What the hell is wrong with our team. I’m sorry but we have a bunch of losers. Unbelievable

I can't believe Collins let Boo go one-on-one at the end of the game after three times having no success earlier.

What's the fun in watching these games when even if they're playing well, you have no confidence they can hold on down the stretch??

Then how do you explain every imaginable way to lose? I understand it’s basketball but in basketball just like in life you have to bear down and learn how to manage pressure situations. I hope these kids do it in life. They aren’t on the court

A bunch of underclassmen playing scared because no one taught them how to maintain a lead and close out games. Lack of on-court leadership starts at the top, coach. If I’m CCC, I have this game and the Purdue one on a loop in Welsh-Ryan the rest of the year. There’s coaching basketball, and then there’s coaching winning. This is not a talent problem. This is a culture problem.

Do you think they are trying to lose?

Little much to call a bunch of 18-20 year old kids losers...

It’s a basketball game.
I mean we’re 1-11 that’s the definition of losing. Nobody is saying they’re bad kids. I actually think they’re very talented, but at this point they do not have the fortitude to win.

Has Rutgers lost at home this season? I’m disappointed we lost, but this is a far from well rounded team and they are playing tough most games. I think some people get a little too wrapped up in watching games where 18-22 year old kids are playing. It’s entertainment, little more.

I was way less frustrated today than last week.

1) last week we were at home. This week we were in one of the most hostile environments this year in the B1G
2) last week we lost in 3 and 1/2 minutes. Today it was more like in 5, and we managed to go into OT
3) last week we played stall ball. This week we played hero ball. This week it seemed less choice and more just inability
4) most important, we went to the RAC and had the game in the palm of our hands. That’s way more than most teams that played there
5) Jones is gonna be a player

Still pretty sad how we can’t close out games. Games where it’s not even about the last few posessions. Just about holding on to a hard earned lead.

We had almost a 20 point lead midway through the second half and are 1-11. Something is wrong, as this has happened how many times now this year?

No, they’re undefeated at the RAC.

Be interesting to see CC go big at the end of a game and make other teams deal with the size. He tends to go the other way when truthfully Spencer and boo (as a fresh) aren’t that great at 1v1 to close games.

I thought jones was great tonight and yet he hardly played the last 15 min or so
