It is hard to be consistent in this game, especially when teams throw different tactics at you. Only the true great players are. Last game, Paul carried the team to a win at MSG with 17 second half points. Tonight he was ineffective and took only 4 shots. But, I agree with those who said that Caleb was the bigger problem tonight. Caleb is a 20% three point shooter (Paul is 41% by comparison). Caleb cannot be hoisting up 3’s and taking highly contested 2s. His 1-12 shooting was a killer tonight.

Some blame has to be shared by Pike.there was very little dribble drive to basket and RU didn't get to the line hardly at all because of it.
Also it's on Pike to maybe not have McConnell continue shooting the ball down the stretch? He was beyond bad , yet was allowed to shot 25 foot shots with game on the line?

Paul passed up and often does many open shots if he would just catch and shoot!!! Like many have said I would rather him shooting than Caleb; the other problem is when he hesitates if he does eventually shoot it is a much harder shot than if he just took the open shot he had immediately
