can’t rebound at all

 

[bac2therac]

Tigers are so well coached

 

[RU#1fan]

They are getting out coached on DDD
Pike is not doing a good job

Nothing unusual here.

 

[LotusAggressor]

It’s nuts. They run it every F’ng possession and keep getting easy looks

Amazing how well half court offense works when you know what you're doing.

 

[BillyC80]

We're missing layups we usually make

Especially Harper, even when fouled

 

[rufan4ever]

Princeton 9 offensive rebounds. Hard to win that way.

 

[socaldave]

No boxing out, it infuriating watching a Pike coached team, it beginning to hurt my eyes

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Pick and roll defense is non existent

Nobody to protect the cylinder, Sommerville still confused defensively and Martini has cement feet. Get Ogbole back in.

 

[RedTeam1994]

It’s all coaching, they are constantly out of position bad rotations and lack of discipline

I sadly can’t disagree.

Can’t defend the pick and roll

Can’t rebound - they have 9 ORB!!

 

[greenknight]

Martini literally does nothing on the floor. His stat sheet shows it

We do have P5 players...we are gearing up our offense for 2 players.

 

[biazza38]

One day we’ll figure out how to defend the paint

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

It’s nuts. They run it every F’ng possession and keep getting easy looks

Every time! Can Pike adjust 2nd half? Lack of any shot blocker and rim protector killing us

 

[RUJMM78]

Princeton getting too many offensive rebounds and wide open 3 point shots.The week to prepare for this game shows no improvement on defense.

 

[Eagleton96]

Defense is atrocious. Like we’ve never seen a pick and roll before. No excuse at this point in the season.

And why aren’t we pressing?

 

[FIJI'83]

Looks like the players are seeing the Princeton motion offense for the first time. What were they practicing for over the past week?

 

[Ridge 22]

Bailey's talent is off the charts, but he is a bad basketball player right now. Defense, passing, switching, etc. Some of this is on him, some on the coaches. Harper is more well-rounded now, which isn't surprising due to his dad and brother.

Agree with that. But where is the help around them? This roster outside of Ace and Dylan seems devoid of talent. And our interior play is even worse than some of us feared (and others ignored). Just terrible roster construction by Pike. But enjoy the special season because next year is going to be in the cellar.

 

[RU82]

We’re a bad team with two good players.

We’re going nowhere this year. Sad.

 

[Simce91]

Pike needs to start thinking about switching up the Defenses on Princeton

 

[T2Kplus20]

Tigers are so well coached

What the F do we do at practices? Why is every damn team better at the basics than us?

 

[gmay8]

We’re a bad team with two good players.

We’re going nowhere this year. Sad.

I keep waiting for a switch to flip. Doesn’t look like it’ll ever happen. 12 games in and still pretty awful

 

[RutgersChow]

JMike is open for a reason on a 3… he will make 1 out of a hundred….Pj is open for a 3.. he passes. Crazy

That means he's going to miss his next 98 because he is 1-2. Doubt it.

 

[socaldave]

At least one of them should be in the game at all times. No one else can score.

Because Pike doesn’t run an offense

 

[T2Kplus20]

Agree with that. But where is the help around them? This roster outside of Ace and Dylan seems devoid of talent. And our interior play is even worse than some of us feared (and others ignored). Just terrible roster construction by Pike. But enjoy the special season because next year is going to be in the cellar.

Holy F. Just thought about this team without Harper and Bailey. Yikes.

 

[Mr Magoo]

What the F do we do at practices? Why is every damn team better at the basics than us?

Was thinking the same. Just roll the ball out.

 

[RU848789]

10-12 FTs is nice - Derkack having a good game.

 

[biazza38]

Jesus he just chucked that up and still hit the 3. Ugh

 

[greenknight]

JMike is not a D1 player. Play anybody else

Where do u guys come up.with this stuff???

 

[RU848789]

Lee is really good.

 

[greenknight]

We should not take any shot outside 5 ft. There is nobody on that team.that can stop anyone

 

[scarletknight077]

How does Princeton have better players than we do

 

[socaldave]

Jmike 🙄

 

[BOCA93]

Lee is embarrassing Davis

 

[Rokodesh]

Derkack you ****ing idiot

 

[RedTeam1994]

Another g-damned ORB

 

[RUJMM78]

Princeton's 3 pointers against Rutgers 2 pointers.They are dominating the tempo of the game.

 

[greenknight]

Dude announcer STFU you are annoying
