Somebody needs to tell Cam that we're better off with him shooting 36% on 200 attempts than we are with him shooting 40% on 100 attempts.
GAME 10 Seton Hall: The Needle and the Very Fine Line
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
Really? Pretty damning for Mag and an argument that the ever improving Hyatt should be getting more minutes no?
In the 2nd half 34.5% of possessions ended in a turnover. That's a fun nugget.
Pretty obvious to anyone who watched the game. The question was why was it allowed to continue without an adjustment ?
That’s the issue!! Not the shooting!!
Mostly unforced mental errors as opposed to forced by Seton Hall!
That’s OSU game coming back to haunt us.
10/11 on Free Throw Line. Basically 25% of our Offense. How does SHU get 7 more foul shots on the road at the RAC in a rock fight?
Throw in a missed foot on line in end game?
Food for thought !!!!
Like telling a 12 year old pitcher to just throw strikes. Of course he is trying to throw strikes
They are partially connected. We get a turnover from a shot clock violation becuse with 3 seconds left Cam decided to pass up a mildly contested shot so that someone else had the hot potato when the clock expired
A shot attempt isn’t a turnover. In the 64% he missed there is a 30+ % chance we get an offensive rebound.
He takes a shot
36% we get 3 points
19% chance we get another chance (OREB)
45% chance possession ends
Or Cam getting the ball with almost no time on the clock and having to throw up a wild three from the corner?
True, the Hall needed to grind to get baskets, but they also hit some corner threes on wide open looks. Unlike RU last night, they were better at not letting the ball sit and moved it quickly around the floor until they got an open shooter.
I will agree that our team looked mentally exhausted. However, a big reason for the 43 shot attempts is the inexcusable 19 turnovers.
This group has not protected the ball on offense so far this year. That is the main focus for me moving forward.
Spencer could but right now unlikely to make the shot.I am very disappointed because Spencer was recruited to be a double digit scorer.
The problem is that Spencer can’t get the shot off on his own at this level. He needs to come off a screen and be set up and we don’t do that for whatever reason.
I think (don't know) that we try to do this but we don't handle ball pressure well enough to run anything well or get ball reversals that you need to make this happen.
We're getting the best catch-and-shoot guy in the class of 2023 next season and he's 6'7" so hopefully we improve on this a lot.
Seton hall schedule site had it
Paul 36:30 +3, 3:30 off -5 stands out

Offensive strategy was so obvious even Seton Hall could figure it out. lol
Paul was to take it up-court and get it to Cliff, who would then dominate the paint and make a basket, preferably by dunk.
So Paul would control the ball for 23 or 24 seconds. If he found an opening, he would execute the plan. Since the Hall was obviously privy to the strategy, they were more than prepared. Occasionally Paul would try to get it into the post anyway resulting in a turnover.
Usually he would realize with about 6 or 7 seconds left on the shot clock that he was not going to be able to feed the post. Often he was also in terrible position to do anything creative.
So he would pass it to whomever he could find open, leaving that unfortunate player with just a few seconds to try to do something creative with the ball. That instant creativity most of the time led to yet another turnover.
Rushing everything with just a few seconds left on the shot clock is unlikely to lead to a decent shot, so we were treated to a grand total of 17 points during the entire second half.
Kudos to the SH coach for a great defensive effort, but I have no idea why RU persisted for the entire half in trying the same disastrous game plan.

Paul had 7 assists to go with his 3 TOs, so it is not fair to call him a TO machine v SHU (that is a good A/TO ration for your PG. Caleb, on the other hand had 5 TOs and no assists so the label fits.
