What’s even less surprising than NU losing leads is your behavior. They do win once in a while; you are a loser every time.
At least "for life" implies an end, eventually
Finally I have to agree. Program has no direction, improvement, nor base fundamentals. It's time to make a change. Get the guy from Wyoming for $ 1.75 million. Improves the bottom line in two ways.
Gordie trying to find the right combination of obscure stats to justify Collins keeping his job:
It was one of nance’s poorer games of the season. 10 pts and 6-7 turnovers. That was pretty low on my collins’ questionable decisions list last night which was fairly long
They said during the broadcast that, last week, Rutgers only got its first lead with 1:30 to go against UNL. They won by two.
Should have just stuck with not saying that. Not only because Rick Pitino is a slimeball, but also because "Rick Pinto" isn't a real person.
Uggh... I can see the engine fire headlines already after another ugly NU loss with Coach Pinto.
Totally agree with Greer. He was the one who looked halfway competent last night.
Of the players who have taken minutes, Greer and Roper have taken Simmons minutes completely in conference play.
Though he was abused by Mulcahy. It was not a clear cut decision on what to do. Our players shit their pants down the stretch s having Greer there helps. But last night he could not even remotely slow down Mulcahy. Could have moved Audige to Mulcahy but who’s to say Baker would not go off? Could have put Roper in, that’s what got him minutes against WI when Hepburn was torching us. But then no Greer on offense.
That was a phantom foul. But Chase went off the reservation at times.
At times.
That's what i'm starting to wonder: Does this team play better without Nance? I can't believe it for a second, but I agree he slows things down. too much time to analyze. Too many bobbles.
The Division II conference I follow offers streaming of the games, something that wasn't even on the horizon when I attended school in the '60s. I stream a lot of my alma mater's away games, but I don't do it unless I know they've won. Yes, it takes a lot of the drama out of watching it in real time, but I also avoid the potential heart attacks that come with blowing 20-point leads. It isn't as nerve-wracking if you know they'll pull it out in the end.
Kudos to all the hard work Greer has put in the last 4 years to become a viable role player, but I’m not sure what it says about the other players or the staff that he’s the guy with the ball in his hands at the end of key possessions. Maybe he’s the only guy that will listen or they trust to try and do the right thing? Maybe he’s the only guy who isn’t afraid to take the shot- I have a hard time believing that with some of the chuckers we have, It’s confusing as an observer for sure.
I'm not down on Greer.
I've watched a few Rutgers games over the past couple of years, and Mulcahy is a good all-around "tweener" type of player who can create real matchup problems for a small guard.
I was wondering if our 6-6 guard Barnhizer might have done a better job than 6-2 Greer. I noticed the size difference, Mulcahy was long and used his size smartly. I recall we recruited him too.
Maybe he just plays in certain situations? Is this like Fitz in a committed relationship that should just be an occasional movie?
On the defensive end the mismatch went on for about 8 minutes too long. RU was exploiting it repeatedly. Why would Baker need to score if there's one guy scoring nearly effortlessly? In the rare times Mulcahy didn't score he passed to someone else who had a layup or dunk.
