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

Seems like every coach that we play is the game plan to stop Rutgers seems like he doesn't know what to do against other teams
 
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?

Definitely playing well offensively and yet we are losing and Princeton on pace to score in 90s

Something is very wrong. Its game 12. I can hear the excuses already...rivalry game blah blah blah. 38% of the regular season over and this team has yet to play a complete game
 
How does Princeton have better players than we do
They DO NOT have better players they run a better more precise team offense. We run a 1 v 1 isolation offense. My daughters team in early AAU beat many teams that were much more talented with individual skills. Our O was all about moving w/o ball, picks, cutting to basket and minimal dribbling

A good solid offense like that can beat ANYONE
 
46-44 at the half. Great offense, bad defense. We're 59% from the field and 12-14 from the line, while they're 48% from the field, but have 13 more shots, mostly due to 8 more O-rebounds; luckily they're only 1-7 from the line somehow.

When was the last time RU ran a legit offense? I honestly can't remember.
 
The next offense Pike runs will be his first

not with this roster. Pikes lack of running an offense doesn't help but this team just isn't very good. Zero depth
Yes, They lack talent but not playing D, not boxing out, and the insane substitution patterns are all coaching
 
In all fairness Henderson does not have to deal with undergraduate players foregoing a Princeton degree for the portal = continuity
I find it hard to believe that every player we have lacks defensive and boxing out fundamentals. The freshman have an excuse

Like the Princeton roster is better than RU?
Common man! We have the 2 best players on the court Martini played big minutes for this squad last year!
Switching coaches would certainly result in a 20 point RU lead!!!❗️
