Who goes 8 minutes without a basket

In the second half of a game?

The offense does not look the same in the 2nd half. The penetration, alley oops, layups, and open squared up threes seem to disappear.

We are the collapse kids this year. Getting old already.

This team. It's just comical to watch.

Long stretches without even getting a decent shot off.

 

[zappaa]

I don't think we hit the rim for 5 minutes

To hear the announcer from Princeton talk about how back in the day everything used to come thru Rutgers. A basketball Destination.

To think I was OTB then (77-84) makes me so sick to my stomach to think how long this mess has gone on. Almost impossible to this bad thru so many changes for so long.

Sorry folks but Eddie's not the answer here. Does Hobbs let this play out another two years or does he pull the plug after next year? This isn't about getting EJ's kind of kids in here. It's not just talent. It's BB IQ and how many times have we've seen the same kids make the same mistakes over and over and over again without ever learning how to correct it. Either EJ is incapable of getting into that kind of minutia or the kids just tune him out and play their own brand of playground BB that fails so miserably on this level.

This sums up the b-ball program perfectly. Since we are in a state of change, we may as well change the b-ball coach, we all know how this story is going to end.

Agreed. I fear we're just going to go through the motions with EJ and be in this very same situation next year. Someone started a thread about Amaker. I have to say that he has matured and is doing great things at Harvard. I would take him or Hurley over Jordan in a heartbeat.

I think Hobbs and Amaker are buddies, if so, let's make it happen!

FYI - Raiders, 5-6, with a legit young QB. That is keeping me sane from the RU nonsense.

should have answered the same school that goes like 5 games without a TD pass from its starting QB...

 

[ImBadRU]

A team that does not run plays, doesn't pass well, doesn't set picks. But a team that stands around has a good chance of not scoring.

I have been critical of EJ in the past (and been attacked for it), but I think you guys are taking a one-point loss to a decent team a little hard. Bad nights for a couple of key players. It happens, particularly in December with what is essentially a new team.

The parallels between the two programs are amazing, aren't they? Long stretches without scoring, 2nd half collapses...

Its the Rutgers Phenomenon and ought to be the studied by University Grant. We need the Women's Soccer team to break the curse.
