Basketball Rutgers falls 80-72 at Penn State plagued with turnover, foul troubles
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Ogbole is playing solid on the other end, hands need work on O
psu doesnt awe you but so well coaching with ball movement...more of a team than RU and it looks like RU will once again have to rely on Ace or Dylan to go off in the 2nd half
Pike needs to shorten his bench ASAP. More Grant less role players.
Never seen a worse ending to a half.
Also Bailey is red hot and didn’t take a shot the last 4 minutes? All the scrubs playing hero ball instead and turning it over. What?!

And that's disgraceful considering they're not applying that much pressure. Brandon Knight strikes again.
PSU 7-12 on threes
Rutgers 12 TOs
That’s the story of the first half right there

12 Turnovers, and Penn State hitting 7-12 3s, and being down only 2 with Harper just 5 is not too bad.
Pike’s substitution is crazy. Needs to shorten his bench. When is the last time Davis made a basket?
I supported him but Pike is having his coaching malpractice game again. 2 good ones in a row, then back to “Pike Ball” - horrendous substitutions, unbelievable who gets minutes, mind blowing who gets the shots on offense, how many possessions we allow Dylan and Ace not to get a single touch, and role players launching 3s.
Derkack shouldn’t touch the floor the rest of the season. No idea why he’s gotten reintroduced. Pike is too soft.
Maybe I’m dense but is college basketball all that exhausting that 20 year old peak specimens can’t play a whole half of basketball? Why all the substitutions? Why not leave Dylan grant out there for longer. Leave the scrubs on the bench. I feel like we sub too often.
He refuses to rein in guys like Derkack and JMike who have carte blanche to do whatever they please on the court.
Penn State came into this game looking to get beat in front of a half filled arena. Because our guards sucked in first half we have given them life. 12 TOs in a half is embarrassing. Dylan needs to get his head out of his ass this next half or we lose.
Will still be shocked if that doesnt swell at half. Tomorrow is going to be a tough day
Fortunate to only be down 2 given the turnover fest. I don't know what some of these guys are thinking with the stupid passes.
He doesn’t belong in high major basketball, not if he’s just going to do whatever he wants on the court like he’s the star.
And Jeremiah Williams. Those three guys would keep their warmups on on a good team.
Somerville / Martini and Dercack turnovers were atrocious !
Role players who DONT know their role…..
Jordan and Jwill need to sit. Out of control again. Jmike adding nothing.
Shorten your bench Pike and get ball in hands of Bailey and harp to create on offense. Keep Grant martini and Acuff out there and have them hit shots

It will be tough cause PSU is a good second half team. That said, we’ve had some good second halves too. Need our stars to step up, especially Harper.
Jwill has 3. They weren’t very pretty either although one might be that bs screen foul call which was total bullshit.
Shooting 56% and nearly doubling PSU up on the boards… should be winning. 12 TOs/wasted possessions is story of the game so far
They all do whatever they want. There is zero team in this team. Dudes cant even catcatch-pass-cut. Everyone has to dribble it's not needed
