Sluggish Start Dooms Men's Hoops at Rutgers
PISCATAWAY, N.J. (EMUEagles.com) – Eastern Michigan University's men's basketball team struggled to get the offense going in the first half at Rutgers University and was never able to fully recover, falling 63-36 to the Scarlet Knights at the Rutgers Athletic Center.
Rutgers (3-1) shot out to an 11-0 run and never looked back, as Eastern (4-2) struggled to find open shots against a suffocating Scarlet Knights' defense. The Eagles came back in the second half and played even with the home team, each scoring 32 points, but the first half deficit was too much to overcome.
