Is Rutgers the worst place to play in the conference?

“The RAC” looks like a fucking joke

Lol, I live 15 minutes from the RAC.

It's a hole for sure. Wooden bleachers as far as the eye can see and no alcohol sales.

To say Rutgers kids are apathetic about the basketball program would be pretty accurate...

Indiana and Ohio St appear to be taking the same route to the NIT

After seeing the highlights I don't think Matthews shot should have counted. I'm not saying he didn't get it off before the shot clock, but however, if you look at when Gabe's shot went in the clock stopped with 30.9 seconds left. Matthews clearly had the ball in his hands with .9 left on the clock. For some reason the shot clock didn't start on time.

I a tually noticed the same thing . My guess is the clock operator started the clock a few tenths of a second before the onnoinds pass was touched

Nah we good . Just gotta make open shots when they're there . I quit counting at 8 shots that went halfway down then came back out. Weird because the same thing happened the first time we played MSU. Had about a 10 minute stretch in both games where nothing was falling. Open shits too not even great D. Weird. But also we still tend to let our offense affect our D. If shots aren't falling we tend to speed up on D and that's not good for us

I think we are ok on athletes . Cook is a freak , Moss is streaky but athletic and Baer and Weiskamp are good athletes. Our biggest spot where we lack athleticism is PG but Bohannon is typically great with the ball and s knockdown shooter so it's tough to complain but he does get beat off the drive too much which leads to open 3s off the help . I'll be happy with a tourney bid and hopefully a win or 2 this year . Pretty much everyone is back next year and we add a top 50ish recruit

I am fine with Bohannon's D if he is hitting 40% from 3. He has to be under 30% this year, especially against good teams.

Any chance Cook stays around? I think he should, not only selfishly, but I don't think there is any chance he gets drafter. If he comes back, next year could be legit.

He's not even top 100 on draft boards so he'd be stupid to leave. Bohannon is 39.1% on 3s this year so solid but he needs to hunt his shot more imo

Agreed on Cook. Just after him "testing the waters" last year, I assumed he will this year.

In my opinion, Bohannon has moments this year against bad teams. Felt like last year he was more clutch.

Give this starting squad another year and they could be contenders

Cooks issue is he doesn't have much range . Tough to be a NBA player if you're range is 15 feet and in . If he could add a 3 point shot he'd be nearly unguardable

and add 3-4 inches. He is too short for his position in the NBA. I hope the best for him, but I don't see how it will happed

Well if he could shoot he could play the 3. He's got good handle and can pass . His issue is right now he'd need to play the 4 which he's tall enough for ( 6'9) but he's pretty skinny to take that banging

Looks like MSU is easily the best team in this conference unless I see something good against IU tonight from the Wolverines.
