Rutgers vs Fordham / Game Thread
- Thread starter LiKnight
- Start date
Guard size doesn't matter when you're always playing from behind and jumping from the side to block shots. Defense is played from the front.
You shouldn't need to lunge at shots when you have 6 plus inches on the guy.

Fordham deserves the win...playing better and making the shots. They aren't a good team but rode the emotion.
Rutgers players and staff should be embarrassed if this score holds. It's a pathetic display

This on Pike. He better show a little disgust and anger in the post game after this s..t show.
Gee, if only Rutgers could hire a coach who can recruit as well as Fordham’s. Or get them to play as if they give a damn.
Oh, right. It’s all about the facilities. That’s why Fordham’s frosh are shaming Pikiell’s kids. Yeah, the facilities.

All the goodwill this team built the last three games with the fanbase, gone in a lackluster little effort performance
SHU beats #9 Kentucky and RU loses to a freshmen led Fordham team
Pike deserves a lot of heat for this loss

That's nothing new. Geo can't stay in front of anyone with any quickness, and aside from just leaning on someone on D and follow up dunks on O, Doorson has no ability and really should't be taking time away from Johnson and Carter IMO.
One last point - this is what happens when you don’t have a single true point guard in the program. Sorry, Geo is a nice combo guard. But he isn’t a point. And Hobbs and Knight have been unable to find one. And next year, they’ll have one - and the excuse will be, hey, he’s only a frosh.
Nope. SHU isn't that good. I wouldn't be fooled by the KU win. They're not that good either. I actually think its a good match up.
Harper's a starter. Johnson is underrated. Mathis isn't a 4*. Carter could be decent. Geo is not a point guard and not very good at defending opposing teams' point guards. Play some zone. Post up Kiss and Harper. Don't ever post up Thiam. He's brutal inside. Run something else occasionally on offense. Stop fighting over screens 30 feet from the basket. It adds to opposing guards' penetration and leads to more threes, plus it tires out your players leading to having to play guys who shouldn't be playing. In short, there are a lot of things wrong. I like Pike, but whoever said this was as bad as Ash losing to Buffalo was right. This was an Atlantic 10 team with eight freshman. And one more thing - guys need to be told what is a good shot for them. Freeman was allowed to take whatever bad shot he wanted last year because Pike let him saying he worked so hard on defense he'd allow some bad shots. No deal here - play great defense and don't take bad shots.
