Three Point Shooting is Improving: We’ve heard about how Rutgers is a bad 3 point shooting team and that showed early in the season, but in the last 4 games, Rutgers has upped it’s percentage to 37% from beyond the arc. Against Fordham today, they went 4-9 with Issa Thiam sitting most of the game with an illness. If Rutgers can be that consistent for the rest of the year—if this is not just a “hot” streak—37% is good enough to keep defenses honest. I am starting to think this is a legit stat, because Rutgers is taking good shots and for the most part, not forcing it.
