Yeah, smart guys, keep telling me we don’t have a problem with layups. UNREAL.it’s stunning how many “GIMMIES” we miss.
Layups

I just don’t understand the inability to make layups. It’s unreal. Hyatt, Mag especially.
Because they lost a game? Eff off
Spot on Nuts. I think we missed 10 tonight. And they are legit bunnies
I just don't get it
I just don't get it
Mag & Hyatt seem to be the biggest offenders of missing the bunnies .
Todays loss was a KILLLER. Had a golden opportunity to take a solid résumé building win. On the road against a very likely tournament team
Cam going 1-11 frim the field.
Missing layups. Can anyone count how many we missed tonight ?!
Hyatt and mag playing really sloppy on offense too often.

How do posters like this still exist?
Until he hits his shots, then he's King Cam. This board is nuts.
Against temple not a great showing until garbage time and tonight a mess. The rest was a glorified scrimmage
It really is these 2...and the ones they miss....are mind-boggling. Typically directly under the basket with nobody on them.
Temple was without Paul and Caleb. Last night without Paul. If we have both, for each game, we're undefeated. Stop it.
Every team in college basketball outside the top 10 misses a ton. It's why it's college basketball.
Objectively watch a random B10 game and you will see a ton of misses by the basket.
It's a problem for just about everyone. We're no difference.
I watch plenty. This simply isn’t true. I get that contested layups aremissed sometimes, no doubt, but we have a major problem missing UNCONTESTED ones.
Rutgers was 8th in FG% in the Big Ten last season 826/1856 44.5% in 32 games
If you think we should have made 2 more "layups" a game, that would put us at 890/ 1856 47.95%
That would have put us #2 in the Big Ten behind Purdue, a top 5 team much of the season and a top 10 team all season

That's my point @AreYouNUTS
Rutgers misses a ton of layups. We should make more. But every team misses a ton. We were average in lesgue in fg%.
I woule be happy if Rutgers scored at least 70 points a game against power conference teams.
Someone had the stats last week, pretty sure I included it in the other thread, our LAYUP % is pathetic (NOT “shooting %” or “2-point shooting %.”
Hyatt is good for three just stupid turnovers a game where he just flat out loses the ball
I posted those numbers to get at context and expectations, I used last year because this year's games so far are not very predictive.
If you think we should consistently make 2 more layups a game than we did last year or score 70 points a game (we gave up 66.5 on avg last year) then you're expecting us to be among the best teams in the country.
All I'll say to that is... I love watching these guys play.

I’m not as interested in the argument as much as the why? It has been a trend for a few years now. Is it correctable? We’re a team that is rooted in defensive intensity and we play with our hair on fire a little too much sometimes. I notice this when we’re not doing well at the FT line - we rush everything. Maybe this is the same issue.
Good post Pete!
One thing I notice yesterday: Caleb looked more comfortable than I recall shooting from the field as well as the line. Like he’s not overthinking.
I think we’ll be okay provided Paul can get healthy at some point, hopefully sooner rather than later. Last night was frustrating but I still saw some encouraging things.
I am not an overly critical guy about individual plays or players....BUT, that Hyatt layup at the end of the game was the worst attempt I have ever seen. He did some kind of of twist motion with his wrist as he released the ball. It was not even close.
