Why can't Rutgers become "3pt - Space and Pace U"? Run a dreaded "NBA style Offense".
Start putting up 30 3FGA per game and try to disrupt everything.
"Can you shoot a 3? Come to Rutgers and just put up 3s all game."

We were 3rd in Big Ten with 59.4 FGA per game (which is great!) but only 12th with 19.7 3FGA per game (not so good).
We shot 39.7 2FGA per game.

Doesn't look like there are many major college teams really committing to this route.
Seems like there is still some inefficiency that could be exploited.

First, find some players that can shoot. It works for Golden State because they have 3 of the best 3 point shooters to ever play the game. It works for Houston because they have James Harden. Most NBA teams have at least 2 good 3 point shooters. RU struggles to find 2 decent shooters to put on the floor at one time.

Purdue has no one to blame but themse...poor defense and poor free throw shooting

How does Edwards miss in a spot like that

Unless they can come up with something new to clog the paint i dont see how Purdue can stop the Vols

Painter ain't the brighest bulb out there

We shall see

Which is why he’s the ONLY active coach in the B1G to win COY four times.... At the age of 48. Great judge of coaching , huh?

Like someone said earlier, I'm talking about team pbilosophy and theory, not actual game planning with the current roster.

Like the football team, we're never going to have the most talented roster in the Big Ten so try and shake up the game and any advantages we can.

Was thinking this too. Loses 4 starters, wins B1G regular season title, makes the elite 8, wins COY, our posters call him stupid.

The Purdue-Virginia was just as good. That and the one with Tennessee were both so amazing. When on Edwards and Cline can really shoot from anywhere.
