I mean I would like subjective
tell me what you actually think the season is going to look like not what sounds nice

"We're going to surprise people"
Yeah, surprised we suck this bad.

Carino had us power ranked 17th in the tournament, ahead of UNLV. A program with win’s over Memphis and St. Joe’s. He’s a Pike apologist and fairly shameless about it
Not kidding! The whole staff should go but since we have cheapass fans that shop for LoBro rather than Filet Mignon maybe we need to realize who we are and think realistically with our $$$. We need to cut off the head at least at this point
I’m a Schiano guy, as some of you may know, but Hobbs extending both of them until 2030 really put the athletic department in a terrible situation/doomed us. It’s one thing if he didn’t give a **** about NIL(another huge issue) but giving out extensions for that long was beyond idiotic. Not doing **** about NIL + long extensions, yea his negatives severely outweigh any positives he did at Rutgers as AD
this is what bothers me the most. It’s obvious he just throws crap against the wall to see what sticks. Any effort would have told him that Jaden Jones is a head case. Any film study would have told him that Martini can’t rebound and defend at the big ten level and that he’s better off retaining Woolfolk if that’s all he can afford. Anybody with eyes could have easily observed that Souf Mensah was a D3 player. Too many head scratching personnel decisions that had nothing to do with NIL. To top it off his lualty to his assistants is insane. He has to know that his offenses are consistently abysmal even in the good times. Why not attempt to fix it?
The moment he didn’t do it this offseason is when I knew he had to be let go. I don’t care if it would have failed, but at least show us that you’re willing to make the necessary changes.
He couldn’t even do that…
O, they're laying it on hard now. Steve Pikiell bullsh*t quotes now, if you don't play hard for 40 mins. you can't be on my team.
This beauty drops Pikiell to FORTY games under .500 away from the RAC since 2019-20. That's being nice and excusing his first 3 seasons here.
24-64 and counting.

Brandin is part of the problem at this point. His offensive sets, if that’s what you want to call them, are easy to defend and predictable. There is not a single set that attacks the rim or forces defensive decisions. The motion takes place moving away from the basket and spacing is awful.
Pike kept the preseason top secret because he didn't want folks to see his train wreck garbage squad
I used different wording, but essentially yes.
Make no mistake this would’ve been a 50+ point loss if Tennessee played hard for more than 0 seconds of the second half
If I wasn't so disappointed in this program I would almost feel sorry for Pikiel. He is just so over his head. But I don't feel one bit sorry for him...it's time to do the right thing and resign. He's made a lot of $$ from Rutgers and should not take another dime.
I imagine the tone and tenor of recaps and podcasts the rest of the way are going to be difficult to get through
He extended every coach in almost all sports he gave out extensions like candy just a joke; 1 good season and you were given a 5 year extension
I feel sorry for him. He was what we needed when he came to Rutgers, and there were some great years before it all came crashing down. He’s got to be exhausted. Maybe he’ll talk to his family over Thanksgiving and decide it’s time to walk away.

Agreed
This team does not have enough talent to win the MAAC or Ivy forget about compete in the BIG TEN!
Too small, no athleticism, can’t shoot or score, too name a few issues
Those surprised people don't include Tennessee's players. Or anyone who bet on Tennessee to win this game. This is 911 Nashville bad.
He’s not waking away and he’s taking money for nothing at this point. Don’t feel sorry for him. He’s basically stealing money (a lot of it) like Jordan and Stringer did at the end.
Watching fundamentals like boxing out still be non existent year over year makes me continue to question how Pike has had any success here
Greg and Pike knew about his office affair and used it as leverage for their extension
Where was the BOG on this? I could not believe it at the time. Just unnecessary, now incredibly stupid.
