Harper shooting a 3 is the wrong play...why

 

[Caliknight]

If we were even decent shooters we won this game.

Please tell me recruits coming can shoot.

 

[CHR2022]

When is the Harper that can shoot 3s coming?

 

[biazza38]

Hit a big shot. Someone! Just once

 

[PatrickRU92]

good effort. They have the best player on the court sadly and the 3 point shooting differential will continue to kill us.

 

[bac2therac]

Refs taking over

the refs are not taking over, RU isnt hitting the shots they need to make it a game

 

[Shell21]

Harper makes shot is way too flat abs way to low a release

 

[mikemarc1]

Love the fight.

Again, talent level just completely different.

 

[bac2therac]

SHU 20-49 11-27

RU 22-74 5-26

 

[B0ski]

30% from the floor. 20% from 3. Amazing they kept it close.

 

[bac2therac]

Love the fight.

Again, talent level just completely different.

they are not THAT much more talented. Powell yes but everyone else basically evens out, the game was winnable if the team didnt take 5-10 minutes off in this game

 

[ScarletDave]

Went from down 17 to down 3 in the same half, I was wrong the fight is there. But Powell’s 3 right after was the dagger

 

[Degaz-RU]

Like I said, once we went down by 15, the game was over. Not enough offense to come back from that, even though we made it interesting for a while.

 

[rucoe89]

Mathis, Johnson, Harper, McConnell give some reason for hope with Omeruyi, Baker and Kiss. Pikiell needs to add a shooter next year. Its like QB for football. Unless you have one you will lose.

 

[koleszar]

Just can't make the big play when needed and instead lose composure.

 

[ScarletDave]

Also their center who was 18% from 3 of course makes 3/4 and then hits his last 6 free throws

 

[tfio]

Man, if we could only make those one footers

 

[PatrickRU92]

Harper took too many shots today. Hopefully they start falling. Team should keep getting better as they get more experience.

Who do you want to shoot?

 

[bac2therac]

Man, if we could only make those one footers

its a huge reason why we lost..so many missed opportunities

 

[RUsince52]

How many shots can Harper miss and badly. A miss is a miss, but not being online is mind boggling.

 

[ddsmugs]

Who taught Harper how to shoot his Grandma? Very ugly shot all season . Pedigree not showing up yet.

Mulcahy.

 

[B0ski]

Mathis played solid D.

 

[Rutgers25]

We have enough of a sample size to say that talk of Harper being shooter is vastly overblown.

 

[RUChoppin]

Who do you want to shoot?

Some shots from Thiam would be nice.

 

[RU MAN]

We lost this game because we couldn't consistently shoot the ball. Period.

 

[mikemarc1]

I think talent level difference was evident.

Rutgers plays much harder. SHU plays much better. Just how I see things.

 

[bac2therac]

Harper was particularly out of sorts in this game...1-9...I just think he had a hard time adjusting to the level of play today..thats going to happens as freshmen, ..Montez on the other hand look comfortable

 

[RUsince52]

its a huge reason why we lost..so many missed opportunities

Plus, we don't draw a foul either.

 

[rucoe89]

Mulcahy.

He is not a shooter. He is a passer so that helps. But they still need someone that can be counted on to consistently shoot and score. Our version of Powell.

 

[G- RUnit]

Hit threes we win this game. Shame. Played hard. Thiam should be on the bench. Both runs without him. Did he score today. Nice game by Kiss.

 

[PatrickRU92]

well he's a freshman who is here to score points. We have to take misses now. Geo couldn't hit the side of the barn early in the year last year IIRC. We have to hope he develops.

 

[bac2therac]

Not enough shots from Kiss the last 6-7 minutes

 

[RUsince52]

Harder only means you don't lose by as much, again.

 

[RU82]

Harper must be something like O for his last 25 from 3.

 

[bossnj1]

Harper- good basketball sense, going to be a nice player, but needs to find his outside shot to become effective. Apologies, but he’s not athletic enough to add much value without the three.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Young.

 

[NickKnight 1]

If Harper made half his shots we will be ahead by 12 points.

 

[bac2therac]

Some shots from Thiam would be nice.

him MIA is huge to the struggles of this team

 

[Caliknight]

Mulcahy.

Can he shoot? Like for real?
