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

[Mholinko]

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.

i would be pounding the table in appreciation if our coach did something like that

He really shouldn't worry, we'll cure all his team's ills.

What happened to the team that played Alabama and A&M tough in LV?????

$$$

 

[mikeyo]

Looked a lot like a Patriot League team in that 1st half

 

[RuSnp]

25% from 2 and 12(!) turnovers. Negates any positives. Rebounding ok. 3 point shooting ok. But those first two. SMDH.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

One wonders where is even the team that beat a decent PSU last month?
Only thing to conclude is that Dylan really is everything and this illness has just wrecked us

 

[PiscatawayMike]

Glad Purdue isn't hitting 3s like usual... they are 12th in the nation in 3-point percentage (40%). If they were, we'd be done.

Big Second Half Men
Make adjustments

 

[Degaz-RU]

First 4 minutes of 2nd half will tell the tale. Either we fight and get the lead down to 5 or 6, or Purdue pushes the lead to 12 to 15. If the latter, the game is over.

PLEASE STOP PLAYING OGBOLE. Go small ball with Grant at the 4/5 if need be. Rebounds way better

 

[NickRU714]

Someone remind what exactly Davis, Williams and Derkack to deserve anymore playing time than everyone else in the bench?

Hayes, Dortch, Grant Acuff even Martini.
What happens?
We turn the ball over every other possession and let them score at will?

They still get great looks

 

[Rokodesh]

JMike and Jeremiah starting

😭🔫

 

[Scangg]

The only real chance we have to win is Dylan and Ace dominating but Dylan isn't 100%

 

[RU Mike73]

Body language of our guys coming out for 2nd half is horrible.

 

[jerzeyguy]

If your hurting now, don't ask for Dortch. I kept saying he's going to have to redshirt. He's that BAD. Like worse than Rieber and Jalen Miller bad

 

[Scangg]

Dylan and Ace combine for only 12 in first half.... problem is that's half our points still

 

[Wagram97]

Can now say I’m done reading or viewing stories by Rutgers related media. 2nd year in a row I’ve been fooled.

Derkack was someone that wanted to prove he belonged. A Caleb clone. Yet I see him just give up on defense.

Hayes was a three point shooter with a cool tattoo. Can’t recall the last time he got a 3 that mattered.

Martini was Jersey strong expecting him to be the type getting bloodied going for the rebound. Plus shooting 3s. Way way off on that.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Ace is having an off night again

 

[koleszar]

So much for coming out hot.

 

[Saint Puppy]

That's a great pass by Braden Smith.

 

[Rokodesh]

Dylan why?

 

[Mr Magoo]

Harper should not have played

 

[Scangg]

Ace so open on that inbounds play

 

[RU Mike73]

Ace backing down against 3 defenders. Bailed out with pitty pat foul.

 

[Rokodesh]

Just horrid shot after horrid shot

 

[Saint Puppy]

Great shot Ace

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

This is utter garbage

 

[FrankZ]

Comedy of errors.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Bailey is skill and potential. Not a smart player in the least..and not getting any smarter here.

 

[newell138]

Our offense gets worse each game

 

[Saint Puppy]

Somerville triple teamed - maybe a pass out???

 

[Rokodesh]

Lathan just worried about his stats

 

[socaldave]

Bad Bad Bad!!

 

[Mr Magoo]

Somerville triple teamed - maybe a pass out???

Lathan Selfishville

 

[Rokodesh]

Somerville triple teamed - maybe a pass out???

Pike doesn't hold him accountable

Keep going.

Williams and Davis are going to shoot better than 25% from 3. We won 4 games with Williams last year now we get a whole year.

Ogbole has potential and can replace Clif

Ha

Yeah, the new reality is we are the bottom scrapers everyone wants to play.

 

[RUby RED]

Sommerville needs to quit the “too small” sh*t. We’re down 10, catch a clue goddam
