Guys are open - they miss easy shots. Jack can't score and takes bad shots (broken record). They miss foul shots and layups.

How in the world can he get a DNP in the 2nd half!!!!! I was and still am so angry.Originally posted by Scarlet Shack:

#5 the last two games showed me a lot
It's going to be a much different lockerroom next year
they coasted for 30 minutes and would have been down 30 if maryland wasn't ice cold.....fools gold staying in a game when your opponent is WIDE OPEN and clanking shot after shot.Originally posted by bac2therac:
Eddie had them competing and the team played hard and tough tonight. That's all I wanted to see this year. Not about wins...however too many games this year the team stopped competing or the coaching staff did a terrible job with gameprep and the game was over before they even hit the court.
Hopefully RU can give a spirited effort against a mediocre Michigan team, its winnable but I don't expect a win. Then perhaps pull off a 1st round win in the NCAA tourney. Nwestern is playing better but beatable and if its Nebby, they seem on a tailspin. RU can actually finish 13th if they beat Michigan and Penn State loses their last two.
I don't know why the OP is saying there is nothing Eddie can do. He could have given Etou, Jack, Daniels, Mack or Lewis a breather. They were on the floor most of the second half. They had no chance going against the fresh legs of Maryland.Originally posted by knights1212:
I mentioned this too. Williams played great in the first half and did not get in the second half until 55 seconds remained. Why? Foreman played 7 minutes in the first half and never got off the bench in the second half. Why? He was our best player in our last game vs. Perdue scoring 15 points. Etou, Jack, Daniels and Mack all should have sat for a few minutes in the second half. Why they didn't I will never know. Puzzling?
I think the team really thinks the shooting is supposed to be foul.Originally posted by shields:
Foul shooting has to improve.
If players are playing 5-6 minute shifts OR are in better shape our FT% magically goes higher.Originally posted by 1984:

In general, players with better offensive skills are better foul shooters than those who have limited offensive skills.Originally posted by Greene Rice FIG:

I'll bet we shoot 80%+ in practice.
The WAC, Summit league and Big Sky have the best FT% and SWAC and American have the worst.Originally posted by PatrickRU92:

Ergo, we don't shoot FTs well because.........

Find me a strong offensive team with a bunch of poor FT shooters and then you will have found an exception.Originally posted by Greene Rice FIG:

ACC and B12 are 25th and 26th out of 32.
3 point shooting is also very random.
Did you see they way Jack was bending his knees WAY down? He started that a few games ago IIRC. You're supposed to bend the knees a bit but no way you do you have any consitent shot with that approach. One clanks off the front rim, the next clanks off the back., the next is an air ball. He always seems to be experimenting with his shot. I give him credit for trying but I have no idea how he is so up and down.Originally posted by Greene Rice FIG:
there were only 57 possessions and there were open looks all over the place.Originally posted by RU-JMM78:
Maryland only scored 60 points so lets not blame the defense.The game was lost at the foul line and the inability to finish plays around the basket.The team showed effort but simply failed to execute on offense.Maryland double teamed Mack or put a bigger defender on him which limited his open shots.Rutgers has MAC level talent at best so losing by only 10 points to a high ranked opponent is a major achievement.
@Greene Rice- I dont mean to troll you BUT look at Wisconsin's minutes last night.Originally posted by Greene Rice FIG:
I don't know why Mack can't play 28 minutes. Before we went on the run he looked he played pick up basketball for 7 hours straight and was drained. His tank is on E! He was getting picked on and abused on the defensive end. It was so obvious he needed a blow. We were very fortunate trip after trip Maryland missed uncontested shots.
