Only positives from the first half are Ace and the fact we are miraculously only down 6. We can certainly come back and win but everyone not named Ace will need to wake up. That includes Dylan who really did not have a good half.

When will the fire Pike threads start. This is a horribly coached team
People forget Pike's seat should've been hot after last season. But he was given a pass because Ace and Dylan were coming in.
And people had the audacity to think UConn was going to steal him.

Utter and complete hot garbage

The epitome of the Rutgers fan experience- we get two generational players but get zero quality players to support them and zero game plan to set the team up for success.

Getting *** kicked by a **** SHU team
Sums it up nicely

We only forced 3 TOs against a team that averages 15 TOs. Pike is playing right into Sha’s hands by NOT pressuring the ball. Letting SHU run off 25 seconds on every possession, and not trying to force TOs.

And on offense, all we do is dribble, and then dribble some more. RUN A FVCKING SET TO GET SOMEBODY OPEN FOR A THREE.

It's a shame we don't have anyone considered a good ball handler, so we are forced instead to watch Derkack drive completely out of control to the basket five or six times a game.

Holloway couldn’t have hoped for a better 1st half. Turn game into a total eyesore and hope to take RAC out of it. To be down 6 feels fortunate.

Team needs to man up.

It's like that initial alley oop pass fails and then we just rush/panic stuff all half.

We’re not flipping a switch. If we win, it’s going to be grind it out
By flipping a switch i mainly mean

1) stop turning the ball over
2) communicate in defense so you know who youre guarding
3) look just half organized on offense in the half court
4) make 70% of free throws

The only positive… is that by some miracle we are only down 6 pts.

The negatives are… too many to even name. But a few really stick out:
1) most of the team looks like they don’t even want to be playing (including Dylan, who has weird body language and is getting cookied every time he drives somehow?)

2) we have one reliable shooter (Hayes) and he never shoots

3) we have many unreliable shooters and they seem to have no hesitation in launching it from Canarsie

4) we are getting completely bitched around

5) we need to get mad. We need to feel something. It doesn’t really appear anyone is perturbed, at all, by what just happened

6) this is Ace Bailey’s chance to own this team. He can get fired up in the lockerroom and use any leadership he’s got inside of him to say “my boys jump on my back and I’ll carry us to freedom today —- all we need from you is to exhaust every ounce of yourselves in this second half. I want you to be like scarlet banshees on D and the boards I’ll drop buckets and find yall open and bring this one home”

If you ever wondered what RU would look like if one of Ace or Dylan wasn't able to carry them; you are finding out today. Dylan has been really bad in this one so far. I think he has as many turnovers as points if not more.

Ogbole needs to play 15 minutes in the second half, Lathan cannot defend and is getting killed on the boards.

It would be nice if we had a concept of an offense, instead of 4 guards standing around the perimeter until one of them turns it over.

Dylan has not been really bad. His coach does not have him prepared for SHU’s defense

2 F***ing 3 pointers.

NOT ENOUGH. we have guys that can make them but we never seem to get them open shots
the problem is we have guys who can’t shoot taking them ( jordan who has no conscience) and in other games other guys. how about pj or acuff setting a screen or coming off a screen to open it up for them or someone else. if you have ace or dylan setting a screen for one of them do you think they’re leaving them ? no of course not , but alas we don’t ever do that
