It was not the plan for Rutgers’ backcourt to be small. Two starting guards from last season who were expected to return – 6-foot-6 Paul Mulcahy and 6-foot-4 Cam Spencer – walked out on their teammates and head coach Steve Pikiell in the late spring, long after most transfer activity had taken place. That left the stage to smaller backcourt mates who were pegged for complementary roles.

Coach Steve Pikiell can't help that his guards are small. That's on the guys who walked out late last spring. But he can get more out of his big men.
