I wonder if coach Pike knew it was gonna be this bad.

and who the hell are we going to get if we go 2-16 in the league again?This game is prime example of why people should be cautious about predicting improvements next year...being competitive and holding late leads does not mean much when you finish 2-16..until the talent level grows signsignificantly this team will finish last in the Big 10
And that's the situation we're in.and who the hell are we going to get if we go 2-16 in the league again?

Great inspiration for the home crowd when the team plays its worst ball at home this year. WTF?

We are a loooooong way from Maryland
Such a long way that almost for the entire first half, we were down by as little as two. Second half looong way. Yes. First half, right there. Different story.
RU was just what they needed to get back on trackEnd result, pretty bad. Maryland showed why they are a top 25 team.
but they will "develop" during the off seasonWe have terrible guards that cannot play against teams that play defense...this is why I fear next year...its not about hard they play..they will never be good shooters so they will continue to lose
Which people are these?If Thiam and Laurent had the years people expected. RU wins 4 more games in the B1G.
Let me add to this point. Much of the improvements that you'd hope to see at the start of a new year is due to the year's worth of playing and experience that the players got the previous year. Well, here we are, virtually at the end of that year, and the team still has problems scoring.This game is prime example of why people should be cautious about predicting improvements next year . . .
Give Maryland credit...they played great....Ru played poorly at times because Maryland was at their best...rutgers played a solid first half . Ru played worse vs Iowa...better teams can expose weaker teams
Except that outside shots haven't fallen all year. Because nobody can shoot.Little too negative. We hit some outside shots we are in this game. As it were, we were only down four at half. Not that far off if God forbid sone outside shots fall.
Most of the guards Maryland runs out there can actually shoot the ball. He might not see the floor on that team.Maryland isn't even that good and yet Sanders might be the RU only player who sees significant minutes on that team, and I'm not sure he'd start.
We have a long way to go and it's all about recruiting.
Don't think MD had 2 empty trips in a row, 2nd half. Almost perfect execution and hitting wide open 3's. Their interior passing is beautiful to watch. Big difference when everyone can move with the ball.
Gettys had a nice first half, but missed some easy shots and got blocked at least once. He plays like 6' in traffic. Made a nice fake from maybe 4' and then banked it over the rim.
When you can't put the ball in the basket, it really doesn't matter. Coupled with the fact that MD is just better and you lose by 20.
Would be nice to win the last one at home. As usual, won't be easy.
