Anybody have any to add. 2-4 now in the Big 10 holding their own through the first 6 with a brutal 7 game stretch upcoming. Some signs emerging on how to do it.
- Francis 35 plus minutes and 25 plus points
- Secondary complimentary player like a Buchahan or Grant having double double
- Guard stepping up with buckets when needed. J Mike tonight, Powers at times the past RAC games. Lino Mark vs Oregon.
- finding ways to win beyong fg whether that be limiting turnovers like tonight or causing turnovers and turning them into points like vs Oregon. Also would include drawing fouls an getting to free throw line especially late in game
- Pike feel for the game and riding lineups that are working. Starting to do this the last 3 games at the RAC
- Playing opponents with limited offensive options. Lets be honest Northwestern and Oregon are not the most efficient offensive minded opponents with a vareity of options. A good D like RU has played the last 2 can thwart teams like this.
- Overtime! Well not really but there is something to be said for RU now figuring out to win in close games and having a dynamic player like Francis you can go to in the late moments.
- score over 70 points. Rutgers is 8-1 when they score over 70 point this year.
- Playing at the RAC....RU has played like *** away from the RAC except for that one win in Vegas.
Rutgers is 7-0 when they win the rebound battle.
