Basketball Rutgers falls at home to Iowa, ends at-large hopes with poor second half

[bethlehemfan]

Harper like he’s drugged.

 

[FmrMgrRU]

Wow Pike is so trash

 

[RUTrack94]

Kind of stinks to lose to a team that was 4-8 in conference and lost last 4 road games by an average of 14 points.

On the bright side, at least RU didn’t get blown out.

 

[Caliknight]

Team is soft af. I didn't want to say it all season and was hoping they'd grow out of it. They aren't young anymore. They've played a ton of basketball.

They are just soft. The entire team. Season is over.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

another moving screen for Iowa

 

[Saint Puppy]

Horrendous pass by Grant - so frustrating

 

[greenknight]

We just suck

 

[RU MAN]

These kids have been playing in slow motion in the second half. Absolutely no energy. The players are to blame, but so is Pike and his staff. DISGUSTING!!!

 

[Mr Magoo]

I guess that puts to bed the bullsh*t about how many games we would have won with a healthy Harper and Bailey after this debacle against a shorthanded horrible Iowa team.

You need a healthy and engaged Harper for it to matter

 

[The RUT]

Maybe but I think his 2 stars didn't respect Iowa...this was first time in a long time Rutgers was favored

Starts from the top.

 

[RAC93]

The “Others” did their job tonight, scored 49, DYLAN AND ACE DID NOT DO THEIR JOBS….cost us this game

 

[RUDeac]

Iowa is 0-5 on the road with an average margin of -20.

 

[seansherm]

Everyone wanted Grant

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

It's over Johnny

 

[MV9000]

Pike lineups and duration of said shit lineups in the second half were unforgivable. Is he tanking for the #1 pick lmao.

 

[greenknight]

Bro the GAME IS OVER

 

[bac2therac]

I guess that puts to bed the bullsh*t about how many games we would have won with a healthy Harper and Bailey after this debacle against a shorthanded horrible Iowa team at home no less. This team sucks even with them.

Absolutely

 

[RU-Hunter]

Another terrible inbounds pass. It’s amazing that this is happening at this level. Against Iowa too!

 

[newell138]

That’s a wrap

 

[Rokodesh]

Abomination of a roster, coaching staff, and season.

Just end it already.

 

[ClassOf02]

No interior defense whatsoever — on Pike.

Two of the most dynamic players in the country slowed down in a plodding offense — Pike.

In the bonus with 12 minutes to go in the second half — how many FTs the rest of the game? On Pike.

We’re gonna give up close to 50 in the second half.

I’m getting really close to being done with Pike.

Can we hire a friggin President & AD already????

 

[Saint Puppy]

Crap shot Harper.

 

[rufeelinit]

A terrible loss to add to the mounting list of bad losses.

 

[FmrMgrRU]

Can we still make the tournament?

 

[Shell21]

this team stinks. no show and energy from the two stars , horrible defense especially on the glass and in the paint and bad decisions galore. Just a horrible loss .

 

[RUChoppin]

This game is a microcosm of this season. Big hopes early, then crappy defense and uncoordinated offense, and ultimately a disappointing collapse.

 

[The RUT]

RIP Rutgers Basketball 2025. Seat is officially hot for Pike.

 

[BOCA93]

Another year that Pike gets totally outcoached by Fran.

 

[chrism25]

Now can we all admit there will be no run. The season is over. Won't even make Big Ten tournament

 

[greenknight]

Horrendous pass by Grant - so frustrating

Didnt matter game was already lost

 

[RU_SAM]

Absolutely unacceptable from the coaching staff.
Team was not prepared to play.

 

[RU MAN]

This season can't get over fast enough. What excuse will Pike make tonight? _uck him!!!!

 

[Saint Puppy]

BAD LOSS......AGAIN!

 

[tm_nj]

what’s Pike excuse tonight?

 

[socaldave]

Harper looks tired
Pike loses to Fran 8 out of last 9
good coaching vs shite

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

now I'm officially disgusted...

 

[Simce91]

Everyone wanted Grant

That pass was not the reason for the L

 

[RUDivision]

Pikes is an embarrassment

Inbounds plays
Rotations
Plays out of a timeout

Basic coaching awful

 

[Arizona Knight]

I hate sports

 

[bac2therac]

The excuses have run out for this team and the RAC has turned into just another average home court
