Listening to Pike at the presser is pathetic!

Pike, whom I love, sounds like a carnival barker at his presser. He doesn't want to admit that he and his staff have FAILED MISERABLY down the stretch. The loss against Minnesota was unforgivable. Pike was exposed there for not calling a TO when his team was discombobulated, allowing the worst team in the league to outscore them 15-4 in in 1:15. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on Pike. And the fact that he continues to be loyal to Paul over Derek is IMO a crime. Paul, whom I used to really support, has become a somewhat of a liability and refuses to realize he has major advantages over the guards he plays. Yet, he fails to score against them, and throws the ball away and possessions.

Pike FAILS to run the offense through Cam and never seems to get him open for enough screens. As great a defender as Caleb is, why the EFF does Pike allow him to take the ball up the floor and run the offense? Caleb is the WORST shooter on the team. If Cam had even six more possessions, we may have made a game of this.

Congratulations PIke. You have gone from an NCAA team to either a bubble or an NIT team. FAIL!!!

Tonight's press conference was a disaster. First, Steve complemented the Rutgers fans, who left early in droves during the most important game of the year, allowing the tiny Northwestern contingent to be heard at the end. Then, Steve gave a shout out to the performance of the band and the cheerleaders because he couldn't find anything positive to say about his players.

Worst, Steve repeatedly mentioned Caleb's bad back and how Caleb was unable to practice yesterday due to the nagging back injury. Steve added Caleb played 39 minutes tonight in spite of his poor physical condition. Why is Steve informing Juwan of this Achilles' heel? Watch for a hard foul on Caleb in the lower back area on Thursday.

So I didn’t see Pike on 2 straight possessions write on his dry ease board Double Wolf a play where Cam cones off 2 screens.

Was it my imagination?

Yeah, it was your imagination Mr. Contrarian. Pike has done a PISS POOR job of freeing up Cam ALL EFFIN' SEASON! Put that in your pipe Green Rice and smoke it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, nothing $10k more can’t fix. You really think the school is footing the whole bill for Pikes extension? Time for Pike to kiss some more booster *** after leading this epic meltdown.

Props RU MAN. There are two particular losers, FinalBust and Flouxy, who just argue with everyone. Very sad souls. I wonder what they have planned for next 8 months when RU eliminated? Scary thought.

Pike comes up small again ! 3. 1/2 weeks 8 games from 2nd in big ten and a 4/5 seed to out of the tournament. Multiple coaching problems in the MINN game. Only won PSU because Simpson saved him with Paul in foul trouble. If Paul did not get in foul trouble Pike does not play Simpson and we lose the PSU game. 3 straight home losses and the offense continues to regress. Pike small in big moments. He values loyalty over legacy.
