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

What else is he focusing on now ?

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say school.

To be fair nobody could anticipate Dylan getting sick but yea Hayes and martini are unplayable.

No doubt on Dylan, but we weren't good before he got sick. I still expected to be a bubble team, but no real returning culture guys, all transfers unproven at this level, scared off from getting a big, ect, were all real issues many didn't want to hear.

So true....and we are so bad. Game was over as soon as it started.

Or if Purdue hit threes that were maybe too wide open even close to their normal pace,they win by 30 and Smith has 20 assists.

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.

Don't think Lathan scored a first half point either, did he? That would be three starters if so.

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.

Sadly I did not miss the betting win. It was so foreseeable.
