RU MAN · Nov 30, 2015

Set up a play Eddie. Let's win this damn game!

Mr. Magoo1 · Nov 30, 2015

Goode or Williams. Someone who has a chance.

Pritz99 · Nov 30, 2015

We have to make foul shots, play reasonable defense. Don't know how good WF is, but we've played pretty well --- two long droughts/no D.

FrankZ_RU93 · Nov 30, 2015

Please - a lucky fluke...anything

RUonBrain · Nov 30, 2015

4.6 seconds to go

I'd be shocked if we even get a shot off

RutgHoops · Nov 30, 2015

That was a good look for Corey

Mr. Magoo1 · Nov 30, 2015

Good god Williams is bad . Not even close

soundcrib · Nov 30, 2015

Like I said. Can't shoot.

RU MAN · Nov 30, 2015

FU Williams. You suck!

FrankZ_RU93 · Nov 30, 2015

And that

RU Mike73 · Nov 30, 2015

Sigh. Once again Charlie Brown.

Caliknight · Nov 30, 2015

We suck. Bad.

AreYouNUTS · Nov 30, 2015

ugh....tough one....but fully expected to get blown out tonight so there's that!

RU MAN · Nov 30, 2015

Good one Eddie. Set up the play for Williams who can't shoot the broad side of a barn.

Mr. Magoo1 · Nov 30, 2015

Wow. That was an awful game. On the plus side we brought them down to our level.

It's sad when we take a loss as a moral victory.

TruJerz_rivals · Nov 30, 2015

pretty entertaining game in the 2nd half. Gotta like what you seen from Laurent, Grier and Lewis today. Best game for all 3 players. Going to need them to play well going forward to even have a chance to have a respectable record before conference play starts

NYSportsFan · Nov 30, 2015

Drawing up a play for Mike Williams. Ok Eddie. Have u watched tonight's game Eddie? man I thought Derek fisher was killing me during my day job with how much he plays Lance Thomas, now I come home to a nice relaxing Rutgers game to watch Mike Williams for the game winner, which we didn't need a 3 by the way and he could have drove cause there freskingg 5 seconds left!!!!! Ugh.

PatrickRU92 · Nov 30, 2015

same story. No offense, not enough players with offensive skills (and yes FTs are an offensive skill).

RUTrack94 · Nov 30, 2015

At least we didn't get blown out and are in close games ... Hey recruits ... One player makes the difference in SJU and WF games.

RU848789 · Nov 30, 2015

Sad ending - best we could do was Williams from three? That's two major blown games in SJU and this one - we really ought to be 5-2. On the bright side, we have some talent and we do seem to play pretty well together, but we still have those long droughts and are still not so good at FTs (biggest difference in this loss). Still think we're going to surprise some "better" teams this year.

Local Shill · Nov 30, 2015

The coaches change, the players change, the results remain the same.

soundcrib · Nov 30, 2015

Corey taking the ball out? Scratching my head.

And some of you want 5 Mike Williams's on the floor? No thanks. 6'1" and Can't shoot.

RUeric · Nov 30, 2015

I have no words for that final play call. I just don't get it.

RutgersJoe · Nov 30, 2015

That's a brutal loss after being up 12 at one point. But Wake could end up a ranked team ; certainly not an embarrassing loss and we at least saw glimpses of a good team in the second half. Once again foul shots killing us

Scarlet Shack · Nov 30, 2015

This team is short a shooting guard right now

Mike Williams is a perfect third or fourth guard. Not enough offense to be a 30 minute player:

Laurent and sanders are true pieces to build around

Local Shill · Nov 30, 2015

10 wins is starting to look like a stretch. Just numb between this and St. John's and it's not even December.

Scarlet Shack · Nov 30, 2015

The out of bounds was there...kid did not execute it...

Mr. Magoo1 · Nov 30, 2015

I was ok with Williams taking the last shot since we have no shooters and can't make foul shots. Next time, not so much, I am starting to agree that Williams may just be a "shooter" who can't shoot. You'r allowed to miss, but he was sh*tting diamonds he was so tight. You can't throw up a brick. Not in a million years did he think he was making that- and that's a big part of it too

bac2therac · Nov 30, 2015

2 timeouts to run 2 awful plays. This was not only a poorly coachee endgame but last 8 minutes as well by Eddie

78CollegeAve · Nov 30, 2015

Nice job by EJ putting the ball in the hands of his only playmaker ... out of bounds. Year III? Same ol' Rutgers. Quality of coaching down the stretch was about the same as the recruiting class of 2016 -- zero.

Joe -- Wake ranked? Please, they'll be lucky to win 4-5 games in the ACC.

That's a given.

We are a horrible shooting team. The one time it makes sense to get something going to the basket, we draw up a 3 from a guy who hasn't hit one all game. #genius

Dear God, please get some shooters and a system that doesn't involve 4 guys standing around watching one guy dribble. It's so ugly.

Just started watching....quick observation about the thread, those that post about bad plays don't post when the team is playing well.....Where are they during the 2nd half ???

Defense is good and Rutgers is outscoring WF by 11 in the 2nd half.

watching and focusing on the game vs. being here and focusing on the posters. (I know you like to do that).

So we played better ball when we made shots. Then we reverted to the more selfish game and of course gave it up with poor shot selection which of course made the shots harder and it went from there.

I do not get going to Lewis down low end game . He played with great effort tonight and had a good game but he is not the option when you need a basket. Nor was having Mike heave on up from three when you need 1 point at least and had 3.7 more seconds there. You drive to the rim and hope at least for a foul.

I'll give Eddie props for sitting Freeman and Daniels for their out of control efforts earlier in the game. We got beat by a much more focused and controlled team of Frosh and Sophs who were playing on the road. Did you see them out of control or play with a plan and purpose?

RU82 · Nov 30, 2015

We had two good looks to win it and missed both.

Sigh

There is a reason he won about 40% of his games coaching in the NBA. No one should be shocked watching these head scratching decisions.

DHajekRC84 · Nov 30, 2015

Can somebody please tell Goode it is ok to take a shot from the outside? Would like to see if he can actually make them. What's the problem. Nobody else on this team thinks they don't have the green light 100% of the time. We need to pull the defense out.

It's the only thing I've got after blowing yet another nice lead.
