Pike outcoached today
- Thread starter ImBadRU
- Start date
RUs two leading scorers (PPG) are a combined 1-12 with three points. I’m not sure what any coach can do to win under those circumstances.
Team missing shot after shot after shot
This is where talent takes over. Michigan has it. We are still developing it. A couple more 4 stars like Young and Mathis would be immensely helpful against a team like Michigan.
Hes still double teaming on perimeter and getting destroyed. It's not working.
I thought he would have figured it out at half time but there were no adjustments and it got worse

The defense on screens was historically bad. Never seen a team get beat this badly on simple pick and rolls. Who the **** is teaching myles to hedge that long?
Remember arguing last year Geo was a below average PG in the Big Ten. Took a lot of abuse - hah!
that's the game story--had to be the worst shooting performance of the season for RU
disappointed with not adjusting to their pick n' roll though
Yet we still would have won if we just laid off Simpson and made him beat us. Instead we had Myles hedge out as far as he can and get beat on dunks and wide open 3s all game long. It was insanity that was the game plan in the first place. The fact that we never adjusted was shocking. Inexcusably bad coaching from Pike. Disappointing since it's so simple.
we got beat by thr better team today bounch back game on TUESDAY still on pace for bid wven with aloss on Tuesday
Yes suprisingly Howard outcoached him...also there were points in the game where the wrong guys were shooting the ball. However its not Pikes fault that Harper and Geo didnt show up
well if you go to our 2 previous home games we had severe offensive funks and it showed up again today..that is something to watch out for...its 3 in a row where the offense is like crap
defense and rebounding is the key it was a bad match up today need to win a road game soon with one we need tun the table to get a big dance ticket
Worst game since December 3 against Pitt. But we still only lost by 6 points.
The thing is, EVERY team in this conference has put up MULTIPLE stinkers in league play, and everyone has gotten blown out at least once. Our worst loss all year is by 12 points at MSU, a game we were “in” deep into the 2nd half.
This UMich game was our “stinker.” Just disappointing that it was in a neutral site game at MSG in our backyard with 10,000 RU fans supporting us.

Whenever a rutgers team loses in your mind they were out coached. 100% of the time. This loss was our team not being ready for prime time. We had 40 more shots. This was on the players. We played like ****.
he was outcoached because they ran the same friggin play all first half....RU played reallly good D in the last 10minutes so Pike adjusted but RU was abused on defense in the first half and into the 2nd half as well
and i also agree, they played like ****, especially when they couldnt gather themselves in crunch time given another shot to win,

Harper and Baker played like butt.
Pikiell could have coached a little better...but it’s gonna be tough to win games when those two are complete no shows.
Go back into your PSU closet @ImBadRU
We took SO many ****** shots off the dribble. We could probably count with 1 hand how many shots Michigan took off the dribble.
Putting the ball in Caleb's hands at the top of the key is INSANE. I love his shot but he ain't taking ANYONE off the dribble. We put our ourselves in position where it makes it unlikely that we'll be successful.
We also started forcing contested 3's too early at the end.

that’s why outshooting a team by 30 means almost nothing when you’re taking bad shots

In retrospect, Howard clearly watched RU’s last 5 games or so and realized our players arent coached on how to defend simple pick and rolls and instead our bigs aggressively double every screen leaving one player open. They exposed us, badly. And i expect many other teams to do the same.
The good thing? It is such a simple fix, can literally be fixed in 2 sentences/one breath.

Fortunately for us, Coach Pike has outcoached other coaches 16 out of 22 times this season, including 7 of 11 in the Big Ten. :Rutgers:CHOP
