Basketball Rutgers Basketball holds off Saint Peter's with late defensive surge

They won their conference last year (NCAA’s) and I’m pretty sure expected to win it again this year.
Let’s not sugar coat this. Whatever the preseason forecast was they are 0-2 with both losses to bad teams. Seton Hall is not good. They just lost to a Fordham team that lost 92-60 to SJU.

OK! Well that was....anxiety ridden. Not at all fun. But I'll take it!

I forgot how, during the NCAA seasons (2020-2022) I could not fall asleep after watching Rutgers hoops play. This game reminded me. Prob will need a solid hr, 90 mins before i can even think of sleeping.

I'm just presenting facts to you, not opinion, and they played a damn good game today.
 
Avoided disaster. Hard fought physical game is a great early season test so it's a good thing in the long run

Derkack and Martini showed up late when it mattered most along with Harper leading the way

Surprised we saw so little Hayes but Pike pulled the right strings at halftime
 
Ugly. A win is a win but playing like this probably won’t suffice in Las Vegas.
 
I have to admit, I had a bad feeling about this game. Thank God, we turned it around in the 2nd half and played much better defense, allowing 23 points. Also, SP weakness appears to be from the charity stripe. They only shot 46.7%. What is still troubling is we allowed 10 3 pointers, but their blistering 50%+ in the first half ended in 37%.

Yale giving Purdue a little bit of a fight…will likely be an easy Purdue win, but these early season games can be really tricky….especially now with basically a new team every year and little time to develop chemistry.

Agreed. No way can we play like this. But we will have Ace in our lineup, so our team will look a lot better.
ive been rationalziing that, with Ace playing, he prob covers their guy malcolm and that game is completely different tonight.
