Rutgers vs Nebraska / Game Thread - BigTen Tournament Round One

[ColonelRutgers]

Jacob Young and Paul Mulcahy can't get here soon enough. Atrocious performance by our guards tonight. Only Myles and one-legged Gene competed. Next year if Geo is this bad and Mathis is too, we'll have SOMEONE to throw out there.

 

[RuBird]

Can't jump anywhere near as high. He almost has trouble dunking from underneath.

Easy. Sarcasm

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Shine is off Pike IMO

That’s stupid.

 

[Mr Magoo]

They have only 6 schollie players and yet we are fouling out. Geez.

Palmer is way better than anyone we have and he didn’t need little rests to be productive. He has way more heart than I thought.

 

[MadRU]

Hope this streak puts to rest the Baker is a point guard talk

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Shine is off Pike IMO

Relax.

 

[koleszar]

Hey look Baker decided to play finally when no one cares and the game is over. Good Job, Geo.

 

[soundcrib]

The clock was running!

 

[DHajekRC84]

Awful. That will leave a terrible taste going into next season.

Pike and the team don’t deserve a plane home

Put them on a 737 max 8 just to scare the $hit out of them. Safe travels of course.

 

[chrisru99]

We are a Woman’s Basketball school!!

 

[RUfromNJ]

Omg Peter Kiss

 

[RUChow]

Wtf is Doorson putting the ball on the floor?

You only have Carter for two years and your giving that stiff all the minutes. Baker starts to shoot after the game is over. Pike, where the f&^k have you been? AND THIS IS A ZONE TEAM - WAKE UP!

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Kiss is laughably bad.

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

So geo decides to start shooting now

 

[shields]

Kiss oMG just dumb.

 

[Hamilton's Cannon]

We didn’t finish last but we played like the last place team the past 2 games.

 

[King of S]

Foul-a-Romma

 

[ScarletDave]

Wow Baker with a nice 8 points, pretty good night for him huh

 

[whofrewdatmataRU13]

So like every other game we lost, one guy on their team goes off for 25+. Imagine we could ever get anyone like that

 

[80RU]

Their guy played with 3 fouls and our coaching staff didn’t go after him?

The worst was the fast break where Geo threw the lob instead of driving on him. Not the coach’s fault, but probably the worst decision in a game full of bad decisions.

 

[RocktheRac]

That’s stupid.

This was a very very poor coaching job by Pike in this game. 6 players and 2 walkons and he removes Gene and Myles at a crucial point in the game. And Palmer has 3 fouls and they didn't go after him. Pikes fault.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Can’t believe this 6 man team is fouling our team out.

 

[Hamilton's Cannon]

The all aspects of passing on this team flat out stinks.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

This was a very very poor coaching job by Pike in this game. 6 players and 2 walkons and he removes Gene and Myles at a crucial point in the game.

They were probably exhausted because they were the only two guys competing.

 

[DHajekRC84]

At this point you could call him cluster fvck and it'd be fitting. 0, 5, 2 pts. last three games.

Go back,last 8 or 9.

 

[B0ski]

Such a mentally weak team.

 

[JQRU91]

someone apply smelling salts to our coaching staff and players at halftime

Could have just reached for the chloroform and called it a season.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

They need rest. Stop it. Gene asked to come out. All year Myles never played more than 5 or 6 minutes at a a time.

The mistake I saw is playing McConnell the entire 2nd half and not going to (gulp!) Kiss.

 

[RU Mike73]

All the season good vibes gone. Last 3 pitiful.

 

[BOCA93]

21 turnovers! 31 games into the season and 21 turnovers

 

[RUboston]

It’s Rutgers. Why did we expect a different outcome? The futility seems endless. Nebraska’s walk ons played with more emotion and heart. Stomped by an undermanned team in the tourney. 21 turnovers. I’d like to say unbelievable but it’s standard. It’s so tough to be an RU fan.

 

[RocktheRac]

They need rest. Stop it

Well they will get plenty of rest now, lol

 

[B0ski]

Oh well, I don't have to watch these fools tomorrow.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Miles just ate shit running into the locker room

 

[koleszar]

This is so embarrassing. We lost to half a team of WALKONS. You have to be sh*tting me.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Pike was outcoached big time. Pathetic protection of ball. Low IQ tonight of basketball. Caleb in there way too long.

 

[Scarlet Bri]

Hate seeing the refs laughing it up after calling Gene for the offensive foul. FU refs! They clearly happy with the outcome

 

[RUChow]

We go as geo goes z. Didn’t show up the last theee games . Don’t know what is going on with this kid . Can’t be so hot and cold all year . We need his leadership and he hadn’t shown up with any swagger lately

He's kind of slow, he's a poor distributor, and he's really just not that good. And aside from hitting some big shots late in games he hasn't been good for weeks.

 

[80RU]

I’ve had season tickets for over 30 years. I’ve never left the arena early, or stopped watching the TV early, except when I’ve desperately had to be somewhere. This was the first time I just stopped watching because I couldn’t stand it. I think it was because the EO foul made us look like the bad guys, not just the losers. I couldn’t watch after that. I guess there’s a first time for everything.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Palmer with 27 second half points to become 22nd highest all time BTT scorer in game.

This and the Illinois game were Jordan like on taking out a hot player. No adjustments.
Terrible coaching job there Steve. Very disappointing.
