The worse part of this embarrassing performance is that Rutgers has one of the most experienced starting lineups in the Big Ten and yet they are playing like newcomers .To compound the problem the bench is a total no show.

Is a gigantic blunder by Pike to add to a growing number of misses..Agee, Hyatt,Reiber, Palmquist, etc
Cracked a halftime potential rally (lose by 7) beer and now half is on the floor. This is gold.
He seems to legit gain 20 pounds as the season goes. Constantly unprepared. Making this big I’m going to the NBA after this season speech during preseason was not smart. Should of let his game talk, which it isn’t. Looks silly.
At least let him play…there is absolutely nothing he can do to play worse than MCConnell just did.
If I were Pike. I’d start Jaden the rest of the season. Let him take the lumps and learn, at minimum give him 15 minutes a game or he’s probably gone. So idiotic.
well.. they started out trying to play team offense.. but Ron did not get involved.. Geo did but not as a shooter... then they reverted to one on some moves that went nowhere resulting in desperation.
He likes the goodies in vending machines. Nothing wrong with that. Lol
Will be interesting to see if we respond in the 2nd half. I’m not sure of that.
Sure looks like blowout city.

If you think this is bad..good luck trying to keep Geo and Ron engaged vs our gauntlet. We will upset someone..we also will lose one by 25 plus
@BigEastPhil same here as I’m sure you do. Only difference is me and you aren’t claiming we’re heading to the NBA hahaha
It's going to end up like the Maryland game. We might make the final score respectable but it will never be close.
A loss here means Rutgers will have a loss against four of the bottom 5 Big Ten teams:
Maryland, Penn State, Minnesota and NW. And we barely got by Nebraska.

Not sure Jones adds much either. This "Best Team Ever" has costing Pikiell credibility with the fan base. Not all, as there are those clearly behind him, but many others.
I'll say it again. Team has regressed due to poor coaching, we miss the 3 guys people said we wouldn't, no pure shooters on this team, recruiting has been bad. All falls on the coach. This team isn't even in line for an NIT bid with the upcoming schedule and the way we're playing. I think Pike has peaked. Props to him for getting us this far but the writing is on the wall. No players are beating down the door to come here. He messed up not building on our last 2 seasons. Damn shame.
