We have been playing sloppy BUT

all of you criticizing that last play on offense is ridiculous. That was a good call and MJ just missed from point blank as he was hesitant.
As a team we just look lost or a step behind so that’s why Clemson was able to close on that last play

I just don't understand. The only thing working offensively is our big guards in the paint. Harper and McConnell with 12 of our 23 points..all coming inside.

And we don't go back to it. Don't run sets to get them looks inside. Don't do anything besides the same **** that isnt doing anything remotely close to breaking Clemson's halfcourt defense down.

The offense is unwatchable which makes it easier for Clemson to control the game.No easy baskets and the outside shooting is woeful.The second half could be the last time some players perform in a Rutgers uniform.There is no tomorrow if Rutgers loses tonight.Its up to Baker and Harper to win this game.

Mathis must sit. Bench must be shortened.
Johnson needs to wake up.
Young needs to stop turning it over.
Mulcahy should see limited time.

Young, baker, Mcconell, Harper, Johnson and cliff the rest of the way please

All the dribbling we do is playing right into their hands. Also would help if we actually made a couple 3s. Harper throwing up bricks

Exactly. Myles has no offensive ability. And if he can’t defend the other big, it spells trouble.

Even if makes it there is 4 seconds left which is plenty of time for Clemson to go up court and get a good shot. There is NO WAY you should be giving up a layup in that situation. Geo should not be starting with 8 seconds on the clock. NO WAY.

It was run 5 seconds too soon. Even if MJ made the dunk they would’ve had 5-7 seconds to push it down the court and drill a 3

That’s on Geo, wasn’t watching the clock

We need to speed the game up on offense to
Take it at them..they have been fouling us..keep that going in a faster pace.
the up tempo approach would change this entire game as it would wake our guys up

Calm down. They played like crap. And yet they are down by only 3. They could have a great 2nd half. If they don’t, oh well. What can we do about it?????

I hope cliff plays more in the second half over Myles. MJ is hurt. Don’t play tez either. Go with geo, Harper, Caleb, Paul, young, cliff and Myles.

Myles Johnson is the softest 6'11 player in college basketball.

Looks like they're collapsing on Johnson and he's been bottled up or turned over when he touches it.

Myles should NEVER be dribbling up court...give it to a guard and go!


How Harper has a short memory and better jumper the 2nd half.

Geo needs to look for shot and drill it.

JY is a shooter, stealer...also turned the ball over.

And we're only down 3.

Let's go!

It’s always been clear as day. Myles can’t shoot: not free throws, not lay-ups, not mini hooks, not nothin’. If it’s not an alley-oop, a tip in, or him with the ball and no defender between him and the bucket, it’s dicey—often a turnover. But that’s us. Bad O, good D and rebounding. So keep up the D, rebound like crazy, and hope someone, anyone gets a little hot in the second half. We’re still right in this game.

Pike is crazy oh he doesn't have Harper driving and geo getting his *** inside the 3 line for some shots.
And every single time we go in it always has to be a force..not a single kick,out.
This team needs to score much much better or we're toast,
Myles posting is not the offense. Get it up tempo too. Stop this stall offense crap.
Later.

Stop he took the layup with 4 seconds left. 5 seconds to late means we don’t get one up.

You guys are looking to complain about something and for some reason you are picking this one that gave us a layup. Myles, 6’11”, senior should have threw that down as an exclamation point before half.

mulcahy can play more if he will shoot the damn ball. He passed up at least two good open shots. He becomes a liability if he won’t shoot the ball. We are already offensively challenged and we can’t afford to also play 4 on 5.

Besides Myles missing those last 2 shots, we were
7-10 from 2 and 2 for 13 from 3.
The execution and shot selection on offense is just so fricken bad. Its not even a talent or shooting thing,

Panic is written over many of us now because down by 3.
Pike will adjust, team will settle down a bit so Young plays like the player all here has complemented one time or another , usually after bashing him a game or so before.
Myles will play like the player who we adore at times in the middle and have those crying to take him out , praise how he helped turn the tide of certain defeat ( going into 2nd half 3 points behind) into a Rutgers victory .
And Geo will be praised for his leadership while RHJ will be called the tought man alive when RU needs that.

On the bright side, after his early foul Myles didn't commit another. In fact, no one is in foul trouble for us and Clemson has more fouls that we do. In fact JY's and Ron's fouls were absolute b.s. Looking for positives here.
