Basketball Rutgers Women's Basketball falls at home to in-state rival Princeton

Coach talked about Princeton’s size advantage. What size advantage. We have several players that are 6’3”, including 2 starters and 2 off the bench. Princeton has a 6’4” and 6’0” starter, and a 6’4” player off the bench. Where’s the size advantage? I’m not buying it for one second.

You really have to question her coaching as this is year4 or 5 and we are going to be nowhere near 500
 
And Antonia Bates is supposedly injured and is “day by day”. Isn’t that what they said about Smikle, who subsequently entered the portal and is now lighting it up at Maryland?

I can assure you these are not in anyway comparable situations.

If you were at the game you would have seen the obvious size advantage.. if you're quoting from the published roster then they are not accurate. Their starring center #22 was several inches taller than Destiny and Chyna.

Of course I’m quoting from the published rosters. Hard to believe they are that inaccurate.
 
The Princeton Bigs are not just tall they are big! Come to think of it most of their players look like they spend as much time in the weight room as in the classroom.

Coquese is in her 3rd year, but needs to have the program play in a way, now, that gives hope for the future or year 4 should be denied and RU should look for someone who can make Rutgers a real good program again.
 
She’s played in 5 games, at least try and put some effort into this.
She’s played in 4 games this year, the maximum in order to take a red shirt year.
Also unlike football if you appear in even just one game you burn your redshirt in college basketball (outdated rule in my opinion but that's a discussion for another day)
 
And in fairness, she was a late spring hire so basically year 1 was already set in stone before she even came aboard.
agree, but the team needs to show it's starting to become a good program, even if this winds up a losing season. Hope for the future must come out of the way the team competes this year, even if it's not shown on the W-L record
