56 of 78 Fordham points from 2 Frosh and a Sophomore.
Enough.

STOP THE “YOUTH” talk...please (re: today’s game)
- Thread starter AreYouNUTS

Fordham recruited kids that can put the ball in the bucket. Rutgers has not.
You Completely ignored the facts. They have 8 FROSH on their roster and 56 of their 78 total points were accounted for by two freshman and one sophomore. Hence, the “youth” argument, doesn’t hold water today.
So what?
My point is that upper classmen dominated power five teams don’t lose to nothing special mid-majors. Fordham can lose to worse teams just like we can. Today they happened to beat a better one.
Well coached teams , upperclassmen or lowerclassmen , do not lose to bad teams from bad conferences. Badly coached teams do.
It’s relevant because sometimes you don’t show up. Why don’t people understand this? We’re average. When average teams don’t show up, they lose. Young teams sometimes don’t show up. Frankly, I think it has more to do with us not being good on offense, but whatever
The less talented a team is the more disciplined they have to be on offense ala BU & Fordham. We need to be more disciplined and allow less freelancing. Our offensive fundamentals are also poor and we're easy to defend because we basically run the same thing every time down court. If you can defend the pick an roll we have difficulty scoring. Defensively, we simply don't have the personnel to play all man. I know why Pike wants to play all man - to keep up defensive intensity, but it doesn't give us the best chance of winning, simple as that. We are almost the perfect 2-3 zone team - tall outside and slow inside. I like us as an occasional 2-3 matchup zone team - 2-3 zone with man to man principles, maybe even some 1-3-1 match-up.

There’s not talent because recruiting has been pretty bad. Need to get closer to the middle of the conference 7th or 8th ish to make a jump. 2020 is there year to do I assuming this season doesn’t tank which was always a possibility after Corey left early.
"Young" (as a team) doesn't mean bad. "Young" means streaky and inconsistent.
Any given freshman can be incredible. A team full of freshmen and sophomores will sometimes be incredible and sometimes really struggle.
saying people should stop talking about how young the team is because another team that had young players did well, is like countering a climate argument by pointing at that day's weather.

Because I was talking about yesterday’s game, I don’t give a shit about any other game right now, I’m not sure you understand that. We were plain and simply outcoached and their freshman and sophomore’s destroyed our freshman and sophomore’s. Why is this so difficult for you to understand?
Again, I love our head coach, I think you’re missing that part of the equation, don’t get me wrong!
