Basketball Rutgers Basketball rolls past NJIT to move to 2-0

Miteo is young and a bit raw, but he plays like a basketball player unlike say Ogbole, who just didn't have the basketball instincts. The mistakes are correctable and by the end of this season, he could be playing on a different level than he is now if he wants it enough.

He’s not a Big Ten player, simply. Not sure why some seemed to fall in love with him last year. I don’t see much of a role for him this year with improved depth

Hate to be a complainer, but that’s about the most unimpressive 20 points lead I can imagine.New Haven would crush this team.

Cannot complain about anything. Lot of potential out there, scoring threats, and way more engaged. Its a giant step up from last year non conference but the jury is still out on how to how it will transkate against the large step up in competition in Vegas

Biggest takeaway so far is the # of scoring threats. Haven’t had this in a long time

I thought Miteo was a transfer. Holy crap he is gonna be a monster with his overall skills

I think he's gonna make an immediate impact even in conference play. Guy is a load and is flashing signs of a real premier big man soon enough. Maybe even this year.

RutgersClassof2004 · 2026-11-10T19:15:54-0600

Everybody can score. And looks motivated. Could be very dangerous!

RUbyRED · 2026-11-10T19:24:08-0600

You can just tell Sydnor is a piece

SAE96 · 2026-11-10T19:24:11-0600

Great to see the guys pushing the lead in the second half.

NJIT are pathetic. Maybe a little hungover from Sunday plus they have a game tomorrow night down in Virginia

I like they are bringing him along slowly, I would venture to say with the ankle injury, he hasn't been running much

RU will need him more in conference than now.

RutgersClassof2004 · 2026-11-10T19:34:52-0600

Bet RU now before secret's OUT!!!!

Rusty_Screw_88 · 2026-11-10T19:34:57-0600

I am enjoying watching this. There is a lot to like, although things need to be cleaned up as well. I know it is NJIT, but it's a good start

RUbyRED · 2026-11-10T19:36:37-0600

Tough to really know what we have til we get to Vegas but I’m encouraged thru 2 buy games

Rusty_Screw_88 · 2026-11-10T19:36:47-0600

Need 2 more points

RUgal · 2026-11-10T19:37:35-0600

Great way to end this day

GM · 2026-11-10T19:41:22-0600

Happy for Sydnor, needed to show some confidence. Was watching his body language on the bench and he was rooting on his teammates whole time, happy with him. He prob needs some seasoning in terms of learning the D and maybe will try to do too much on O, but hopefully he settles in with more reps as he is a real asset

Some of the other teams are doing better. Football has just dragged everything down.

SAE96 · 2026-11-10T19:41:58-0600

Nice to see them close it out with 101. That’s how to finish against a lower tier opponent.

RUChet · 2026-11-10T19:49:02-0600

Sydnor has skill - needs more minutes over time

Jones/Smith - 2 good additions

Grudak - smaller than I thought. He was same height as the 6-8 NJIT center

My biggest worry is when we play big teams. We have no size at all. Small starting guards, thin forwards, short center.

so we will have to rebound well as a team

Scangg · 2026-11-10T19:49:46-0600

Sydnor looks awesome. He is the most talented player on the roster and can do it all. Size athleticism strength can dribble shoot score rebound

Rokodesh · 2026-11-10T19:56:52-0600

Team played sloppy in the 2H and still won by 37

Sydnor is going to be very good.

He's from the Bronx. So he has some street smarts as well.

Diego is not a wing. He’s either a 4 or 5 and we are playing him at the 5

I like our wings a lot but I am worried about our size in the post

The B1G can field some really big teams so we have e to rebound as a team or we will be in trouble

Diego is listed at 6'7 210 and nowhere near a 5

I think you’re confusing Diego Garavaglia and Mervedi Miteo.

Diego is a 6-7 wing.

Miteo is a 6-10 center.

Lot of new faces, so probably just a mixup. Even saw fans near me checking the roster on their phones.

Yeah, I mixed him up with Miteo

I know this is a little off topic but Dayton already eliminated from at large bid 3 games in with b2b home losses to N. Illinois and Siena. Didn't this happen to Dayton a few years ago with a pretty good team and resume at the end.

I didn’t watch the first game because I was out of town. This is the first I’m seeing of this team. You guys are outta your mind calling for 18/19 wins. This is another 12/13 win team.

You watched 10 mins.
