Rutgers vs Wisconsin / Game Thread

At least Nigel is consistent. Misses the rim on a lay up and jump shot.
 
This is why we need to slow down the timeline a little. We clearly need more than one or two recruiting classes to improve the roster.

We are totally lost. This isn't playing the number 14 team. It's on us. Turning the ball over for no reason at all. More turn overs than points.

Surprised we look lost. Is it me or does no other team ever look lost. I watch the big boys against cream puffs sometimes and even the "--- Valley State Tech" schools seem to either have 2-3 guys that can nail clutch 3s or a crazy big guy that they dish to inside. We never have either.
The lack of time playing together against high-level competition is showing now. We are playing perhaps the best team in the conference on the road and it is gonna be rough in those environments.

I think it might take a game or two, against B1G competition, for us to take what we've seen, so far, up a notch. Whole different world out there tonight.
 
If we ever settle down when we get easy shots under the rim it will change every ballgame we are in. We had three easy layups that we missed, and a missed pass from a baseline inbound to a wide open Laurent under the rim.

this cannot be said enough times. Some of our fans way too enthusiastic. Pikiell is not a miracle worker. He still has limited talent to work with. Listen, Illinois was doing well this year OOC and they were crushed by Maryland tonight. These games will happen against top schools in league. As fans though I do not think we should get discourage either. Some games RU will compete in this year, some they will not

True but some of those turnovers aren't because if he other team. We just have the ball tonthem.

We look out of synch. I blame some of that on nerves and some on Corey not starting. We will right the ship and tighten things up.

they miss easy layups because they are not skilled enough and confident enough to do it, everything becomes rushed and sloppy, the team can do it against bad talent like FDU but not against quality competition, it is what it is

This is what it is. They will grow in confidence the more they play.
 
Nigel Hayes is one of the best players in the country. He's a matchup nightmare. We look worse than we are because he's a dominating player.

We also need to get control of our emotions. This game will get closer because we are playing very good D. It will translate into O at some point.

Corey needs to force the issue more. No one else is capable of making a shot or drawing a foul.
 
We don't look good today but we're still light years ahead of last year.
 
This team is obviously built on defense. We have good athletes. We just need some shooters.
 
Rutgers playing pretty good defense while the offense is abysmal except for Williams with 2 straight 3 pointers.Wisconsin leads 24-16.

Unreal..the last 3 TO's in the game have coincided with TO's in The Holiday Bowl. Give me a break, please, lol!
