Basketball GAME THREAD: Rutgers Hoops vs. Michigan

[RUfanSinceAnderson]

Cliff is not playing 38 minutes. maybe end of game Hunter is tired.

Meh

 

[DHajekRC84]

Complete stupid by Pike

Infuriating

1000% why the frack does he completely disrupt the game with these insane forced subs where guys come in and have ZERO clue to how to run an offense ?

 

[Rokodesh]

Particularly with Dickinson still in the game. So long as he’s out of foul trouble, ya gotta ride Cliff

Even the dumbest coach on the planet would understand this. Absolutely no reason to sit Cliff, why Hyatt can throw it into the student section

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Need this basket bad. Hopefully a PM layup or Cliff slam. Anything but another Hyatt 3

 

[pmvon]

Not sure it was a good call to take Cliff and Paul out there

 

[B1GRUfan1]

WTF Pike??

 

[RUfanSinceAnderson]

Starters can't play all game. Bench players need to step up or this will continue to be an issue

Make a sub when dickenson sits

 

[RedTeamUpstream94]

Pike blew it with the subs

You can’t play the starters the whole game

He gave two of the starters a breather right before the under 12 TO. Kinda text book sub pattern .

More of a depth issue (no good back up to cliff) then a bad sub pattern

 

[BOCA93]

Ugh, brutal lineup instantly squanders a great start

Not en masse..not Paul and Cliff

Disagree you keep it rolling as long as you can. You don't stop momentum by your own doing. Strike the iron while it's hot and keep hitting it till it cools. He started the subs at 8 min. mark.

 

[BillyC80]

We should have fouled one of their guys on a dribble so we could get Cliff and Paul back in while Dickinson was tired. Now a timeout gives him a blow.

 

[RU-Hunter]

No foul trouble too

 

[RUfromNJ]

Dean on Dickinson is just

I'm pretty sure Cliff can play 10 minutes of basketball in a row

 

[DHajekRC84]

you don't need to completely botch the flow. The entire offensive mindset changed with guys jacking up crap one on one.

 

[RU Mike73]

Substitution tards in full bloom. Let the man coach. We are very much in control. Let’s see how it ends.

 

[GotEmmm]

Not en masse..not Paul and Cliff

But who is to say if he didn’t take one of them out earlier we wouldn’t have been up 10?

 

[Plum Street]

he was trying to get guys some rest.

There shouldn’t be a sub PATTERN. It should be a game by game decision.

Weeping

+1000

 

[jkernpop]

Thank you Paul

 

[Scangg]

Not en masse..not Paul and Cliff

The mass subs hasn't been working agreed. He's trying to steal some minutes and it's not working

If you only sub one at a time then you'll never have all your starters out there either which is probably what he's thinking

Or that the bench players should have some chemistry

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Thanks PM

 

[biazza38]

Yes PM!!

 

[Scangg]

I'm pretty sure Cliff can play 10 minutes of basketball in a row

He actually left him in longer than he usually does to start games

 

[jkernpop]

Nice drive by the young buck

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Make ‘em Derek

 

[RU Mike73]

The game is 1/4 over. Seriously??

 

[DHajekRC84]

yeah, cliffs less athletic than Hunter..ok lol.

 

[Scangg]

Wow a very rarely seen repost entry to Cliff

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Can Reiber handle Reed if Cliff sits when Dickinson sits?

 

[tfio]

Good response. For whatever reason this Rutgers team just can not play with a 10 point lead. Gotta start to learn how to build off them instead of going into a shell every time

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

Can we have Sirmons, Ogelsby and Ayers more often

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Can Reiber handle Reed if Cliff sits when Dickinson sits?

I dunno. Reed is a big dude. Dean is……not.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

The game is 1/4 over. Seriously??

Yes seriously.

 

[biazza38]

Make free throws!!

 

[tm_nj]

Pacheco you made us proud!

Yes that must be what he was thinking but I just don’t get it. Subbing in one at a time was working fine. Caleb blended right in. You can’t sit Paul and Cliff at once and give a Michigan team stuck at 3 points a chance to find their groove.
