Basketball Rutgers overwhelmed at No. 18 Purdue with feeble defensive effort

[bac2therac]

its like the Jordan Louisville AAC tourney game

What exactly has Pike ever won? Does he deserve to come back ?

 

[bethlehemfan]

If only he hadn’t sat those two minutes he might not have gone on a 26 minute drought lol

We’d be winning right now!

Once you sit someone who is hot they can’t score again.

The contract negotiation

He won a tournament game. In 9 years. It was very special

 

[koleszar]

To hit the wide open 3

Oh, you were serious.

That’s not the question/ issue. The issue is that he has a long term contract and we would have to pay him $$$$$$ if we showed him the door

 

[RutgersChow]

Well, we're going to find out next year if Pike can assemble a team more like his past ones with hard-working guys willing to defend and play together as a team and maybe even take a charge or two. Will probably be offensively challenged again, but better on D. Can he get us back to 2020-21 level in a year or two? I have no idea.

If you're a real coach you get kids too plat hard.

 

[BOCA93]

Someone remind me, why was Hayes brought in again?

to be our Fletcher Loyer, but only in practice

Not even close... that was a massacre

The 98-65 NIT loss to Purdue was worse than tonight. There was no 3-point shot and we lost by 33.

If only he hadn’t sat those two minutes he might not have gone on a 26 minute drought lol

We’d be winning right now!

Ace would have another dozen points and maybe the game doesn’t get out of control so we don’t quit

 

[RutgersChow]

Then figure out a way. There's ways.

 

[fluoxetine]

nope that will be glorious actually

The Nebraska Ohio State game?

 

[BOCA93]

Even Purdue’s walk-ons are slicing through the D lol

 

[Shelby65]

Pike will tell you in the presser. This is on him. They’re figuring it out.

It’s the refs. We have two lottery picks, history says we’re guaranteed the big dance. It’s because they’re only freshmen. Pikes a defensive genius he will coach this offensive talent up. On and on and on. What a bill of goods we were sold. Program has nothing left. From laughing stock to the NCAAs back to laughing stock all in under a decade.

[RedTeam1994]

This has to be the most pathetic thing I I’ve seen in a very long time in sports or atleast since the Princeton game ;)

Their backups making RU look silly. Just sooooo bad

 

[tm_nj]

the backups are on a run hahaha cry

I hope that's a joke.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Hayes lmao

 

[RutgersChow]

I hope that's a joke.

Step down or be fired. Figure out the finances later.

 

[bac2therac]

100-71....what a disaster of a season

 

[RedTeam1994]

Hayes lmao

Pikes eye for talent on display

 

[koleszar]

What an embarrassment.

 

[Sweet Peas Corner]

****ing udder disaster if I gotta curse.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

f'ng joke Pike should only return if he donates half his ridiculous salary to the NIL

 

[tm_nj]

at least we didn’t lose by 30 yay!

 

[stribucher]

Post game from Pike: This is 100% on me. No kidding. Five more years of his sh1t

 

[blueoyster]

I don’t….but Blue Oyster Cult was my very first concert in 1980, so there’s that

It's a horse racing reference... a $10,000 claimer is a fairly ordinary pony. Nothing to write home about.

I am a hugh BOC fan. First saw them in 1975. Opening band was Rush, which was first time Rush was on a tour of the US!!

 

[RutgersChow]

If the University had any balls, Pikiel wouldn't coach another game.

 

[ajwsc1987]

It’s crazy how the wheels came off pikes tenure following msu win at msg.

 

[essexknight]

I guess losing your starting front court (Cliff and Mag) and replacing them with no defensive or rebounding presence was the wrong decision. No one could see this coming.

Saw them 3 times myself. Astronomy is my wife’s and my favorite song. Great memories.

Coincided with the nil era which rutgers basketball is not handling well so far.

No AD. No president.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Let’s stick to basketball boys it’s so much fun right now haha.

You are both (u and Beth's like) smart enough to understand being hot and what a simple thing can change your game. And just like the opposite when experts .not forum posters mention a player just needing to see the ball go thru hoop on a layup or foul shot to get them going.

It always is

 

[Shelby65]

Who's our best guard defender? Is Jmac, Jwilil, or Derkak in Smith's shorts? No. They may not be elite but the coach didn't give that a shot.
Foul the crap out of him? Anything.. that's coaching.

Ok. I'll agree. This experiment has failed. Defenders should be cheaper to buy anyway.

We don’t have good defenders my friend. We’ve been a top twenty defense forever. What’s different? It’s not the coach. If we want to complain about the roster I’m with you.

Shelby’s old lady Marian would have had a couple of buckets against RU tonight, probably double figures if JMike was defending.
