Why this RU team is a tough out

[BillyC80]

Think about it from the perspective of the opposing coach. He's thinking: How do we deal with an agile 7-footer who can pass out of the high post? How do we contend with a 6'9" shooting guard who can bury the three? How do we keep their ferocious power forward from cleaning up on the offensive glass? How do we get inside looks when facing one of the top shot-blockers in their conference? How do we keep their two lightning quick point guards from slicing and dicing, dishing and swishing (thank you Clyde)? And most of all, how do we sustain ourselves for a full 40 minutes against their overall hustle, toughness and depth?

We are Rutgers, and we are a force!

Or as long as we hit the boards we will win as Rutgers is a poor shooting team. Partly kidding as Im happy so far, great coaching. Our shooting has to improve vs good teams.

Miami also struggles on the offensive end. IMO, this game is set up perfectly for an upset by RU based on our strengths

Good post, but Gettys is not agile. He's a space eater, is a good passer, and has a soft touch around the basket. But agile he ain't.

I am with you on CJ but I want to believe BillyC80 was referring to Sa. CJ brings a different dimension especially against zone defenses with his passing abilities and toughness.

I was referring to CJ the passer and Sa the shot-blocker. Probably should have described CJ as coordinated versus agile.
