Rutgers vs Maryland / Game Thread

[kcg88]

We have no complete basketball players. Not even close, really.

Pikiell has obviously given up on this game if he has Issa in.

 

[koleszar]

Thiam is awful

He lost his starting role and that didn't do the trick. It's getting time to glue his ass to the bench. Even his defense is now lacking.

He’s pathetic

 

[Scangg]

Just play Mathis Harper McConnell Johnson a ton of minutes all season to get them experience for next year. Less thiam doorson and kiss

I just left. Simply put, reality is were a bad basketball team and dont have enough big ten quality players. Montez is showing huge flashes but what the **** is pike doing playing issa so much when hes a HUGE gaping hole in the O? Pike better get some shooters on this team fast. The only play we have who can get to the rim is montez. Teams are swarming geo outside. This team misses corey dearly.

Bottom line pike needs to start recruiting players who can score. You can teach defense, it’s alot harder to teach natural scoring ability.

 

[BOCA93]

If Thiam is still sick, and literally can’t buy a basket, why is he even out there? He should be a match up nightmare for every team we play yet he’s a non factor

Agreed. Harper, mathis and mcconnell should be our leaders in minutes here on out outside of geo and eugene

 

[kcg88]

Baker's bad games are HORRIFIC. Good lord.

 

[bac2therac]

Calling a timeout down 24. Lol

 

[Shell21]

My guess is Pike knows the game is over so he is trying to get Issa going and give him some confidence going forward . Problem is he’s horrible and it’s probably doing the opposite

 

[RUTrack94]

Wow ... just turned in ...looks like betting on UMD was guaranteed money ... really expected 10-12 point loss, not 20-30

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

If the announcers mention us/geo being worn out one more time........ WE played 3 games in the past month. No one is worn out

 

[DJK8]

McConnell and Mathis have SO much potential. They need all the minutes they can get to prepare for future seasons

 

[MORRISCOUNTY]

Peter Kiss has lost all confidence.

He played well at the beginning of the year with baker but now he is a vegetable.

 

[kcg88]

I wonder why we didn't see more Carter in the first half when the offense was sputtering. Or why he isn't out there now.

 

[bac2therac]

And the Rac is emptying out

 

[kcg88]

Maryland is only shooting 33% on threes. Not a case of shooting variance doing us in.

 

[Plum Street]

And the Rac is emptying out

Should have emptied out a long time ago.

 

[bac2therac]

Peter Kiss has lost all confidence.

He played well at the beginning of the year with baker but now he is a vegetable.

All the talk about him being the best shooter and gamer were fake news

The rotation today is head scratching for sure

 

[kcg88]

I haven't been very impressed with Geo's off ball play. Everyone seems to assume him moving to SG will cure everything.

 

[MORRISCOUNTY]

Baker 1-10, Kiss 1-4 and Thiam is 0-4, How is that even possible?

 

[bethlehemfan]

Kiss has absolutely no handle whatsoever.

 

[MORRISCOUNTY]

Bac:

I think Kiss needs some help to build back up his confidence and maybe more hours in the weight room.

He was an offensive threat in the beginning of the year and now he is MIA.

 

[koleszar]

Who's Shaq Carter? Where's he been Pike?

 

[kcg88]

McConnell, Mathis, Harper, Omoruyi, Carter should be our starting five next game. Not even joking.

 

[RU MAN]

Just play Mathis Harper McConnell Johnson a ton of minutes all season to get them experience for next year. Less thiam doorson and kiss

Agreed. Although, I think Kiss can still be salvageable. Unfortunately, he's too streaky. And lastly, we need to get Geo right. He looks terrible out there.

 

[soundcrib]

Shaq Carter can hoop. Why doesn’t he play more?

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

Pike is lost on who to play tbh. Carter should be playing 25+ a game and issa shouldn't touch the floor anymore as much as I hate to say it

 

[bethlehemfan]

Kiss is so limited with his lack of handle I don’t see him ever being a factor.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Just left. Wow. We are a mess. Mathis only bright spot.

 

[kcg88]

Our bench outplayed theirs. Put this one on Baker and Kiss doing nothing and Omoruyi doing little.

 

[zebnatto]

Most lopsided fourteen point loss ever.

 

[RU MAN]

Kiss is so limited with his lack of handle I don’t see him ever being a factor.

He's streaky. But if he can get hot from outside, he can be a decent contributor. Sadly he's looked terrible of late. He wasn't too bad in the two opening B1G games. But then again, our entire team looks terrible out there.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Hope you’re right not seeing it. Maybe he catches lighting in a bottle and scores 10 points one night.

 

[sct1111]

This game is 100% on Geo.

 

[Russ Wood]

Sorry for the outburst. I've now reached the point of apathy, you caught me at anger.

All good. I was low key hoping for a Rutgers win btw.

 

[soundcrib]

Start Harper over Kiss.

 

[greenknight]

Thiam is awful

Have said this since last year je is 6'10 male version of brittany griner...marshmallow. not a D1A basketball player. He needs to put on 30lbs of muscle
