Rutgers vs Maine / Game Thread

I’ve never seen such an inept roster going into a coaches third season and I’ve never seen such poorly thought out combinations. And even with all that we should be able to sleep walk passed this particular Maine team.
 
So, UMaine might wins its first road game of the year and get to 3-11 with wins against Fordham, Rutgers and ... Maine-Machias. A sentence that has never been written in the history of college basketball. What a disgusting lack of effort by the players and staff so far today.
 
After seeing the women stop playing after the first half yesterday and just hang on to win, I am convinced that RU just can't play big time BB.
Add to this stew that we suck in football too and you have little to cheer about.

Harper plays d like me.
Hes not laterally quick on the D end, frankly none of our players really are. We should be a zone D team due to our lack of quickness and deficiencies with on-ball defense but Pikiell is dead set in his ways with us being a man D team
 
This team looks poorly coached....first time I said this under Pikiell

It's very Fred Hillesque
Lots of issues Undisciplined. Too many 3s. Still a lot of game to go but this is not encouraging. No desire except for Mathis and Eugene to go inside.
 
Im really not kidding, I play in a league with a lot of former d2/d3 kids a few low level d1 players and theres a lot of players in these leagues who could help RU, in particular shooting. Granted theyre out of eligibility but we simply cant shoot

They are packing the zone into the lane daring us to shoot. Smart strategy.

Why do you keep reiterating this?

It's a completely different team from the first few weeks. It looks like they're all playing hungover.

This Maine team is absolutely terrible and yet they moved the ball 10x better and played better defense. The zone works against us and us playing man with slow, big guards is just not working.
