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

[bac2therac]

4-11 at line killing them

 

[RUChoppin]

Refs suddenly calling a very loose game

 

[RedTeam1994]

I'm so ****ing sick of Derkack, kid is clueless with the ball.

Neaderthal

he does a lot of good things too

Dercack is not anywhere close to being one of the bigger problems with this team

in fact, one could argue that if ANY of the other transfer were contributing AT ALL Dercack wouldnt have to be relied on as much/ wouldnt force as much,

he's the only transfer making a contribution.

 

[bac2therac]

Was that Harpers 1st made fg this half

 

[Rokodesh]

Wasn’t EO playing well

Yes, but icing him is mandatory according to the coaches

 

[RU82]

Can someone please tell JMike that he’s the 5th option on offense whenever he’s out there.

 

[RUGiddy777]

Lee is really good. 6 assists. Consistently beating JMike. Runs PNR to perfection. He has as many assists as entire RU team. All iso ball on other end

Absolutely cooked Dylan on that crossover.

 

[bac2therac]

It really shouldn't be this hard to win a game

 

[Rokodesh]

he does a lot of good things too

Dercack is not anywhere close to being one of the bigger problems with this team

He's an automatic turnover as a ballhandler

 

[BillyC80]

Sommerville needs to step in the lane, aggressively defend and if necessary foul somebody rather than give up an uncontested layup. It’s maddening the way he becomes a spectator, including on some rebound opportunities too.

 

[greenknight]

DH is incredible in paint with ball in hand. I dont think I've ever seen anyone that uses body angles, body position & ball spinning either hand better than him

 

[Ridge 22]

Fine as a 6 or 7th man. Not so fine as your third option

 

[RutgersChow]

And he can’t shoot

He's now 2-4 from 3, and has played really well in the second half as per the color guy.

 

[socaldave]

Last time I checked basketball has 5 players on the court.

Last time I checked the team with the best player on the court, never mind the best 2 by a wide margin has great opportunity for victory

 

[zappaa]

You all knew Pierce would torch us

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Martini is atrocious

 

[Rokodesh]

another god awful lineup

Where tf is Ace?

 

[biazza38]

How are we going to win B1G games this year. I get it, Lee and Pierce are great but this is very very concerning

 

[jkernpop]

Feels like we need an Ace explosion here

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Can Rutgers cut Captain Martini?

 

[RedTeam1994]

Fine as a 6 or 7th man. Not so fine as your third option

agree. but that just supports my point.

 

[zappaa]

Last time I checked the team with the best player on the court, never mind the best 2 by a wide margin has great opportunity for victory

Martini and Derk on the floor at once… no

 

[RU848789]

What kind of D was that by Derkack and Martini just got abused on that rebound.

 

[RutgersChow]

JMike shooting 3s. When is someone going to talk to this kid?

2-4.

 

[motel00]

Nobody checks out on this team. 2 years in a row. When will the coach hold them accountable

 

[motel00]

Somerville, worst help defender of all time

 

[Rokodesh]

Where are acuff and PJ? Pike plays 4 guys that can't shoot and Harper

 

[BillyC80]

Sommerville needs to step in the lane, aggressively defend and if necessary foul somebody rather than give up an uncontested layup. It’s maddening the way he becomes a spectator, including on some rebound opportunities too.

Right on cue, he offers no help on that drive and dunk by Pierce.

 

[greenknight]

Last time I checked the team with the best player on the court, never mind the best 2 by a wide margin has great opportunity for victory

Lol clueless not the case my man. Very easy to take 1 player out of the game lol

 

[RUGiddy777]

Feels like we need an Ace explosion here

Time to put these guys away.

 

[RU82]

I’ll say this, the fans showed up. Good crowd for this game. And about 98% Rutgers fans.

 

[Eagleton96]

Looking at the box score we should be winning by 10+

Is anyone in the Rutgers squad even breaking a sweat?

 

[RRRRUUUU]

Lathan sucks so bad. He plays so selfishly. If he gets the ball, there is a 100% chance he’s taking the shot even with 3 people guarding him and being off balance. And on top of that he’s soft on defense.

 

[SBP]

Lathan the Liability. Then on offense turns an easy layup into a swirling, dribbling, faking production.

 

[socaldave]

Lol clueless not the case my man. Very easy to take 1 player out of the game lol

Clearly you don’t know what you’re talking about

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Where are acuff and PJ? Pike plays 4 guys that can't shoot and Harper

They are too slow on Princeton's cuts

 

[Rokodesh]

Sommerville drives me insane

3 on 1 and takes an awful shot

Very selfish

 

[rutgers333]

I have seen enough to know that this is not a tournament team.

 

[bac2therac]

Ace may have 9 boards but 3-9 fg shooting and 6 points doesnt cut it

 

[RedTeam1994]

sommerville gets hammered and Lee fakes the contact
