We won, but Mulcahy needs to get his head right. He nearly cost us the game, and is constantly letting his anger impact his play lately.
Mulcahy

Would not be surprised to see a suspension for the PSU game. He’s becoming too much of a head case.
Too much flopping and acting. Needs to go back to basics. Make him chase a chicken around the court or something
I hate when he constantly backs down bigger defenders and just shoulders himself in the guy's chest. He should get called for that all the time.
He really got lucky today.
He really got lucky today.
He looks clueless at times, he is struggling to much and needs to sit.
The refs are getting tired of his complaining and it’s going to work against him for a while until he stops the baby act.
I'll be killed for saying this, but...I have never cared for his game. He is a head case. I hope they do suspend him, and he better be kissing all his teammates ***. End of rant.
No need to embellish. Paul’s a fiery competitor and a bit of a hot head in the heat of the moment. It’s okay. But he’s got to learn not to let it force him into making mental mistakes.
Kid is full of emotion. Stupid overreaction tonight, but kid gives it his all.
Then give it less. He’s been horrible to watch the past 4 games
He rarely backs down bigger defenders- only does that on smaller guys. And he’s good at it. Not sure if we’re watching the same games.
Paul lost his cool getting pushed out of bounds.
I want Mulcahy with an edge vs the passive Paul. Granted I don't want him throwing more blows, but I think it was just a reaction getting pushed back and off balance. I think Pike will use this to get Paul focused the right way. Be aggressive but be SMART.

I hope it's a moment that wakes him up. He's lucky the team bailed him out. Hyatt, RHJ, cliff came up huge at the end
We would have never gone on that 4-0 run without his play.

Can't take the bait against smaller punk kid. Plus Paul has a habit of touching the refs arms way too much in a condescending way.
Really is starting to look unhinged. Either that or he’s not very bright.
He was the best player in the Big Ten for 2 weeks and was the main reason Rutgers won 4 games in a row.
In the last 2 weeks his play is very sloppy and out of control. He needs to get his head straight.

That's what he's about and where he comes from. Give him a break -- he's all RU
This shouldn’t matter, but in light of the Michigan/Wisconsin incident, I would not be at all surprised to see a suspension. I hope I’m wrong.
I posted last game about his body language and head game…. He better get it together
This. Would have been a crime if they lost this game. If the other guy got a real shot/push off he woulda got a big hurt on. Lucky he was in front of his own bench.
Paul was very erratic but it was a hard fought, scrappy and tough game....I'm more concerned about his turning it over but these are huge growing pains for a player Pike and RU has invested a LOT of playing time over the last 3 seasons.
We will need everyone on Sunday and he gets a chance to redeem himself the rest of the way. Chill out on him for now, Hyatt and RHJ bailed us out.

Paul was bad all game except for a 2 minute stretch. Pikiell needs to tell him to play and stop trying to be the new brad davidson. Just play. No more flopping.
Hope he can play against PSU

Not sure what you’re getting at. I’m not saying he needs to be suspended, I’m saying he needs to stop acting like a damn fool for weeks at a time and get back to playing selfless basketball
Rutgers fans need to relax and hope Mulcahy isn't suspended .He will be needed against Penn State.
If it wasn’t for his play the previous 4 before that…we’d be talking about our Wednesday first round B10 tourney game and prayer of making NIT.
But agree with most level headed posters here that he needs to control his emotions…even though Johnson checked him with his shoulder
I personally like it, it’s good to have a firecracker on the team.
You take the good with the bad. It almost hurt us today, but there are moments where him getting under an opponents skin works out for us too.
Opposing fan bases hate him, so I’m all about it

Mulcahy right now is like happy Gilmore when he first joins the pro tour
thinks he's better than he really is and the whining and flopping justify the calls against him.
Lunchpail Paul is a winning player. Hollywood Paul hurts the team.

I don’t really care about the prior 4 right now and that’s not an excuse for his behavior tonight.
He almost cost the team. I care about the team, not Paul’s ego getting hurt by a hard foul.
You right, but the last 4 games he has reverted back to terrible old Paul. Teams have seen the film and made adjustments, he needs to do the same.
