Everyone did something...even Hyatt...which seems rare...although the turnover was BAD. Geo did NOT disappear, which he can sometimes do. Caleb was crazy good...so disruptive...Cliff whole second half...Ron....ice, man, leader, he man three man. All round team. Paul...hmmm...a problem.
No One Disappeared Last Night
- Thread starter ImBadRU
- Start date
Paul disappeared for the 3rd game in a row, which is alarming because if we are going to beat good teams we need new Paul, not old Paul.
Eh, I would argue Paul was just finally finding his shot in the second half, made some big buckets and also had some nice dishes to Cliff in the paint. He wasn’t there in the first half but he didn’t “disappear” he was just starting to show up before the flagrant
I wouldn't say he disappeared, but he's not playing under as much control as he should be. He's letting his intensity get the better of him at times by unnecessary fouls and carelessness. He needs to show more maturity, stop arguing every supposed foul, and keep a level head.
Eh disappeared I guess but a couple guys had bad nights. Paul Geo and I guess reiber too in a way.
But that’s the beauty of having a guy like Ron and the opportunity to take the ball away from his teammates when needed and a I guy like cliff who’s the best athlete on the court.

He can’t get away with this anymore. Teams are collapsing on him as they might with a dominant big man in the low post. He needs to make quicker decisions- either getting a shot off or finding the open man whose defender has doubled him.
The threat of new Paul is still a big factor, whether he is 100% successful or not. In that sense the old Paul no longer exists.
The first half most of the players had poor performances.The second half there was marked improvement but it took to the last minutes when Rutgers finally took the lead and it still required Harper to make the last shot to win the game.
Paul started to do better once he got a bucket and had that amazing effort dive to knock the ball off Indiana late in the game
100% needs to make quicker decisions. When he just goes and attacks downhill he was getting Cliff dunks or layups or getting deep position to pivot. Now he is dribbling watching and waiting to see how the defense reacts. Just attack and go and make the D adjust to you
