Basketball Rutgers falls to No. 20 Purdue with porous defensive performance
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
please start Grant and Acuff second half
Dylan
Acuff
Ace
Grant
Somerville

Well defense got better
Offense is a mess
If Dylan was 100% this would be a different game

The lack of energy/intensity/effort is startling
I’d sooner contribute to Pike’s buyout than to NIL right now.
Harper is still laboring out there, maybe @70%
You’re upset. Dylan has had zero no shows this year outside of last game with the flu.
It is just a bad team. With 2 five stars and 2 four stars no less. Damning reflection of coaching staff.
It picked up as the half went on starting from when Grant entered the game first time
JWill has been benched and hasn't returned is interesting after a rough start
Davis not having a good game
Only reason we’re not down 20 is that Purdue can’t hit a three (2-13)
No leadership. No structure. Just two guys here for half a season more looking ahead to NBA and everyone else seemingly dogging it or simply just dreadfully bad basketball players. Ultimately it's all on Coach IMO
6" Smith plays under control and so much bigger plus a good shooter and passer.
RU 11 turnovers and Smith 10 assists.
Seems like on every possession by Purdue there is a wide open player and great cut to the basket.

Technically it is, you will never see a team with two of the top three best players in the country perform this poorly the rest of your life
Why not give Dortch some burn at this point? We see the energy / rebounding / rim protection boost we get from Grant. Throw some length on the court and TRY to get back to a vintage Pike team. I don’t see why not, this team is going nowhere fast as it stands
Derkacsc bully ball doesn’t work against real opponents
Ace is physically gifted, but he needs another year in college. He is so undeveloped and out of control that he could struggle in the league and that’s not a place where they really develop you. You don’t play a lot of minutes.
Dylan looks like he doesn’t have his legs under him and hopefully they start to come back in the second half
Grant has some physicality, but we need to remember as a freshman and shoots when he shouldn’t and gets lost on defense, but he can make up for it more than some others
I was still give Hayes a run to see if he could ever get hot, but we never seem to get any open shots. They’re always rushed threes.

Absolutely, he may not be here next year if Pike doesn't[/QUOTE]
guess which of these photos was a foul.. hint: in one of them a Purdue player is elbowing a Rutgers player’s neck.. in the next the Purdue player is slapping himself in the face after the ball hits him in the face…
I'm starting to really believe a lot of people on this board could coach our offense. Run three weaves at the top of the key, then everyone do whatever the hell you want and shoot from wherever the hell you want. How hard is that to coach?
What happened to the team that played Alabama and A&M tough in LV?????
they raved because the contributors on the website told us to rave about them
99% of people never saw ANY of the transfers play 1 minute of basketball before
The UCLA coach's words could apply to RU: delusional, soft, no energy. "The hungry dog gets the bone."
Dang - Mick Cronin's evaluation of his own team (lost 3 of last 4) was brutal. Doesn't call anyone out but was clear that some on their team are not as good as they think they are individually. Probably applies to Rutgers too.
Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.
This team is about 5 feet into the 6 feet necessary to be put to rest.
I feel worse. At least at a funeral the person is out of their misery. This is like watching someone die a slow, painful death.
Very sad state of affairs.
I went from most excited I've ever been pre season to so sad that I don't even watch. Just follow the updates on twitter.
