Harper jumpers at 5:00 Mark turning point

[bitnez]

Geo had just scored 11 straight points. He was on fire. Coming out of the TO Harper took 2 3s early in the possessions. Open? Yes, but a few swings back to Geo was the play. He didn’t even get a heat check shot in that stretch. Frustrating.

Stop. They were wide open jumpers for a guy who has been shooting great from three. You people are incapable of looking past the results of even a single shot, it’s amazing.

I said he was open. But they were early in the possession. And the irony is that you’re talking about stats rather than game flow. That’s amazing to me.

If Ron Harper is open, barring an end of game run the clock out situation, he should shoot. Full stop. Anything else is stupid.

At least for the first one there was nobody within 10 feet of him. Right choice regardless of shot clock with that much time left

No expert here but it looks like we had a hard time getting inside versus the zone

That’s what happens when you shoot early in the possession and don’t pass the ball working the zone. Settles was spot on — when we could get the ball to high post we got much better shots.

Yup. If we COULD get it to Paul in the high post we can slice and dice but they did a good job of crowding the foul line and take away that pass

It really is

 

[SleepingGiantIsAwake]

Not blaming him for taking the shots, at all, especially since he was open and didn’t hesitate. (drives me nuts when Baker or Harper hesitate when wide open). But I do agree with you it was a huge point in the game. Gotta hit at least one of those.

He’s literally leading the Big Ten in 3pt shooting.

Of anyone on the team, he should have a green light to shoot it early and often.

agreed take the ball to the hoop we just settled for 3 pointers and then when we did get it in we gave it to Cliff which at this point if its not a dunk its a turnover

You have to think we're going to be seeing a ton of zone the rest of the season.

Going 5 minutes and 30 seconds without scoring a point down the stretch was the killer.

Harper needs to make those shots period...completely open

Yes, that bastard, can't even hit 100% of open threes. Complete scrub. If only had the mental toughness to will them in.
