Rutgers-Northwestern Game Thread

[JimmyJack39]

I like Pike, but aside from maybe Eugene, every single player on this team has regressed from the beginning of the season. Not a good sign for the future

 

[Rutgers25]

I’m down on Doucoure. Hands aren’t good and can’t block shots at all.

 

[RU Mike73]

Geez suddenly down 9

 

[RutHut]

after watching Doucore and Issa, please put in Freeman.

 

[FrankZ]

Souf points are like gold

 

[RU848789]

Doucoure is absolutely killing us - so ineffective.

I don’t know about regressed, but no one other than Omoruyi has improved....in almost two seasons.

 

[soundcrib]

Why does Doucoure start?

 

[ScarletArmor]

This team desperately needs a sharp shooter like Falzone.

 

[PatrickRU92]

was that really an illegal pick there?? looked to me like he was set.

 

[shields]

Some of these kids are playing too many minutes, maybe that is why they regressed. Mensaf scored, my goodness.

 

[Rutgers25]

I don’t get why Baker is so tentative. He’s turning down open looks on a team with no scorers.

 

[BillyC80]

Doucore needs to spend the off season with Eugene and learn how to use his feet, on both sides of the ball.

 

[JimmyJack39]

I have no idea how this team beat Seton Hall. Can't fathom how that happened after watching this team the last 3 or so weeks. Really disappointed in this program and Pike.

 

[TruJerz]

play Bullock

 

[FrankZ]

7-21 shooting. Baseball players would envy, but this is not flipping baseball.

 

[bac2therac]

Defense sucks tonight..down 26-16

Playing at NW pace..game needs to be in the 50s or low 60s to win. Rutgers cant outscore NW in a track meet. Right now NW is getting everything they want

 

[sct1111]

Offense is like pulling teeth.

 

[RU848789]

Thiam could do that all day - why doesn't he? This game is there for the taking - NW is not that great.

 

[RU Mike73]

30% from field

 

[RUsince52]

Doucoure is absolutely killing us - so ineffective.

Might as well have anybody in his place.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Seton Hall would blow us out of the gym right now and they’re not playing that well either.

 

[RU848789]

We must have the softest post players in America.

 

[RUsince52]

It was wide open to the basket, but put some bodies in between and it's a no go.

 

[RU848789]

Maybe Shaq heard me, lol - nice sequence for him making 2 FTs (after going up weak, admittedly) and deflecting that ball out of bounds.

 

[BigEastPhil]

McIntosh right shoulder killing him. Eugene crushed him on a pick at about the 10 minute mark recurring his shoulder

 

[FrankZ]

Rewind. Did we make 2 FTs in a row?

 

[shields]

Cut this lead.

 

[soundcrib]

Freeman in the doghouse. He’s always been the one with the $hitty attitude this year, yapping at teammates. Not Corey.

Someone made a great point in another thread. Freeman wasn’t pulling this $hit with his act with CJ here last year.

 

[sct1111]

Why does Doucoure start?

What happened to him? He looked very promising in the beginning of the season. Looks like he lost confidence.

 

[bac2therac]

We won the last 4 minutrs 4-0..do it the next 4 minutes and ill be happy

 

[FrankZ]

What happened to him? He looked very promising in the beginning of the season. Looks like he lost confidence.

Definitely better at start of year

 

[RUsince52]

We must have the softest post players in America.

Add with no offensive moves 5' from the basket.

 

[FrankZ]

Pardon me. I’ll take that.

Hat. :chairshot:

 

[JimmyJack39]

I applaud Williams for being back, but he's looked awful since he came back.

 

[sct1111]

Definitely better at start of year

He had a nice 15 footer at the begining of the year. Looks like he's thinking too much.

 

[FrankZ]

Would have missed an ocean. Good grief

 

[G- RUnit]

Williams touched the ball twice and two killer turnovers.

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

Just be glad Freeman is sitting. Don’t question why

 

[biazza38]

Thiam! Yikes
