The up way too late game thread
- Thread starter Trekology
- Start date
Some small improvements in the talent department, but it seems like the usual. Undisciplined, sloppy play. Creighton is awful. They got beat by like 50 against Indiana.
And to make matters worse, their best shooter Huff was left wide open in the corner. Our defense is atrocious.
Lay up drills for Creighton. Ugggh
Tough to watch. If they aren't getting to the rim or taking circus shots, they don't score. Basketball shouldn't be this hard.

Agree. Year three and same basic garbage product on the court. Rutgers continues to field low basketball IQ teams and that falls on deficient coaching.
Frustrating sequence ... Daniels sparking RU on offense, with 9 points this half ... but on the last sequence, was out of control, and with RU down 6, after he gets the ball back he takes a wild shot against a much bigger defender, which misses badly and leads to a wide opne 3 on the break for Creighton ... Creighton up 9 now.
Stop giving the ball to Foreman. Can't finish. Can't shoot free throws. Unfortunately there's no one else to put in.
They should be able to stay in games against bad teams by playing defense but we play none and haven't in 3 years.
No only are we fundamentally UNSOUND on defense, we don't even do the basic things like rotate down or block out. Totally undisciplined. Our offense, which seemed to be running through Corey nicely in the first half has turned into wild playground ball. This is the same garbage we saw last year and the year before that.
Defense is nothing more than effort and communication. You can see these kids aren't being taught very basic concepts like man ball, stopping the ball on fast breaks, and overall team d.
This team is going to be hard to watch. Any very average talented team with a coach who has half a clue will be them. Just dumb basketball.
Unlike the St. Johns debacle, this was a see-saw game in the first half and then we come out in the second half and lose all composure. I dare not say why, but I will say that EJ and his staff have a lot of work ahead of them. I will stick to my preseason win total of 11 wins. Maybe less.
