My quick Monmouth take.

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

1. The guy from Monmouth was unconscious. Wish we had stuck to a traditional man rather then the frequent center hedging and double teaming.
2. Been mentioned in other threads but Dercack might be the steal from the portal. And he’s back next year!
3. Ogbole is lost out there. I mean really lost. Sommerville showing off his shot blocking abilities this game-still a little lost on D.
4. The Harper and Bailey show is legit. However aces last missed three (terrible shot) let Monmouth back in the game a bit.
5. Hayes is as advertised.
6. Good to see Acuff connect on a three. Hope to see him continue to progress.
7. Martini was en fuego. Nuff said there!

Defense??

That dude on Monmouth was unconscious. I noted that threre was too much center hedging and double teams which caused him to be open.

Rutgers should consider switching to a zone defense.In 3 games against mediocre competition Rutgers man to man defense has been unable to stop opponents from making 3 pointers.Monmouth made 13 three pointers which is a clear indication of poor defense.

You really don’t understand the advantages of a zone defense, it does not include defending outside shooting.

Or getting rebounds.

Why does it seem there is one of these on every team we play? Unconscious 3 pt shooters…

a 3-2 zone would absolutely enhance D against shooters but weaken our interior D, which seems soft. I’d rather make guys beat us from downtown rather than get our bigs in foul trouble defending in the paint

Of the three games, I felt Wagner missed some open shots that allowed us to extend the lead in first half. This game could have been really ugly if not for Monmouth making silly 3s.
