Basketball Rutgers falls to No. 20 Purdue with porous defensive performance

Honestly, if you were a general manager and your job was on the line would you take Ace with the lottery pick? I think he has all the tools in the world but heā€™s gotta learn to play basketball and I donā€™t think necessarily one learns to play at the NBA level
 
And you had the audacity to defend him when I made a negative comment about him in the game against Wisconsin?
Your comment was a bad take and you threw a temper tantrum about it fighting with another poster for some reason... and apparently still aren't over it

Needs to be a team with solid infrastructure in place. Good veterans, preferably a team that only needs to utilize him as a bench scorer, microwave type guy early on. If youā€™re drafting him to be a franchise centerpiece off rip, youā€™re in trouble

No. I know a little something about basketball and your negative take on Dercack proves my point that essentially you agree with me. Dercack SUCKS!

I kind of have the same opinion. His game is pretty far away from being NBA ready. Most say he is a top 3 pick - I don't get it based on his play.
 
Game Summary
Acuff and Grant get a little better, everyone else on the team have regressed. No team play, poor passing, poor substitutions, peak in the huddle showed Pike desperately screaming instructions to the team. We will be underdogs the rest of the season. Shocked that Purdue was only 1.5 point favorite- everyone missed an easy betting win. Even the most rampant RU fans are depressed with the performance and the outlook for the rest of the season. There is no way that Dylan and Ace can be successful without a competent supporting cast and good coaching. Both which are missing.
 
We need to find smart players who know how to play basketballā€¦who understand the game and if they donā€™t coach them and teach them

Lol no it doesn't. You threw a fit derkack took a wide open 3 with a couple minutes left when we were down double digits. He should take that shot. He pretty much has to take that shot at that point in the game

If you want to feel better flip on the college football semi final to watch PSU. A football school that will likely also be sending their menā€™s team to the NCAA tournament. And people wonder why they donā€™t consider us a rivalry

Hey we did beat them. What happened to that team? If was just a month ago

Except he was on someone else and Ace left the guy under hoop alone, but sure, blame the wrong guy.
Ogbole wouldnā€™t play on any team let alone start in D1 but keep defending him. Go back and watch, heā€™s in the wrong place consistently. He is terrible.

I used to be a Pike fan after he returned Rutgers from years in the dumpster fire. This year? He has proven heā€™s clueless at evaluating the kids in the portal to compliment two top freshmen. He has sadly exposed himself and we need the next level coach to take us to the next level.

No he didnā€™t. Heā€™s a terrible 3 point shooter. Pass it to someone else on the floor who can make it. By your thinking if Ogbole was was open at 3 point he should just take the shot because only a few minutes are left in the game. Sure pal. LOL!
 
I was pretty negative, warning about depending on freshman, not loving the transfers, and still didn't think it would be this bad.
When Richie said the prospect of us finishing 15th in the league wasnā€™t only wrong but an insane take, I knew this place was gonna be a shit show
 
Better than Lathan? Nice to meet you Mr. Ogbole
Lathan has been bad. He's a freshman that probably would not be playing if we built the roster well, but he's bad right now. Lost defensively at almost all times. Christ, Rafferty got excited tonight when Lathan would actually move and run out at a shooter. Just moving stood out for him.

Lol no. Just stop. Everyone has bad takes but you're just drawing more attention to it for some reason. Time to move on

Iā€™m moving on. And btw, i like your takes and even your ā€œloudā€ but colorful apparel at the game. You are true fan and I respect that.

With each succeeding league game Rutgers performance gets progressively worse.Purdue made layups and dunks while Rutgers struggled to get even a open jump shot.In the first nine minutes of the game Rutgers made one basket.Neither Davis or Williams scored a first half point as starters.Rutgers isn't going to defeat any B1G Ten rival when Bailey and Harper don't even score 25 points.Purdue runs a half court offense like other well coached teams while Rutgers commits 12 turnovers in the first half.The record is now 8-8 with two straight losses at the RAC.The RAC crowd has no impact because the team performance is so inept.

Richie doesnā€™t know crap about basketball. Use him for info not his takes.
