Thank goodness we have another shooter in Thiam. Corey missing FTs is killing me.

Gotta love that the team gets to the line a lot...in big ten play this can really keep us in a lot of games

It's nice to know the D is solid, gives the offense time to find their identity throughout the year

Defensively we are playing very well .

offensively we remain offensive.

I am actually impressed with Niagara's athleticism, wasn't expecting it from an 0-3 MAAC team. They frankly look to to have better athletes than DePaul.

The first 12 minutes are an example of why people should tone down expectations. ..this team isnt good offensively. .they really need to work hard to get their leads..which is going to be tougher to do against better competition.

35-30...sloppy and unfocused. Niagara isn't good at all. Rutgers falling back into bad habits with decision making today

Very methodical first half....a couple of rushed shots late first half, but overall effort is there. Would like to see Eugene gather some minutes in 2nd half to help slow down some of Niagara's shooting, but overall, a team still learning how to play together and finding their roles on the team.

bad decision by Williams shooting that . Hold for the last shot.

not happy with the offense. we have had a couple of nice assists but a lot of our points are due to individual plays and not team oriented. I again give credit to Niagara their defense down low when we drive is definitely bothering us. They have altered and blocked quite a few shots.

They have some athletes on defense and have been the best thus far keeping us (relatively) off the glass. Niagara's issues look to be on offense as well. We need to get up 1/2 a step on them.

Our goal should be hold them under 30 points in 2nd half.

This niagara team looks good. Their bigs play defense. Let's wear them down with our depth in the second half.

No one is expecting 20 points victories in every OCC games....just ask some others that have struggled early in the season. There are experiments with different lineups, lots of substitutions and seeing some looks from for the first time.
