Kind of a rough response. I do not hope they suspend him, but Scarlette's position is reasonable. Sometimes toughlove is needed.
Not sure who the "they" is - the B1G, or RU?
Mulcahy

- Start date

2 teams fighting for tourney lives…should be non suspension issue
Refs should have called something on the instigator from Indiana as well.
Refs handled that poorly... the instigator got off scot-free.. he was basically trying to knock Mulcahy off his feet.
Yeah, Mulcahy reacted poorly with the gorilla arm swing as if he was not in control because he was knocked off-balance. That read like premeditation to me.. like he had to think about a way to get away with it... I do not think it was a level-2 infraction.. there is too much emphasis on hands to head.. no way that player was harmed and he acted like he got knocked out.. it was a slap, and a weak one... not a punch.
Don't start Mulcahy vs PSU and make that his penalty.
Also.. teammates shave his head... buzzcut is enough.

You can worry about this while the rest of us enjoy the victory party.
But you’re ignoring the fact that the last 4 wouldn’t matter for the team without the previous 4 from that
Rough game for Paul and he totally lost his cool. But he got fouled twice, the second intentionally before he retaliated on that last play. Not easy to keep your cool under those circumstances, but I know he has to. I couldn’t.
When Paul is playing poorly, he does it a bunch. I never actually looked at the size of the players but he's doing it against post players so I'm pretty sure it's a size mismatch for him. When he's in the flow and dishing the ball, he's fantastic.
I’m not ignoring anything. He’s a part of the team and was very helpful to the team in those games.
His whining for the past week and throwing a punch/getting ejected tonight were detrimental to the team, and the latter is the subject of this thread.
You do not need to defend him after that pathetic display. He’s not bigger than the team, regardless of his contributions to date.
Almost, but didn't. Maybe his teammates had his back and found a way to win. Great game & better ending.
Nobody should be more relieved that they pulled that game out than Paul. Can you imagine the tone of the comments toward him if we had lost? He needs to find a better balance out there with regard to playing with intensity and controlling his emotions.
He did not throw a punch. He did swing his arm as he was getting mugged.
Unfortunately he made contact. But to think this was equal to Juan Howard or Diabate is ridiculous.
Lol, yes, let’s just excuse it like we have been since the Michigan game. It’s working well
The guys at Michigan and Wisconsin were throwing multiple haymakers after a game was over and they got 1 game. Will be total b.s. if he gets suspended. He already got tossed in a game when it was on the line. That’s enough of a punishment. And we NEED Him. Penn State kicked our asses.
I would think, IF he's suspended, Hyatt would start and Geo moves to point guard with Caleb at the two
He got exactly what he deserved. A suspension would be ridiculous.
The game thread on the Indiana board showed they thought both should’ve been hit with a flagrant before the call was made. I agree. Common foul and then a flagrant one against their guy followed by a flagrant two against Mulcahy.
I guess if he gets suspended then all’s well that ends well is premature maybe. But the kid has got to be really mortified.
this...he can be on my team any day of the week
Big W tonight.Kid from Indiana fouled and pushed him.Paul reacted. Dumb play.Kid leads the BIG in assists he not a selfish player and he’s a competitor. Have to say by the tone of some of you guys for a minute I thought I was on the Indiana board by mistake!
C'mon.. this is just a way for Paul-haters to come out of the woodwork again..
..earlier this season...
My only issue is the flopping. Stop trying to sell a call so hard you stop playing defense.
Rutgers fans….we eat our own…great foxhole mates
McEnroe? You cannot be serious!
That would have been more fair than what happened. Clearly, the ref who was right there saw who instigated it and got in-between the players. He should have called something on the Indiana guy.. a dead ball foul at a minimum.
KUDOS TO OUR BENCH for merely protecting Paul and not taking swings at the Indiana player... who STILL DESERVES SOME PUNISHMENT. That wasn't basketball.. what he did there... and he did instigate it. He threw a forearm and shoulder while Paul slapped him.
Cliff was big too. Clutch FT’s, a big block and lots of rebounds.
