Willard would have pulled the plug if he could. Sha would never. Rutgers has been better than usual in recent years. Next year should hopefully be a Q1 opportunity at their place with the reinforcements they have coming in to play.In my humble view, in previous years when we won against Rutgers, we always were dragged down by their performance. In the seasons we lose to Rutgers, like this one, we're dragged down by their performance. As long as we play them, win or lose, we're dragged down by them. I wish we would schedule a different team, but to make local media happy and other reasons, we don't and will always have the issue to talk about.
I would hope to have pulled out a win against USC but we were a different team at that time. Just keep going and winning what we are supposed to and hopefully sneak a win against heavily favored conference teams. Hopefully our previous wins against the ranked teams and other good wins outweigh that loss. Go Pirates!
I agree with you cams555, and hear ya HallisLife. That NIL factor is creating chaos for all teams as we saw during the off-season. After last year, I'm afraid to count any chickens not only before hatching, but until they're deep fried on my kitchen table looking at me.Maybe their 5 stars will wake up decommit and come to a place that will help them grow.
If only NIL wasn't a factor
This is extreme. He lost Spencer and Mulcahy last minute and had no time to replace them. That’s 2 of his starting 5 and veteran players that know his system to boot.Rutgers has about 2 big ten caliber players on their roster. Pikiell is being exposed as nothing more than an average coach. His recrutiing is terrible, and he has been completely saved by NIL. If next years class wasn't so great then I would say he would be on the hot seat- if they underperform like this next year who knows. Rutgers is an embarassment right now to college basketball
I believe he has not one, but TWO, of the top 3 rated incoming freshmen in the country next year. If he can't make the tourney next year with that recruiting class, he may very well be on his way out.Rutgers has about 2 big ten caliber players on their roster.

This is especially true since for years Rutgers has had a terrible offensive system.I like how every Rutgers fans are having high expectations next year, but in this day and age you really can’t expect inexperienced freshman to lead your team.
SHU has one of the most experienced teams in the country which definitely counts for the turn around.
he lost them I agree, but he also brought in transfers who have been terrible and his vaunted recruit is either way in over his head or being completely mismanaged. Not entirely sure but Griffith does not look good.This is extreme. He lost Spencer and Mulcahy last minute and had no time to replace them.

Believe me I’m no RU defender by any means but to say he wasn’t dealt a raw deal this year isn’t being fair. To also say that he’d be on the hot seat if it wasn’t for next year’s class is crazy. He was a bad play away from taking them to the Sweet 16 in 2021 and went back to the tournament in 2022. This is Rutgers we’re talking about. He’s highly respected and has done a good job.
You can just put the period after the word embarrassment.Rutgers has about 2 big ten caliber players on their roster. Pikiell is being exposed as nothing more than an average coach.

If their NIL guys were smart they wouldn’t be throwing their careers away in Pissthataway!It’s going to be so nice to beat them next year with all their one and done NIL guys.
Two freshman and nothing else.RU is going to be good next year. Two lottery picks virtually guarantees it.
We once had two first-round draft picks after finishing .500 with a first-round NIT exit.RU is going to be good next year. Two lottery picks virtually guarantee it.
Maybe there's a love triangleThis is especially true since for years Rutgers has had a terrible offensive system.

I would say Mag, Hyatt, and Cliff are really the only B10 caliber players at the moment.
And I think the Mulcahy thing is more of trying to over recruit him by going hard after Noah Fernandez, so I blame Pikie for that one. For Spencer I’d give him a pass.
Still a terrible, terrible job by him all year
Hmmm, have you seen USC this year? (Yeah, only one lottery pick).RU is going to be good next year. Two lottery picks virtually guarantee it.
If you’re a lottery pick you have your choice of schools. Why would you waste that choice on Rutgers!? That’s like choosing liver and onions with lima beans when you could have filet mignon and lobster tail! In this case you aren’t even getting any bacon with your liver and onions either, instead you just have anchovies heaped on top and your meal is cold.RU is going to be good next year. Two lottery picks virtually guarantees it.
Win and you should, lose and you put your postseason in jeopardy. They really add nothing. It’s their national championship, they want to beat big brother. However, it’s not our responsibility to make Rutgers feel like they belong at this level.They’re having an off year. But the last few years they have been a good OOC foe in terms of NET
