My issue was everyone else was a mile away from Paul at the start of the inbound. Should have had at least 3 guys in backcourt for Paul but everyone had to run back towards our baseline taking time off the 5 second limit.
Another stinker for Paul

- Start date
We need his best to be an elite team.It all comes together when paul plays within himself and with confidence
Stinker is when OP posts GS definitely not coming back. Lol.
Some of our fans are real stinkers

OP is nuts. Paul did his share and then some to get this win. OP needs to learn the game.
We have several Rutgers fans who for whatever reason will bash PM at the slightest underwhelming game . Why not ask his coaches and teammates how they view his overall play and contributions …good and bad. Be careful when you believe some of the negativity on this board regarding players. At many schools fans who most likely never played beyond perhaps grade school act like authorities on what they perceive in how the players perform. Mulcahy knows better than all of us when he doesn’t meet his or the teams expectations.
It’s called looking beyond the box score. Watch the game with your eyes and if you know the game, your eyes tell you if they played well or not. Paul does so many things that go beyond box
If you watched PSU warm up they ran the plays for corner three's over and over and over again. I give them credit for practicing plays in the warmups vs. everyone just making layups and free shooting. Guys moving and passing and moving and passing till the get the corner shot.
I am a huge PM fan and am usually one to defend him. But yesterday he was awful. He dribbled into a double or triple team at least three times. He's holding the ball way too long and dribbling to nowhere. The whole offensive flow breaks down each time he does this. I'm not talking about backing down a defender from the corner or elbow, which is fine. I'm talking about taking the ball at the top of the key and then dribbling in circles as defenders close in on him and eventually surround him, leaving him nowhere to go with the ball. The worst thing that happened for Paul was when he got away with it once in the 2nd half and scored. After that, it was like he had the green light. He needs to keep the ball moving.
Maybe time for you to go, go, go. Paul’s game yesterday was not nearly his best, but far from a “stinker.”
I completely agree with this Mike but overall I can't say he was awful. These movements certainly were but there was a lot of other things he did well.
he wasn't bad at all, just a couple mistakes here and there, but you can easily point out that Harper had a lot more mistakes this game. Yes Paul had those moments where he would try to force his way into doubles. The main thing that Paul did that was different versus some of the past games was that instead of just trying to jam in there and force a shot and hope for a foul call, he was more patient and made some very good passes after pulling the defense in.

How many people started threads about Geo or Ron with this title? I was furious with PM on how he handled the end of the Indy game. Unacceptable. But this game is just nit picking. In his most important shot, he definitely got fouled and it wasn't called. He backs in all the time. If defenders converge, he passes the ball. He is one of the leading assist guys in the conference. Many seem not to understand this. He is a very good player and will be on the pre season all conference teams next year.
This kid takes too much flak from “ fans” I’ll leave it at that. Too many trolls on board who criticize whenever THIER expectations are not met. The game on Saturday was not a stinker by any means for PM.
