Really? I never really got a sense throughout the whole game that they we're a better team than us. It really felt like we were the better team through much of the game, despite several mental lapses.
It was very apparent early on that this was the fastest and most athletic team that we faced, as our defense was consistently a tick too slow to react. We just weren't prepared coming out of the locker room for this level of speed off the dribble coming off our last several games.
Haven’t looked but it felt like Cliff didn’t even get a touch in the last 10 minutes of the game.
you may need a timeout.....may have to put your chair in the corner and have you stare at the wall. May have to slap a K95 on you.
Better in the clutch I'll give you. Better overall, I just don't see it.
THAT is a big problem. There have been a few games now.. and TWO LOSSES.. that began without getting Cliff involved in the offense.. other than putting back missed shots.
We are a 14-17 team without Paul or Caleb
Torvik has us projected at 18-13 and there’s been a lot of missing Paul/Caleb. I think it’s safe to say that’s basically the OR projection.
there is some preseason stuff there. we were 19-12, whay happened? i guess taking .4 wins happened
There is preseason there, but we haven’t moved down from the preseason I don’t think so that wouldn’t be propping us up at all.
if you change the date to November 2 you get numbers without preseason bias. before today we were right about the same with and without. Ou D was much higher and our O was much worse
Our great D to start the year is partially a mirage I think. Not that it wasn’t good. But being #1 in 3p% defense is not a recipe for sustainability
I don’t disagree, but in Paul’s defense it’s hard to hold back on something that’s instinctive. As a leader I also think he feels compelled to set an example for the new guys. Just an unfortunate injury, for him and for the team, and for our early season results.
I've said multiple times that Paul can play out of control and have been shouted down about it. I've mostly harped on his first 2 seasons where he would do that back to the basket/shoulder check move to create space for a shot or movement. He's gotten better at not doing that as much and getting called for it. The floor diving in what's essentially a pre-season game is another example.
Totally absurd comment!
Its a recruiting problem when Paul is the only true point guard on the team.Its a recruiting problem when the bench scores only six points.Its a recruiting problem when there is no go to scorer at crunch time.
What happened to o today's bball where 5 guys play 5 positions?
In retrospect, was it a good idea for Paul to make that dive for the ball in a early season game? He's not playing 90 percent if he's not throwing his body on the floor during what's essentially is a scrimage.
You can’t play that way. Especially Rutgers. The question maybe to ask is why was he playing against Columbia
