Basketball Rutgers Basketball suffers 81-74 loss to No. 8 Michigan State at MSG

[RUDaveO]

I’m at the game. Watching this in person is baffling. My high school team ran more complicated sets. There is nothing happening on offense. Pike is such a poor offensive coach.

 

[Scangg]

We need a run

11 straight misses

 

[RUinOhio]

game is getting ugly fast

 

[zappaa]

So you're implying that Dylan is not an NBA guard 🤣

Injured and sick keeps you off the floor

 

[darkcheck]

Derkack in at 50-75%?

It’s Knight. Laughable that people are worried he’s gonna get poached

 

[DHajekRC84]

Nobody complain about the fouls. They're driving and we're hosting threes.

 

[Scangg]

Just let Ace shoot 30 times a game and see what happens. He won't miss 11 straight

 

[mikemarc1]

Getting open shots and layups. Can’t hit anything

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Our surrounding cast is just awful. Open shot bricklayers.

 

[Rokodesh]

need to make some shots. Too many missed 3's

 

[tm_nj]

we can’t buy a basket in the last 10 minutes

 

[RUinOhio]

Ace can quit talking shit to the MSU bench until they are up.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Acuff is horrendous.

 

[Treaster51]

Just ket Ace shoot 30 times a game and see what happens. He won't miss 11 straight

Honestly for as bad as the offense is I wouldn’t be opposed to letting Ace shoot every possession

You new to the last decade of Rutgers bball?

 

[Plum Street]

wait for second half . B knight will adjust and owns izzzo’s assistants in these situations

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Pike must have brought in worst portal players in country

 

[Rutgers25]

It’s Knight. Laughable that people are worried he’s gonna get poached

Knight may be bad but Pike is the head coach. He doesn’t know offense either. But to be fair, can’t do anything about Acuff bricking open 3s

 

[koleszar]

Whatever he seems kind of useless out there.

O well maybe in February he'll be good to go.

 

[Scangg]

It’s Knight. Laughable that people are worried he’s gonna get poached

We need a new AD who comes in and insists Pike needs a GM for player eval and the portal and a new assistant in charge of offense

If you don’t see that RU created better shots than MSU, I think you’re blind. During MSU’s run are you had multiple open three-point looks by driving and dishing out. Nothing wrong with that game plan. They’ve just got to make the shots.

 

[Rokodesh]

Dwight Howard is here

 

[Degaz-RU]

One word to describe this:

PAINFUL

 

[Wagram97]

Could we just bring in one 3 point shooter that can still shoot the 3. Could Acuff just get hot.

 

[rpiseman]

Dylan Harper may be the most talented and softest player in the history of RU hoops. Doesn’t seem to do well battling through any type of adversity.

Was the same story at Bosco.

 

[BillyC80]

Dortch with good foot movement and position for a nice block. Well done. PS, his guy was in the paint for 5 seconds.

 

[LotusAggressor]

Honestly for as bad as the offense is I wouldn’t be opposed to letting Ace shoot every possession

At least run a play for him.

 

[FIJI'83]

Nobody complain about the fouls. They're driving and we're hosting threes.

MSU will relentlessly attack the basket. That’s the way they play. Results in any FTs. And large margin wins.

 

[Scangg]

Honestly for as bad as the offense is I wouldn’t be opposed to letting Ace shoot every possession

New team goal. Make Ace nation's leading scorer 🤣

Give us something to root for

 

[DHajekRC84]

Martini needs to shoot the ball. He's been good of late. Maybe Hayes needs a shot. Find a hot hand.

 

[NickRU714]

If Hayes or Martini played defense like Davis did to give up that open 3, some would say they are worst defender in the Big Ten.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Pike must have brought in worst portal players in country

He had to target very specific players to run his offense.

 

[biazza38]

Jordan Derkack, drought stopper

 

[Scangg]

Fans force the late travel call

 

[DHajekRC84]

And somehow it's 5

 

[Scangg]

Martini needs to shoot the ball. He's been good of late. Maybe Hayes needs a shot. Find a hot hand.

#FreeHayes

Dercack lives!

 

[RUinOhio]

Why is Somerville shooting that

 

[Mr Magoo]

If you don’t see that RU created better shots than MSU, I think you’re blind. During MSU’s run are you had multiple open three-point looks by driving and dishing out. Nothing wrong with that game plan. They’ve just got to make the shots.

If it’s not the game plan, then he needs to recruit players to execute. Either way, it’s Pike.

 

[LotusAggressor]

As putrid as they've been offensively, this could be worse.
