Poor shot selection and finishing

Really thought Ace and Derkack were extremely poor in their shot selection and finishing. A lot of the shots they took were forced and not within the rhythm of the offense.

Ace and Derkack shot for a combined 2-of-12 from within the arc (close to mid-range). Ace was 0-of-4 from mid-range. Derkack was 0-of-5 on layups. Ace was actually better from beyond the arc at 4-of-9 than shooting 2 pointers. Derkack is one of the team's worst 3 PT shooters, so I'm not sure why he was even allowed to take a 3 pointer.

Both really hurt the team badly on the offensive end yesterday.

I will say with Dylan still not 100% it really showed. Dylan went 0-of-3 from deep and went 2-6 from close range. I know he's a warrior and tried to fight as much as he could. Hopefully the young man gets back to 100% soon.

Rutgers needs to focus on making it to the Big Ten Tournament HOWEVER right now, I don't think this team wins more than 4 Big Ten league games this year and and will miss the Big Ten Tournament.

With no real offense, we are stuck with watching the players take turns in trying to get a shot.

I'm pissed that Dylan was at the Indiana game and played against Wisconsin. How the hell did the staff let that happen? He was a corpse against Wisconsin. How could anyone think he could have played against Indiana? Staff and player both deserve blame on this screw up. What was he last night, 50-70%?

Is he going to be 100% for UCLA? While I firmly believe the season is over, going on a little 3-4 game win streak would give the optimistic fans a glimmer of hope. Need Dylan at 100%.

NCAAT is a pipedream, need to focus on winning enough games to make the B1G Tournament

Truly an embarrassment

Dylan not even 50%
Dercack should not see the court again like Martini Grant should get all his minutes
