Maybe this can help Paul relax a little

 

[RUScrew85]

He needs his mojo back.

 

[RUBlackout]

That’s exactly it..after that indiana game his head has not been on straight

He will realize if he doesn’t look to score and play better his minutes are going elsewhere

 

[RUPete]

He’s probably not healthy. I think he reaggravated the shoulder injury in the MSU game. He gutted it out for that game, but then it became an issue.

 

[ImBadRU]

At the game 2nite...he is very slow.

 

[bac2therac]

some resetting in order, do not envy Pike's job in figuring it out and handling egos

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Paul’s always been an emotional kid. Pike needs to reset him. We need him if we are going to finish well and to have a shot in the ncaa games.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

Right now …Paul will benefit from Simpson taking the ball and the pressure off him for nearly 40 minutes a game

I have been wondering that too, hard to believe he could get into this deep of a funk without an injury.

Dude went from the man vs MSU to the invisible man tonight

 

[RUisB1Gtime]

He is in a rut... But the good news is he could get hot just in time for March..

 

[RUinPinehurst]

It's very good to know we have both Paul and Derek heading into our last two games, the B1G tourney, and the NCAAs.

 

[Yeah Baby]

This team wants to win! Paul was immediately directing the team huddle when he picked up every foul knowing he was headed to he bench including his 5th. I’m not worried about Paul. If we lost again he may his head may have exploded but he loves to win so he’s happy right now.

Derek was hot so they got him the ball.

Hyatt does for 24 against Nebraska and the next game he’s looking for Cam who was on fire.

They play GREAT team defense. They all want to win.

No drama

I think the tripping thing and getting mobbed on social media got to him tbh.

 

[Scangg]

If this team is going to make a run we need Paul to play better

Simpson was unbelievable tonight but remember Indiana. It's not fair to Simpson to expect this level of play every night as a freshman

 

[RUskoolie]

He needs to come off tithe bench for a few games. Until he learns to shoot the ball he is more negative than positive. I love the kid but we won because he fouled out

Exactly! This will alleviate the pressure for him. Paul has been pressing. And he’s confused now on the floor, he’s out of the flow. He is reticent to shoot, robotic on the drives and posts and struggling to finish at the rim.

He needs to street ball for a week and get back to basics. Remind himself why he’s a baller and loves the game.

To quote movie Seabiscuit, “he has to learn how to be a horse again”. Am I right?!

 

[Scarlet Shack]

Paul will benefit from not handing the ball for 36 minutes a game …and take sone pressure off
