Basketball Rutgers Basketball makes it two in a row, defeating Maryland 56-53

Very interesting matchup between these two teams.



These will be the key player matchups today.

Rutgers has won their last two trips to College Park, hopefully they can make it a third. This is a tricky opponent they are playing today. Maryland has a very good defense. If Rutgers doesn't contain Jahmir Young, then Maryland will win this game.

Along with Boo Buie, who has been at Northwestern for 10 years, freakin' Donta Scott has been a Terp for 10 years. I'm convinced. Ha.
 
Haha yeah, it feels that way cos he was given the extra year for COVID. This is his 5th year.

That extra COVID year stuff will be phasing out soon and you'll see CBB return to younger players.

Can't be J Will on Young, at least not to start out the game... unless Pike changes the starting lineup. Simpson or Davis can't guard Geronimo at 6'6 225 lbs

Correct. Simpson or Davis need to guard Young, and unfortunately that means our best perimeter defender will have to play either of the two worst offensive players in MD's starting lineup (Geronimo or Harris-Smith).

That said, I wonder if Pike will have JWill attempt to guard Scott at times. He would be giving up 3 inches and 30 pounds, but Scott is their best 3-pt shooter, so maybe JWill can take away Scott's perimeter game.

plus or minus 6 missed layups?

plus or minus 60% from the charity strip?

we need less then 6 and more than 60% to win
 
With both teams poor at 3 point shooting and having good defenses, if one team has a good night from 3 they probably win
 
Saw some stats where Maryland is a poor defensive rebounding team and has a high turnover rate

Crash the offensive glass and pressure them on D!
 
Interesting stat. In league games Maryland is a top 10 defensive rebounding team in the country. Road games they are worse then 300th. They give up virtually no offensive boards at home. This may be the key if we get some offensive boards we can win

Austin Williams likely out tonight. Listed as questionable but he's in street clothes

Anyone else gonna watch it on delay? 6:30 tipoffs are the worst

Woah that's a crazyyy difference
 
SL:

Just walked into the XFinity Center, where Rutgers faces Maryland in an hour. Veteran guard Austin Williams, listed as questionable, is in street clothes and not warming up, so appears he is OUT today. He played just three minutes against Michigan on Saturday.

Mawot Mag and Emmanuel Ogbole, the other two players listed as questionable, are dressed and going through warm ups. -- BF
 
Jeez Cliff. Hate not getting a shot off.

Two possessions two turnovers
