The play that summed up this game for me was when they got the ball to Cliff in the post in the 2nd half, but he was in poor position and really didn’t have a real opportunity to score, and everyone else was just standing around, so he forced up a bad shot and missed.

announcers noted pre-game Cliff is under 50% (48?) on layups.

when you don’t have a lot of athletic players, you’re going to struggle on layups against length and athleticism

The thing is, once he gets the ball down low, he NEVER passes it back out if there’s nothing there. Allows teams to collapse on him.

Actually, I believe 5-17, which is 29%. We usually shoot 72%. Talk about choke job.

Agree 100% and what about the shot from about 12 feet when he took some sort of hook shot

He was looking for someone to pass the ball to, and the rest of the team just stood around and didn't make an effort to get open.

Box said 5-16.... so we were better from the FT line than the layup line.

Honestly, though, some of those layup attempts were prayers.

Yeah, I was off by one. So, instead of a 72% FT shooting team shooting 29%, we actually shot 31%. Atrocious, just atrocious.

"Omoruyi is 48-of-100 on layups this season, per Synergy. That ranks dead-last among the 14 Big Ten players who attempted at least 100 layups, and by a significant margin; the closest player is Wisconsin’s Tyler Wahl, who is shooting 52.3% (67-of-128) on the year." https://www.nj.com/rutgersbasketbal...ncern-3-for-optimism-as-march-approaches.html

Strong defense and weak offense explains Rutgers this season.The weak offense is caused by the roster lacking players that have shooting skills .There also are far too many unforced turnovers caused by poor player decision making in passing the ball.Rutgers lacks a point guard that can score and pass to open players for 3 point shots.

This one baffled me. What happened to his mid range jumper from earlier this year. Shooting face up to the basket at least has a prayer of going in
