Sucks taking your 1st L. Sucks more when it's your 1st conference game. Sucks more when it was on the road. Really sucks when it was against a team that steals your lunch over and over again. In the end though it's one loss. Beat Nebraska and win against AZ and this game will be forgotten for awhile.

Sucks when after they take your lunch money they toss 48 cents back at you while walking away laughing. P-U-N-K-E-D

I’m sorry but Race needs to ride the bench! He seemed totally checked out recently, not sure if it’s due to Reneau or what but he didn’t seem like he was even in this universe for this game. I think some are underestimating the effect of having JHS. X seemed like he needed to be the guy again today and he didn’t have it today. Yes JHS hasn’t been a juggernaut in the points column but I think his presence seems to keep X in the right state of mind on the court. Oh well on to the next one.

TJD intentionally fouling to get off the court #threwinthetowel

I mean he was probably pissed in general. He literally had a guy slam into him on the break and not get a call. Dude is fine.

We had the #13 offense coming into this game and we've been missing open shots all season. The offense we run is fine. Acting like we only get open looks because opponents don't feel like guarding us is both disingenuous and silly. 

The poster I was responding to was referencing the ‘quality shots’ stat from last year, so that’s what I was talking about. Before today we’ve had 2 games against good teams. TJD and Xavier had 53 of our 81 points against Xavier and 41 of our 77 against UNC. We’re overly reliant on them because we don’t really have good options outside of them, and Xavier is too inconsistent to rely on. He has great games about half the time, duds like today the other half. When Trayce isn’t otherworldly the offense looks very pedestrian.

Seems like Neither Archie nor Woodson can recruit or want to recruit shooters. Crean had shooters at least. 

Crean also had a guy switch shooting hands in between seasons and never found a point forward he didn't like. Really want to go back to that?

I didn't say anything about $. They straight up take our lunch. Punch us in the mouth and rip the PB&J from our lunch pail.

Curious though was there something with the 48 cents or just a random # you used?

At some point, a coach or coach is just gonna have to come out and say how god awful the officiating in the conference is. It's absolutely pathetic. Guarantee against Nebraska, it'll be ticky tack fouls all game. 

Its bad in all the sport.

He bright in one of the top guards in the country plus Gunn. And he kept Kopp in the starting lineup despite everyone’s protestations here. 

JHS is great but he’s not a shooter. Never has been. Gunn committed when Archie was the coach and isn’t good enough to play right now.

Yah I'm there too. If there is one guy on the team I'm even kind of down on rn, its Race. Could still turn it around, hope he does

Some do not recognize the defense that Rutgers has.

We shot a whopping 57% from the free throw line, no defense on those.  I can't believe a bunch of college players are that bad at the easiest shot in the game.

Unfortunately another game where if he isn't getting post feeds early on, he starts to disengage. Really hoped he was beyond that by now. 

I'm more disappointed in that the three other bigs gave us zip.  2 points between Reneau, Thompson, and Geronimo.  TJD most definitely didn't have a good offensive game at all, but Got Omuryi in foul trouble and TJD defended the middle well.  Race and JG gave up drive bys and I think Reneau must have punched some ref's kid the way he gets called for fouls.

Coming in, I thought he was doing a good job of accepting his role with decreased touches.  But he HAS to stop shooting perimeter shots.  Today, though, he added nothing of any value.
