When we fouled we essentially gave up any chance of getting the ball back Pike sucks
Basketball Rutgers falls at Oregon with porous perimeter defense and struggling stars
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
I’m sorry but that’s 10x worse than Greg’s TO before the Illinois FG.
A lot can be said about pikes performance this year, but perhaps the single most damning thing is that Dylan Grant started the season barely playing. WTF are you looking at in practice dude?!?
Shot 56% but down by 5. How come Pike’s defensive genius has not rubbed off on this team one iota?
Same old same old…..we play good for stretches, compete well but it’s not good enough, down 38-33. I feel like I have seen this movie before this year, maybe 13 times already??
He did the same thing at UMD. Was on fire 1st half and I don't think he took a shot the whole 2nd half.as I noted he was 50% last 3 games and he now won't shoot more than a few.
You’ll have to wait another year. Besides, third best player on team taking D into account. Davis is the one who’s useless.
“We have like 25 in bound plays, he had to learn them”
Is there a round-robin for the three teams that don’t make the B1G tournament? Maybe we could try to win that?
Lack of effort is obvious. Couldn’t even get free to catch the ball. How about some post up to help Pike. It’s so frustrating
I feel like Ace is trying to limit himself to good shots and I think it’s messing him up.
If Ace and Dylan show up we could win, but with this team it is always something…..so tonight’s it’s always something may be Dylan and Ace pulling no shows while the others show up again, just like Iowa.
Wrong. Not even close. It didn’t lose the game. Plus, they would have had only 2 sec for a rebound and full court push. Better odds to make UO reset the offense and start over. Actually the right play.
You’d be right if they’d have 15 seconds left but there were 32 seconds on the clock when UO’s possession started.
What a way to end the first half with a scoring drought and then allowing a uncontested layup.This looks like another game where Bailey and Harper don't score 30 points.The half court offense is stagnant with no player or ball movement to create open shots. Harper is missing 3 pointers and Bailey not taking enough shots.
You’re saying fouling and giving up a 7 second possession at the end of the first half is worse than an end of game timeout that directly led to us losing?
Cannot get O rebounds when the entire team heads to the D end of the court when our guy takes a shot.
By the time the Oregon player gets the rebound you don't see a Rutgers player in the screen shot.
My favorite in bounds play is the one where we throw it from under the opponents basket across half court and pray for a miracle
Here that Pike “… have to figure out a way to get him [Ace] open”. However, we fans here know that Pike and his staff don’t have a clue how to get Ace or anyone else open.
Regardless, our D is so porous it wouldn’t matter anyway if they did have a clue. The loss of Ogbole is much bigger than we all thought at first.

You’re giving him way too much credit.
I predict All 4 freshman will not be playing for RU next year
Oregon isn’t holding the ball, they are running their offense and getting a quality look.
You effectively intentionally gave up a possession for no reason. JMike was 35 feet from the hoop actively looking to foul.
From a pure strategy standpoint it makes absolutely no sense.
It’s halftime and we’ve already played 11 guys like it’s week one vs Wagner. Unbelievable.
Remember part of it is on Ace. He mostly stands around - watch some other really good offensive players who expend more effort getting open.
I agree…and the players we don’t want will be here along with more NEC castaways
Should be doing whatever it takes to keep DG and Lathan but I don’t know that it’ll be possible.
