Miami returns from a runner-up finish in Orange County at the Wooden Legacy Tournament to play the Rutgers Scarlett Knight in Coral Gables, part of the annual ACC-Big Ten Challenge.
Rutgers has an 4-1 record, with wins against Fairleigh Dickinson, Drexel, Eastern Michigan and Boston University. A loss to St. Johns is sandwiched between the wins.
So far, RU has preferred games that are slower-paced and lower scoring, averaging 73.4 points-per-game as a team and allowing 57. Their most recent game against BU ended 55-44, a contrast from the fast paced trend the Hurricanes are setting so far throughout this young season.
