Basketball Rutgers falls 80-72 at Penn State plagued with turnover, foul troubles

[OkRUguy]

2-3 zone u put Sommerville at foul line hit him he looks opposite corner or cutter to basket other wing. It's not hard guys. Not hard at all

Somerville doesn’t pass

 

[Corycord1]

Why is Pike not playing like the season is on the line? Because it is. You lose this game, your chances of getting back into contention are basically done with the schedule remaining.

 

[RUFan20231]

Another loss that will be on Pike being a legit retard.

 

[tm_nj]

we are just giving away a winnable game

 

[BOCA93]

What is Pike doing with Bailey? The kid can’t miss tonight and yet somehow he’s on the bench every time you blink?

 

[RUDivision]

Those last 3 possessions is why you cannot play Jmike. Can’t shoot or score and they leave him wide open. Awful

 

[Saint Puppy]

Pathetic run with this ****ing idiot sitting Ace

Unfortunately this is a bigger issues than just today. We have to have other people be able to score other than Ace or Dylan. Such a fail to be in this position.

He twisted his ankle

 

[Randal7]

acuff…see bench.

 

[greenknight]

why the **** is Ace Bailey on the bench?

Foul trouble bro

 

[fatsam98]

Like how many times do you need Penn State to throw it out of bounds for no reason to pull away

Fing ridiculous game

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

Fire Pike

Hopefully I eat crow but..... Fire Pike

Yes but in this situation you don't sit your only consistent scorer in a tie game. It's common sense.

 

[RU to the Core]

Has anyone on here ever coached basketball. Serious question. Why all the random substations? I’m confused. What is pikes rationale?

 

[RUChoppin]

Foul trouble bro

That too

 

[B0ski]

Opposing coaches see what Pike can’t and they exploit it to no end.

 

[Simce91]

That shot clock violation is on Acuff

 

[Rokodesh]

Hey atleast Derkack got his 20 minutes. Can't wait for Pike to retire his jersey.

 

[RUinOhio]

Why does Acuff have the ball so much? Why is he even out there?

 

[kt124]

that was our offensive set out of a timeout, by the way

 

[soundcrib]

Tyson acuff and his ymca/la fitness game…

 

[RUDivision]

Where is our offensive sets? Come on Pike

 

[robjknight]

3 times in the last 2 minutes we went down to the last seconds of shot clock and took desperate shots.

 

[RUskoolie]

Why is this game attended like it's a women's basketball game at Penn State? Looks like 5k people there.

 

[socaldave]

Great offensive set out of the timeout 🙄

 

[RUGiddy777]

Foul trouble bro

3 fouls and a gimpy ankle.

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

and how coming out of a tine out do we not have a set play

 

[bac2therac]

Gamecast on ESPN is 35 seconds ahead of Peacock. Why would there ever be such a difference?

peacock suck cock...3 times it went out for me...and its like 2 minutes behind the board here

 

[RutgersChow]

Pike should actually be fired

Don't say that too loud.

 

[RU848789]

Not getting a good shot off out of a TO is bad.

 

[bitnez]

Pike is getting out coached big time.

 

[robjknight]

Tyson acuff and his ymca/la fitness game…

Get him out

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Trump for Coach

 

[RUChoppin]

Did peacock freeze so often tonight that some posters here have missed that both Harper and Bailey have been limping after twisting their ankles?

 

[Saint Puppy]

Yes but in this situation you don't sit your only consistent scorer in a tie game. It's common sense.

Ace is a man amongst boys today against PSU - they can't stop him.

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Great offensive set out of the timeout 🙄

Oh but we won against a mediocre ucla team and beat Nebraska on the road therefore Pike is great.

 

[RUFan20231]

What is Pike doing with Bailey? The kid can’t miss tonight and yet somehow he’s on the bench every time you blink?

He’s preparing him for the NBA and having his minutes managed when he’s 37.

 

[Corycord1]

That’s the difference between 4 years of college S&C and a freshman. Both Ace and Harp nursing sore ankles.

Not saying they need to play all 40 but in a key stretch with the game slipping away, there no way that your best player should be on the bench

 

[ScarletDave]

One of the most frustrating games ever. So winnable unless we do exactly everything in PSU’s favor: bench Bailey for the entire second half despite 19 points, leave Ace Baldwin wide open (5+ feet) for 5 threes, play Dercack his most minutes of the season. A miracle for PSU, the only way they would win

 

[FIJI'83]

Unfortunately this is a bigger issues than just today. We have to have other people be able to score other than Ace or Dylan. Such a fail to be in this position.

You do when Dylan scores 5 points. However, this team has no chance to win unless Dylan scores 15+ which looks like not happening tonight.
