Basketball Rutgers falls at home to Iowa, ends at-large hopes with poor second half
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
I know it’s easy to point to pike first
But tbh this is the first game this year where I felt like the team was totally checked out and didn’t give a shit about this game
Granted that level of effort and interest trickles down from the coach but I felt like the team just decided screw it with 5 min left in the game
Oh also… the rest of the roster sucks after Bailey and Harper

24 combined points from Harper and Ace against defensively and athletically challenge Iowa
We have just lost 8 of 9 to Iowa over the last several years. INEXCUSABLE!!!!
Even the announcers point out how frequently the fans are sitting on their hands
This is as bad as the Kennesaw loss. Home against a winless team on the road in the league and is short handed
Our lottery picks are mailing it in.
NBA draft can't get here soon enough.

Thank you to the fans and students, Fran is an excellent coach, that's a great offense from Iowa, blah blah blah.
Especially in the second half. They lacked energy and played like they didn't even care to be out there.
We likely make the big 10 tourney, there are some really bad teams in this conference, let’s not forget that. But agree with you that there is no run. Dylan has checked out.
Disagree. We had no clue how to run an offense. And no clue how to defend in the second half. The first half was a mythology. It had nothing to do with the truth of how we were playing.
The team didn't want it...especially Dylan Harper....That's coaching and culture.
Fran tearing up in post game interview
I wish any player on Rutgers would shed tears to show they care

Teams not giving a shit is on Pike first. Something is clearly wrong.
Pike has castrated the RAC advantage. Shamne numbers wouldn't take that bet.
Fran is literally so shocked that his hobbled short handed team won tonight that he’s crying in the postgame. What a pathetic 2nd half effort. They didn’t respect Iowa and it showed
Except it’s not in reality it’s only hot on this board.. still have minimum another year and this is coming from someone who really didn’t get pissed off until this shit game. Easily the worse Iowa team in years especially on the road missing two key players while ours was were healthy man what a shit loss
Bailey and Harper sucked today...the supporting cast actually kept them in
Harper and Bailey gave us 24 games to give them a reason to play hard
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if we lose out so they can get to the draft camp
Dumbest coach and team in the country.
Fire the whole staff. Maybe they can recruit some more division 3 talent who get their ****ing shoelaces tied together dribbling the ball down the court.
They've been playing stupid all season and the coaches haven't done a god damn thing about it.

Ace only took 10 shots, not enough. Dylan didn’t show up for the game. This is most sickening loss, game was at home against a bad team and we got crushed in the 2nd half. No fight at all, felt like a pickup game.
It’s not a great home court. It’s only great when you have the players. Our players suck!!!
Yet again. Nothing new. He's so past his peak. We're fvcked.
Their mindset has switched to the NBA.
This was always a BS take....happy to see it was officially debunked tonight. They both need people around them - they are not leaders. They are really, really good basketball players who play for themselves without much thought about the team around them.
This is the least likeable Rutgers team I can remember. And that’s a shame because I think with Bailey’s charisma it could have been one of the most. Lost of opportunities wasted.
He is the worst coach in the Big 10, and without question one of the worst in the nation. He does nothing well. I don't care about the money - find it. HE MUST GO.
