Sha Sounds Off: Rutgers
On how Seton Hall played: “I thought we played hard and well for 33 minutes. For seven minutes, we kind of lost our mind, but I thought it w...

I don't think Harpers shot was a difficult one for him(he's a sure fire pro).He was wide open.What the hell was Dual doing not even close to him and why didn't Sha call a time out beforehand to set up the defense.
Didn't Rutgers call a timeout after the foul shots? It was just a bad defensive play, he got turned around instead of keeping Harper in front. Jenkins was also covering a guy who was barely at half court. Bad teams know how to lose.
Hes a 33% 3 point shooter. People are acting like he’s shooting 45% from 3 on the year. He shot much better today than he has all year from 3. His momentum was going towards the corner and not the basket from just in front of Jersey Mikes logo. I’d say it wasn’t an easy shot for him. He did a great job of squaring up. He made this after missing 2 free throws in the final minute
He shot better today because most of his 3's were wide open today. And that last shot wasn't easy but made easier because he was able to go down the court with ease. Not a knock on Harper, as when I saw him in that Las Vegas showcase he showed he should be a top 3 pick in next year's draft. Just he was able to set himself up for the shot the way he wanted to.
Just don't know why Dual was on him. Felt like Coleman or Dylan would have been a better choice to guard him.
Why didn't we deny him the ball? Why didn't we double team him? We needed to make someone else beat us. Even the parking lot attendants knew Harper was going to take the last shot.
I’ll admit after they called the foul that sent Coleman to the line, I just felt in the final 6 seconds we would have a foul called against us. Maybe that was just me, but if Dual was tight on him and Harper was savvy enough to create contact I was expecting it to be called.
Should have not let Harper catch the ball and run a double at him.
Absolutely. Forget if we had anyone on the baseline. Should not have. Harper should not have been able to catch the ball. Or at least make things more difficult and have someone else beat you.
Dual didn't look like he knew what the hell to do.Was halfway out to the center court.Harper had a clear view of the basket.
Our team didn’t know what to do the last 10 minutes of the game. Again that’s on sha
it was just bad defense by dual. really freaking bad. its clear sha didn't want the refs having any reason to call a foul. but dual was turned backwards almost immediately. he didnt even know where harper was. it was pathetic.
also, harper simply hit the long shot. its why he's a top recruit.

I watched the replay. Harper gave a head fake as though he was moving toward mid court. Dual bit on the fake. I wish he didn't (and I'll bet he wishes also) but it happened and Harper made the shot. Good for Harper and bad for us.
I'm a believer in always guarding the inbounder. Many coaches do not share that philosophy. Willard, for example, never guarded the inbounder on end of game plays. I guess Sha doesn't either.
In retrospect, sure we should have run a double team at Harper but that's because we didn't like the outcome. I wouldn't feel any better if he passed the ball to Bailey and he hit a 10 footer.
