Basketball Rutgers falls at Oregon with porous perimeter defense and struggling stars

They brought him in for offense because he can get 3s up against Merrimack
They could get him alot of open free looks. But we dont have a ball handler onnteam that knows how to do it. They are usually chucking off balance shots when they can pass tonthe open look. Just gotta draw their defender down the the key, kick it open 3
 
Nope, we knew the outcome before the play. There's simply no way you ever give a coach a chance to reconsider an impossible to hit FG from 55 yards into a 20 mph wind.
If the FG went in you wouldn’t have thought anything of it.

I will laugh in like 5 years when we lose a game like that because GS doesn’t call a timeout.

Regardless, the point is that you don’t KNOW what’s going to happen. You’re assuming he will miss because of conditions.

But as a HC, you KNOW you’re giving up a possession by fouling. Inexcusable for me, but everyone thinks differently.
 
Pike doesnt believe raising NIL is apart of his job. That and his lack of belief in running an offense will put a fork in his tenure here. Due to his contract, its gonna end very ugly with him here. Hes not gonna voluntarily resign from all that guaranteed money.
Would you ?
 
Lathan having a Really good game.

You guys smelling that?
I think I smell a come back coming tonight...

Oregon will get a cold spell from 3pt area tonight

Would you ?
I would not. However, I also wouldnt be stubborn as a mule and would hire someone to run my offense and stop feeling sorry for myself and go out and raise money. His lack of effort on both fronts is disrespectful to the fans

If this keeps spiraling, someone in RU admin might have no choice but to make a move after this year. As unbelievable as it sounds, this could be worse next year.

It’s crazy how many of our possessions end with someone getting tossed a hand grenade like 25 feet from the basket.
That is all Pikiell has for an offense. Waste 25 seconds trying to get an iso shot with a roster that can't do that (except maybe Harper and Bailey) and then position for a hail mary shot with 5 seconds left. Always been the identity and is the reason his teams have sucked over the last 4 years. Opposing coaches figured out how to play this rec ball offense.
 
If you watch Grant's D compared to others, you'll see who's decided to take the night off. It's all about effort.
