plus ….if you look at the game stats

I count two games we won by hitting 40% from three that was the difference in the game
At Nebraska
At northestersn

And I count these games when we took a lot of three, three that were mostly open ….and didn’t bot them thsr had we had a 37% shooting game …we probably win

Alabama
Texas A&M
Michigan state
Michigan
At Maryland

But more telling …is that we only had a couple of games where we shot it at 40% or above

We have guys just missing wide open shots at too high a rste

Sure …can the sets be a LITTLE better to compensate (I argue that decision making in the existing set fixes that more)

But , at the end of the day …it’s who we have the court is the bigger offensive issue

Can only make chicken salad out of chicken …not going to end up with filet mignon…..

It’s funny how people get triggered by weather posts.

Teams attack the O boards against us, with great success.
Our players head back to the D end when we put up a shot.

@Knight Shift !!!!!

LFG!!!!
How do you not rehire the "Instant impact" "greatest OC in Rutgers history"???????

Have to act fast.
The lowest scoring OC in the entire 2018 CFB season isn't going to be available for long (13.5ppg #130 out of 130).

Let's hope the problem was HC and not OC back then.

Seeing those names is what irritates me the most about Pike’s portal misses. He’s been to the tournament. He’s seen what type of players you need to get there. He’s seen the type of competition you get in the second round. And yet, he did what he did last offseason. I hate to be negative, but it’s a real head scratcher.

Fans were tired of seeing rock fights. Most wanted a high scoring offense.

I'm not making forecasts and I'm not posting and hyping all the crazy snowfall maps - that would be irresponsible.

1. Yes you're making forecasts. You made one Friday night Saturday AM that you would get 1.4 in vs the NWS 1.1inch

2. You have a map on your very first post!

3. Why are you dumfounded at all? This happens all the time!

4. Dan Zarrow is no longer a reliable forecaster.

Other than a brief mention of "possible" snow Thursday there has never been a mention of "significant" snow on the Philadelphia stations about Thursday.
I know you love snow. We all know!!!! You need patience. This initial hype was too good to be true!

Dylan's brother. Not close

Love the it’s too early crowd posting here.

Your shot selection is a product of the offensive system you run. It’s not much more complicated than that. We dont run an offensive system that designs clean high efficiency shots.

Click to expand...

Really?

How do you design offensive sets when you have 2 or 3 way below 30% three point shooters on the floor for most of 40 minutes a night, and they command no legit respect …so opponents sag waaay off them , are in better position to play help defense , better position to deny entry passsee or clog passing lanes , and better position to hedge and help on top ball screens (a huge part of the sets we run)

You can hide one in the corenr …or the opposite wing …but when you have multiple sub-pat outside shooters …it’s a real problem

This is why we have these guys chucking them up anyways. You HAVE to take them …even if they are going in at 27% instead of 37%….othwrwise the offense stagnated even more.

But that’s 10 shots a game …and you are giving up 3 points per game (a little less, as you will get more OREB attempts and get a few OREB)…but over 35 games …those 80-100 points you didn’t get from shooting from those spots…Will cost you 3-5 games along the way

I’ll also say that the opposite is true
As well. The limited guys who can shoot over the years That can’t sdore any other way (PJ hayes and martini on this year) ….they don’t shoot the percentage they should because they also are guarded tighter because they are zero threat to post , and zero threat to put the ball on the floor and drive

We are really really easy to defend with these roster limitations …no matter what pike draws up

We have had more our open shots this year than this year than recent years …more becaue ace and Dylan command double team attention.

But we have had several games …that we simple loss due to poor shooting . Missing open shots

And not many where we won “outshooting trams”

I do beleive this is on pike and staff …not becsuse the offensice coaching issues…but in the recruting evaluation and lack of recruting ….

3 classes
Jaden jones /jalen miler
Derek Simpson /antonio chol/antoine wolfolk
Gavin Griffths/Jmike

We have Jmike from three classes

And from the portal to make up for this …not close to enough
Spenser
Fernandes/Awill/Jwill/ogoble
Martini/hayes/acuff/derkack

Apparently not as fans in Canada booed the US anthem at the hockey game. I did not introduce the political angle here. So why don't you "Go back to little your maga love message board and worship Putin over there". Makes no sense, right? To say that to you.. or me.

It’s the entire group

Geo
Myles
Montez
Jacob
Ron
Caleb
Paul
Cliff
Akwasi
Shaq Carter

They were ballers …lost a possession, tbat the last one we were gojng to lose . Go get it badk and give it to them some more

Somewhere ..that mentality got lost . The best complete roster turnover two years in a row has a lot to do with that and it’s a rebuild of the culture from scratch ….

A couple years ago we did the same. Moved our flight up a day early due to a potential snowstorm and it was a blessing. Got out just in time and next day all the flights were a mess. Flying out Saturday from Philly so hopefully whatever we get is cleared up by then

Flying down to New Orleans for a friend's 40th. We were supposed to fly 12:30 Thursday but with all this nonsense we switched to 9:30 Wednesday night. Cost me $45 total for two of us and we upgraded to first class

Any stories ?

Two in particular
Met Omar Minayia (former Mets GM) near the Plaza Hotel in NYC), super nice guy - as a big Mets fan he's highly recognizable but he said he rarely gets noticed out in public which was surprising

VT D-Coordinator in the airport refused to take picture w/my VT buddy and I b/c I had FSU hoodie on. Legit made an arrogant comment about it. GT had lit them up w.like 60 points the night before in Blacksburg and I let him know after that performance, we'd (FSU) consider him for a junior analyst position if he turned his attitude around. Didn't go over well

Also saw Sheamus from WWE last month but it was early and it was clear he wasn't looking for conversation, he's a pretty big guy so I left it alone lol

He was the best player on the court when we played MD. Wasn’t even close.

Makes sense. That’s why they want FSD so they don’t have to drive.
