Well other than a couple other cupcakes at the end of December every other game is going to be a challenge on some level. Hope the boys enjoy an easy one tomorrow before the real season begins.

Rutgers led at half last year 44-14 in a laugher. CCSU does appear to be improved this year going off their margin of losses this year

Point spread opened at 24. CCSU is ranked 339th of 363 in KenPom. Rutgers is 38th.

It’s poor preparation for Wednesday’s game in Coral Gables.

A cream puff without the cream. Don't see any real upside coming out of this game.

It's not poor preparation for the young players as they need experience while Caleb and Paul are out. You don't want to overload the young guys as they adjust to the faster and more physical college game. Simpson and Wolf can use another tune-up game.

BTW is Miami’s Isaiah Wong’s home town really Piscataway NJ?

While kenpom isn’t a valuable tool until 10+ games are played, it is nonetheless impressive (imo) that Rutgers ranks #38 without Caleb and (for the past 2 and 2/3 games) Paul.

This group has been playing very nicely together.

Glad to see some fans acknowledge the team for their solid play without two key cogs.

Cliff should only play the first half….

Cliff should only play the first half….

More reps for Woolfolk and Reiber would be good.

BTW is Miami’s Isaiah Wong’s home town really Piscataway NJ?

Yes, when he was a youngster. As he grew older, he moved around a lot to plays hoops for different schools.

 

[ScarletDog]

He (WONG) played for Notre Dame High School (Lawrenceville NJ) for part of his HS ball.

RU’s KenPom climbed to 34.
CCSU fell one spot to 340.
