Basketball Rutgers snaps skid at Northwestern behind red-hot shooting without Harper

Pike should be fired for that last shot play and allowing JWill to do what he just did.
****ing shame…why bring him back in and not let him eat! My friend thinks he is shaving points

jWhat an absolutely ridiculous half from Ace. God damn. Feels like we can actually survive the usual Derkack and JWill nonsense this game
Dercack is playing ok…just loses his kind often when driving but he is getting fouled and that helps.
Dortch and Grant playing well. Should have gotten more minutes earlier this season.
Criminal they didn’t play earlier on. Just from view they are both better players then everyone on our bench and fill holes where are weak on defense and rebounding. Also athletic enough to help on offense. Just baffles me with Pikes decisions

I was afraid Ace would get a charge and have 3 fouls.
He was getting a little physical and extending arms posting for ball. Could gave led to a foul. Worked out but 100% disagree with him in game. He picks up 3rd and whole 2nd half screwed

How do we build off this first half and not squander it? Asking Pike if he’s reading this board at halftime
Could you imagine in the post game presser: "Steve- why did you make the adjustments you did in the second half?"

Answer: "Well, I took the advice of LOU on the Knight Report Board. Been really worried about him, and wanted to make him happy."
 
BAILEY must not foul. Play loose man defense and rebound. If I’m Collins I attack Bailey on defense to get him to foul, besides doubling and tripling Ace when he has the ball.

The defense from Dercack is perhaps the worst I have seen during the pike era in the first half. He got torch repeatedly didn’t move his feet and played absolute AAU defense.

His offense of fake the shot and try to do the bully ball again did not work. He had a handful of lucky shots at the garden,
But it’s not something that’s going to reproduce and it drains everyone else watching him do his back in AAU ball. He seems to get an aces way a few times too much like he likes to call for the ball when Dylan has it in his hands. I give credit to Pike for pulling him after getting torch for the fourth time, but he really needs some talking to that going for Mantador. Defense deals is not defense
 
if they could just get a little more from Williams or Derkack in the second half – 0–2 and 2–8 from the line is not going to cut it. They will throw some kind of defense at RU that will force someone else to contribute something.
 
I said 20 for the game earlier. He has taken 10. Ace needs to take 10-15 more shots at a minimum.

NW coaches and players have to be wondering what the heck just happened.
 
I just want Ace to get the 40 points he deserved in the Indiana game that JMike wouldn’t let him have the ball in the last minute
 
Let’s hope No patented Rutgers 8 minute scoring droughts and no ace Bailey foul trouble
