no there have been games where we tried to grind things out...NW, Illinois, UCLA

its not worth the effort right now with zero at large shot and no point in trying to build for the future, this is about right here right now

expect 2 ugly losses vs Michgan and Purdue and two probable exciting wins for USC and Minnesota

I haven’t looked the numbers to confirm but this team seems to be able to do one of offense and defense on a given day but not both

Like the correlation between good offense and bad defense and vice versa is very high

25 % probability we are disinterested on D and shoot worse than normal and lose badly
50% probability game is really close with us being disinterested on D, but Ace and Dylan and others make shots
25% probabily we win going away with a better defensive performance and we knock down a bunch of shots

I have ZERO evidence that it will change...we have been trending the wrong way.

For us to be successful we are need to get between a B+ to an A (depending on opponent) on offense

When I lived in Mercer county, I always thought the price of playing as a resident was good at the Mercer Oakes courses in West Windsor and they're usually kept up pretty well. Haven't played them in over a decade though.

I also grew up playing the Mercer courses especially both Oaks courses. I haven't played them in ages until this past summer I played Mercer Oaks East....it was approaching dog track territory.

Really poor conditions. I get it was a hard summer with the lack of rain but they appeared to only be cutting once a week. The greens were practically fairways. Terrible bunkers. Weeds all over the fairways. As someone who has a lot of nostalgia for that course having been a young lad playing it growing up, it was sad to see.

I have a hot take that you'll hate, Ace may be our best defensive player.

explain.....I will be honest...I can't give you a better answer.

When he is engaged he can make defensive plays and get 10 1/2 foot high rebounds.

I have a tougher time watching games on TV, but I think he made a big defensive play down the stretch last night from a help position.

One of the more interesting aspects of this game was that Rutgers won in overtime without making a basket.All points from the foul line.I'm very happy with the win on the road but concerned with defense allowing 85 points.Defense is all about effort and has been a strong point of the Rutgers coaching staff in past seasons.
