Rutgers was never going to win in double overtime
Set up a 3..win or lose
Rutgers needs athletes thats for sure

GO FOR THE WIN
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
And maybe some new assistant coaches!
Careful. That’s taboo to say that on this board.
There it is...you could live with a missed 3 there.
Especially TJ…
TJ and BK are the ones bringing in major recruits
Pathetic end to a sad season. Hopefully next season's 5-star won't decommit.
Meh Derek had a great look and Cliff was in position for a put back.
Unfortunately the ball just didn’t bounce our way. Not the first time this season.

Agree. I was surprised we didn’t try to kick it out to Cam there. Maybe it was covered but it seemed like the play was for two. Anyway, need to take a step away. This team was stressful. Time to move onto the stressful Cubs rebuild.
Just like what happened against Minny, the opponent shot the lights out at the end
You can look at it as RU blowing it, but the other team played really well on offense late both times

It should not have come down to the final play in OT.
Simpson also makes the free throw at the end if he had been playing less earlier in the season.
If down by two I think driving to the basket is the play, more so at home games
If a game goes another overtime so be it

THIS...I was afraid he'd go to Simpson and as a frosh doesn't have the end game stones yet. We saw it with Purdue. But he will be very good
Simpson has plenty of stones lol. Have you been paying attention all season?
Him missing that shot had nothing to do with his playing time throughout the year.
i missed the game tonight but was saying the same thing to my buddy today. we need better athletes and so does the BIG in general and it’s why most of the teams haven’t done anything in the tourney recently . Finally in 2024 we are getting some big time athletes and can maybe play a different brand of basketball ala bama and houston who still play great d but have athletes all over the floor. Someone’s gotta break this trend in the league so it might as well be us
Would’ve been fine if the just ran that same V cut to Cam that they ran earlier in OT.
Not a fan of the play. Spencer earned it and has to take that shot.
We had 2 fouls to give at the end of regulation , we should have fouled them to run the clock down.
Its mind boggling that Rutgers had a rare offensive explosion scoring 84 points and still loss the game.Rutgers did lose six games at the RAC in front of loud crowds which tells me there needs to be roster changes for next season.The lack of bench scoring has been a problem in recent seasons.The lack of players that can create and make shots off the dribble needs to be addressed in the transfer portal.The biggest concern is the 2024 recruiting and how it will be impacted by the disappointing end to the season.Higher level talent is needed ASAP.
the team has no killer instinct and no sense of urgency, they play with a very much stay the course, we’ll get‘em next time attitude. They lost the game in the beginning when they come out with energy, have the opponent on the ropes and instead of going for the knockout punch and getting a sense of doubt in the player’s heads, the take their foot off the pedal, loose focus, unload the bench, let the other team get back in, get comfortable, and set up the 40 minute dogfight. Not sure how much is on the players and how much is on the coach, but we are taking about a coach that has a larger sample size of this pattern than the players.
You literally have the dumbest takes. He made a good soft shot that just didn’t go in. Had nothing to do with your premise
Hofstra hit some ridiculous shots in overtime, but it shouldn’t have come to overtime. We were up 5 with what, 27 seconds left?
Common thought is that you go for the tie at home and win in the road.
This is different circumstances here since it’s win or go home in the NIT lol but it’s not a huge deal.
Yes we would have probably lost in double OT the way they were dropping shots and our guys were probably getting heavy legs.

Their best player fouled out of the game in the second half and we still were playing on our heels for the entire overtime period.
It should have never been this close. Where was the stifling D? 88 points from Hofstra, are you friggin kidding me!
The game changed as soon as Rutgers made its first substitutions in the first half. Hofstra got a life and began believing it could compete with Rutgers. The Rutgers bench needs a complete overhaul.
Incorrect.
BTT wins:
2017: OSU
2018: Minnesota, Indiana
2021: Indiana
2023: Michigan
NCAA:
2021: Clemson
That's 6 wins
Rutgers wasnt going to win this game if it went 20 overtimes...needed to try there
Our defense was horrendous i dont care how many great shots Hofstra made
really....because we didnt get a stop 2x at the end of the game, we didnt get a stop on Hofstra last possession and they were continuing to hit and were hot. So do you really think a 2nd ot would have worked..any evidence of that. were you at the game.
