Love the crap talking . We have a bunch of dogs on our team and I love it
Paul Mulcahy!
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
The 6 point play was the turning point of the game.
if we have 3 perimeter guys on the floor asgood as we did today Paul makes a very good 4th player.
announcers did a great job showing how Paul effectively screened the zone

I always thought that when your team has a big guy like Cockburn whose offensive game is based so much on barreling into guys that you never really have a right to complain about officiating. That Myles was able to play the number of minutes he did and be so effective with a guy like Cockburn out there throwing his weight around is kind of amazing.
Was on the Illinois board and it was funny how several said Paul will make the All Punchable team.
Pauls play around the rim, whether rotating help or getting hands on offensive rebounds was a big factor in the win. I dont know if he’ll ever average 10 pts or 5 assists like i thought originally, but i never expected to think he will average 5 or 6 rebounds a game and not care about the rest because somehow he’s just an x factor that cant be denied
I doubt it was the same people that were giving compliments. A loss brings out a different type of fans.

Said it in another thread. The kid is a winner and he makes tons of non stat sheet winning plays.
I love when Paul is more aggressive crashing the offensive boards. When Rutgers as a team attacks the rim relentlessly and the offensive boards, it wears teams down and breaks their will. Its demoralizing
He will be the proverbial coach on the floor. I can already see him on the sidelines when he’s done. His hoops IQ is off the charts.
I think Paul can put up 10 ppg & 5 apg but right now we don't need him to. We need a player to do the little things and he's playing that role perfectly.
Eventually, I think he will put up more #s when he's an upperclassman and others graduate. That's a sign of a good team.
His game has evolved. He made a major contribution with a completely different role and style than he used to play. His most promising game yet.
He was asked to play power forward yesterday and did it well. Great game by him.
Guess there’s plenty of room on the bandwagon. You were the kid‘s biggest critic and ragged on him all last year.
You're right, but it's amazing how many haters suddenly appear when things go wrong.
Agreed. Definitely not the BYU Ainge who people saying that may not recall was a prolific scorer who would create his own offense on the perimeter.
Mulcahy is a very unique player. I can't recall anyone at RU that has anything compared to his style. But, come on, he does have limitations. He's not a shooter and he gets consistently smoked with on ball defense. He's good helping out and scrapping on the boards and in the paint but we also really miss Caleb's scoring/shooting capabilities and he's got excellent length on defense also. If Geo had been out for any significant time we REALLY would've missed Caleb's offense.
I said yesterday in the text group I was in ... Can see him averaging 10-11 points next year or his senior year ... With some games 20, especially close games where we are up. With his smooth stroke from the line he could get 7-8 points in the last 60-90 seconds just from the line.
I agree with most of the love everyone is throwing at PM but his lack of any kind of jump shot is more then just a small hole in his game. We really need him to be at least some kind of threat to hit open jumpers. If not, good teams will be sagging way off of him and going under on screens resulting in a clogged up the middle for everyone else.
I can’t recall any major conference rotation player like Paul. None. Nothing remotely close.
There was some funny stuff on twitter during game about him ("white guy with headband on Rutgers") being next in line top hated player in college hoops and belonged on Duke
I find it interesting that he is so willing to challenge his team mates as well. Seemed to be about positioning, think I saw it on both ends of the floor.
Also saw him chatting with Pike on the sideline that looked more involved then typical coach player conversations.
Obviously this kid loves the game, and loves to think the game, figure there is a coaching career at some point in his future.
Nardi was obnoxious and always in the right spot. Not necessarily their games being similar, but it’s the same time of attitude and approach towards the game.
Did Nardi have vision? Was he totally fine on an offensive possession going in and screening players on top of a zone?
If we had to pick RU guys.
Mix of Joel Salvi and Dane Miller
Or Sean Axani if you prefer

lol. His head snapped back like a fighter taking a good jab to the face. Nobody on the planet has the neck reflexes to fake that.
I see know reason to call out people acknowledging how well he played yesterday.
Even if they were critical of his play in the past.
This is a regular occurrence in the world of competitive sports.
