Is the Scarlet Knights a tribute to Indiana's Robert Montgomery Knight and the three National Championships won under his coaching?
Rutgers is decent on offense and soft on defense. They are still adjusting to Harper being so good on offense. Bailey is still working through his adjustments.
IU is a good shooting team, except for threes. Defensively, they are ok if they try. Do not lose the ball with turnovers and go after rebounds.
Both teams are struggling for different reasons. Rutgers has whiffed on the transfer portal bigs. And they are focusing on offense more than defense this year in order to recruit those that want to get into the NBA.
IU is struggling because...well, we know why...effort, lack of focus, chemistry, ball handling, effort, few threes, coaching and effort.
