The Scarlet Knights avoided playing in the first round, which began on Tuesday. We are in for a very good match. This is not going to be a lopsided win for either team. Fewer than 10 points will likely decide this game.

The first half belongs to the Scarlet Knights. It was 20 outstanding minutes of great basketball from the team. Rutgers built a 20-point first-half lead. In the second half, they didn’t bring the same fire and focus as in the first.

The first half has always been a struggle all season for Rutgers. Rutgers has to play and execute better in fast-break situations. Rutgers must be consistent as a unit with their defense and connect.
