I'm a bit simple minded, but it seems like a simple issue to me... Our coaching is fine. We get open looks and we play good defense for the most part. Every team every game is going to have some breakdowns. Subbing pattern is fine... What it boils down to is when Rutgers needed their go to guys, they got results. We didn't. Think about a couple of the late game buckets Mulcahy, McConnell, and even Hyatt made on the inside. They weren't going to be denied. And of course Harper with the dagger. He knew he was going to make that shot... confidence and mental toughness. And that's contagious. Also, one of our last possessions, we got two good shots, one by Race, and one by Trayce on the rebound. Neither had the confidence or tenacity they were going to score no matter what. And we're a bit hamstrung that our go to guys are post players rather than wings or guards (like Harper and Baker) because once you get it down there in the post, your options are limited. Stewart got open looks at the end too...he just doesn't have the late game confidence that the Rutgers kids had. I do tip my cap to him for making the shot that tied it, and even taking it showed a certain moxie. And I think Coach Woody calling his number again after he'd struggled shows how much he believes in these players... Sadly, in crunch time, they don't believe in themselves sometimes...

Having watched him play 5 or 6 times, I'm not sure his outside shot is good enough at this point to be a 2. He's got a good mid range game and dribble drive as well, but if he going to get big minutes, I'd say a Chucky Hepburn of Wisconsin type role would suit him best...at least starting out...

He's hit his last 4 and he's shooting 60% for a reason

Actually, I say get a 2 and foul Omoruyi again

XJ!

Boy, XJ OWNS one guy on this board 😁

This is the fun part!

Rutgers is very tough in these situations... But it's time for us to outfight somebody for once

As I remember, Harpers father was slim... Was Nell Carter his mom?

We can't keep getting beat to the 50-50s

Love XJ!

Fighting back... Mulcahy should have stuck to saving souls in Korea...

5 turnovers in 5 minutes...

I think Davison is Bo Ryan's godfather...

6.5 and I'm bettin' the push...

Durr's gotta lead the Big 10 in flat-footed blocks

Watch for Mulcahy posting up Rob...

Vote of confidence = Kiss of Death ☠️

I initially thought Baker would cover XJ, but McConnell might be a better option for them...He's a great defender...

Mulcahy has had a nice year, but at nut cuttin' time, it'll be Harper and particularly Baker that worry me...

The Reiber kid isn't terrible, especially on the offensive end...but he's a huge step down defensively...

Theaters sure have improved since I was a kid... recliners, beer, good food... Too bad 90% of the movies Hollywood turns out is crap any more...

Boy, you really want to f it up, don't you? 😉

I think it means if he had a scrapbook of his conquest, it'd make the Purdue yearbook look like a Glamour Shots catalog...

Yeah, I do understand what you were driving at. But a lot of it has a lot more to do with money than ethnicity I believe...
