We’ve hit the wall
- Thread starter zappaa
- Start date
We played over our heads for awhile. Reality is setting in. We still might make the NIT though for the first time in awhile.
Leaving a team wide open for 3 has finally come back to bite us. Two games in a row. The big ten all they do is shoot the 3 and we haven’t learned that in 7 years in the conference
Or sometimes you just run into a hot team
And we have no one that we can count on for an outside shot. The B1G is figuring that out now and playing accordingly. Perhaps the pundits where right -- no. 12 in the B1G is where Rutgers belongs.
EDIT: Spoke too soon. Gotta eat crow as Baker says to me "Yo, just let us play!"

lol we lack good offensive players. We don’t have one legit outside shooter.

Are people really bumping hot takes when we were down 6
Geo just busted thru your wall.
It was a hot shooting 3 point shooting team in the 2 d half...that's what happened.
holy crap. what a bunch of debbie downers!
Yet we made three incredibly crucial big time three pointers down the stretch
Have to think many of us thought this was the day we finally lose one at the RAC.
Great win after playing poorly to a snake bitten team.

You’re so full of sh*t.
I posted what I was thinking in my head at the time.
Why?
As a fanatic I’m not allowed to communicate I thought we looked tired.
When we were up 55-41 the team said , “ok we can coast home now “ ... well , it wasn’t a case of hitting the wall ... it was more like man we are good... Nebraska did us a favor ... we ain’t that good.
As others mentioned they didn't get back from Iowa until like 2 AM. Then had to go to class the next day. Fatigue could definitely be a factor
Agreed, and it’s not a sin or an insult to communicate it
We had a bad game. It happens. We won. Next.
Good teams find a way to win when they’re not playing well.
To be fair, people--we sit at 6-3 in the B1G in third place at 15-5. Nebraska beat Iowa and Purdue, and lost by 6 to Indiana, and hasn't really been housed by anybody. B1G is really tough this season. Can see us getting 18 or 19 wins by end of the regular season, our first winning season since 2005-6 when Gary Waters was our coach. Don't see any wall, and we may just have gotten Geo really back when we need him.
We were down 66- 72 then hit 3 - 3s and held them scoreless to win. Talk about knowing how to win!
Rutgers has outside shooters but they aren't consistent.
There was some luck involved too. They missed a wide open 3 from the corner just before Geo's shot.
This is the type of thread a long time Rutgers fan comes so expect! Was anyone calling for the Pike to be replaced before the game was over?????
Zappaa I got your back here....Nebby was on a 31-11 to take a 6 point lead, its pretty preposterous for posters to be getting on others for comments made in frustration. Yes maybe its better to hold off, but it does say something about after a great win there are the same posters who do this all the time focusing their energies on calling others out instead of enjoying the win..wtf
RU MBB fans have been conditioned to think, The Sky Is Falling anytime the team starts playing poorly, especially after losing a pretty good lead.
Knock the negative thinking all we want, but that's a product of the way Rutgers used to play and getting use to they way Pike is having them, play will take time to get used to.
As for hitting the Wall, it might have seemed like that was happening, but now we might just be singing:
When the walls come tumblin' down
When the walls come crumblin' crumblin'
When the walls come tumblin' tumblin' down

Pike is going to get better and better recruits. Imagine this team with some consistent sharp shooters.
I was at the game and was thinking at the end that we would probably lose but I never stopped thinking we might pull it out. I thought we had a puncher's chance.
By the way, I cannot stand the nickname "Nebby". Something about that really irks me like finger nails on a chalkboard.
