Free throws

Well we had 3 points in the game if we made our free throws it’s a 1 or tied game oh well

Gavin needs to be better from line.

This game had nothing to do with missed FTs. You have 5 individuals on the floor offensively vs a team. Sometimes you have 2 or 3 players working together on offense, very rarely do we have 5 players working together on offense for very long. There is no leader on this team to make sure everyone is taking the shot they are supposed to and just jacking up the first shot with the smallest window of space.

That drive by Gavin to JMike to Noah for an open 3 was one of the few nicely executed plays on offense. Wish that happened more instead of dribble dribble juke miss by Hyatt, Mag and a few others all game long.

Purdue won the game from the free throw line with Edey and Smith taking most of the shots.Rutgers half court offense is sub par because of the dependence on play ground offense without players that can create and make shots off the dribble.This was a winnable game because Purdue only scored 68 points but Rutgers struggled to score 60 points.There is no question that additional replacement players from the transfer portal will be needed to complement the freshmen class for next season.The absence of scoring threats at most positions must be corrected .

Agree coming into the season I didn’t expect Gavin to miss this many FTs in a 4 year career.

We were 8-13 from the FT line even if we hit 80% (best % in NCAA is 81%) that’s 10 - an extra 2 points isn’t winning that game.

There is no excuse for Gavin to not be a good free throw shooter.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Our defense was good enough to win this game. Our offense is probably one of the worst in the country.

He rushes them just a bit.

He rushes them just a bit.

He needs to not rush, focus and develop a consistent routine.
