Rutgers basketball: Steve Pikiell and Cliff Omoruyi were fed up, so they punched back

Can a rare Pikiell technical foul change a season? Omoruyi's dominance of Nebraska was a good start. 'He fights for us, now we’ve got fight for him'

He neeDed to get that T!!

Cliff’s “I’ve had enough!” Dunk, which started from further away than any dunk I have seen from him, was the true turning point of the game!

If he stays another year, teams will not be able to get away with double/triple teaming, & hacking him all time. Ace & Dylan will be drawing the doubles, & the Cliff Jam could be in full force.

If he stays, with the grit shown from Derek, Mag, & other returning veterans, a Final Four or “Natty” is not out of reach..

Cliff staying on another year would be a huge piece of a possibly magical season.

““If you sat through a two- or three-hour film-session about rebounding with Pikes, you would rebound, too,” Omoruyi said. “Everybody’s rebounding now.”

I wasn't necessarily thinking Final 4, but no question that would be a very good starting 5. Every home game would have a circus atmosphere. We'll see if Cliff has a change of heart but he was pretty adamant that this was it for him. With all the punishment he's taking, and the lack of NIL for foreign players, it might be hard to get him to stay.

That was a critical part of the game with the bad referee call.No Cliff foul shots, technical foul shots made along with basket on next possession.

Those refs sucked moosecock

I thought Pike was going to drill Kelly in the piehole...and if he did, I would have cheered like hell!

What made it worse was that the technical came after Nebraska scored and so it would have been our ball.

If Nebraska was the first game of January, that might not have made Pike get the T. But add in the throat chop at Ohio State and the groin shot last game, both deemed "basketball plays, play on"... enough was enough.
