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

[FrankZ]

Hurts watching teams that don’t stink all the more when we’re saddled with an extra layer of drear

 

[NickRU714]

"Finally getting loud at the RAC".

Derkack: Hold my beer!

 

[Rokodesh]

Derkack should transfer

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Unbelievable that Pike played Martini over Grant all this time

 

[Mholinko]

Derkack, Williams, Davis

Our "defensive" stalwarts that need to play.

i would rather see 0/3 of them the rest of the game

give me more Grant, Acuff

 

[Saint Puppy]

Smith is going to have a HOF game today against our D.

 

[biazza38]

Offense actually looks like it woke up.
We just can’t get enough consecutive stops. It’s the same thing every game

 

[FrankZ]

Pipe down Grizzly Adams

 

[Mholinko]

i am REALLY enjoying watching Dercack get absolutely destroyed by a real B10 point guard

and then throw it as hard as he can off the backboard on the other end

 

[runner3283]

Derkack should transfer

In between shifts please

 

[Degaz-RU]

Braden Smith is just so fvcking good

 

[RUby RED]

Grant’s energy alone should have had him on the court 20+ mins all season. Pike should’ve had Martini trade in his jersey for a Patagonia fleece

 

[Rokodesh]

every time we have a chance to close they have a complete brain fart and cannot do even the most basic things

 

[tm_nj]

Derkack got faked right out of his shoes

 

[Mholinko]

Braden Smith is just so fvcking good

he is good but he is also SCHOOLING two non P4 point guards in Dercack and Davis

 

[Scangg]

At least Acuff and Grant have given some positives

Derkack needs to pick his spots better and finish

Derkack cuts off Smith's drive but then relaxes too much and gives him an open 3

Stop Smith is key

 

[Rutgers25]

Derkack, another amazing find by Pike.
what were his other NIL offers?

 

[Rokodesh]

Im still trying to wrap my mind around Grant not playing all season.

What the **** is Coach thinking? He's just going to redshirt and come back next season?

 

[Mr Magoo]

Derkack should transfer

I know the NEC is weak, but how the hell was he MVP of the league?

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Derkack is either driving into trees or trying to force the ball to Ogbole unbelievable. Stop this garbage Pike.

 

[Degaz-RU]

he is good but he is also SCHOOLING two non P4 point guards in Dercack and Davis

It’s the pick and roll defense, the center shares blame

 

[RUChoppin]

Our guys are going to wear down fast against these staggered screen forearm jams

 

[Simce91]

Derkack delivered 2 nice passes underneath that were fumbled by Grant and Ogbole

 

[Mholinko]

Derkack, another amazing find by Pike.
what were his other NIL offers?

to be fair to the country dercack was rated pretty highly in the transfer portal i think higher than Acuff even

so i think it would have been a miss by just about everyone

 

[NickRU714]

Tell me again how Hayes can't even get on the court?
How far would our defense fall off if he replaced Derkack or Davis?

 

[Saint Puppy]

Derdack can’t be coached

I have no idea what Derkack is doing? He's running around with no purpose, it's like watching a little kid on a playground there's no rhyme or reason to it.

When you struggle athletically against competition, then you damn well better have a high bball IQ - he does not. He reminds of Hyatt with his bball IQ - not good.

 

[Rokodesh]

I know the NEC is weak, but how the hell was he MVP of the league?

NEC must be like the over 50 league at the YMCA

 

[Mholinko]

Pikeill BEGGING his team to give some effort and talk on the defensive end

Sounds like a desperate coach

 

[rubs]

We see again what a poor evaluator of talent Pike is!

 

[RUChoppin]

Either Pike is sick or he lost his voice yelling in practice the last couple of days

 

[Mholinko]

NEC must be like the over 50 league at the YCMA

its literally the worst division 1 league year after year

worse than the MEAC SWAC etc etc

 

[Scangg]

Derkack delivered 2 nice passes underneath that were fumbled by Grant and Ogbole

Grant yes. Ogbole no. A low bounce pass in traffic to Ogbole is not going to work

 

[RUDeac]

All of these shitshow is because Pike thought Ogbole is good enough

 

[Mholinko]

Tell me again how Hayes can't even get on the court?

FAR believe it or not

 

[Scangg]

11 TOs

 

[bac2therac]

Purdue 57%

Ruters 11 turnovers

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Blowout probably coming

 

[FrankZ]

Fear not. Davis is back

 

[Saint Puppy]

Nice move Big E!

 

[zappaa]

Purdue picks up our guards and pressures immediately after they cross mid-court
