This is the play where I lost it. This team is either unwilling to fight or lacks hustle. They expect things to come to them instead of going out and taking it. It's a very soft team that doesn't work hard. Defense is effort, we give none.
Effort? He's one of the ones who stood there and watched as the lone OSU guy got the rebound and put back against 3 Rutgers guys. This play is still seared into my brain.
Was just adding him to the list of busts. It’s just not a high major roster. They didn’t play well against Alabama either but Harper’s unreal game masked that.
No one expects the rest of your team to only contribute 30. Getting 2 from Jeremiah , 2 from Jordan for 36 minutes , 0 from PJ, 0 from JMike , 3 from Zack in first 3 minutes and 0 thereafter , 0 from Dylan Grant . The total lack of agression on both backboards , defensively in man to man and rotations , getting any loose bal , allowing second chance points , was shocking to say the least. They literally cannot play a less instinctive game in their lives. Rare we will get 30 point totals a game from Dylan and ACE but if it happens cannot get the no shows on both ends from the 6 guys I mentioned.
The guy who plays the same position for OSU as Ace went off all game when he wasnt in foul trouble. I am not exempting Ace from the rest.
I give him credit for the effort
I notice a slight improvement there as well as a concerted attempt to do better guarding players. Not their first couple of games but definitely more so every game. He just seems petrified of getting in foul trouble because he knows he will have to come out and sit. Hard to play aggressive and smart that way.
agreed. worth noting he didn't do a bad job (from my memory)guarding Nelson of Alabama
Rutgers is getting double digit combined scoring from Ogbole and Sommerville at the center position.The shooting guard and power forward positions need more consistent scoring
