I don't know who is running on less fumes, the Rutgers men's basketball team or myself covering them all season. As much as Rutgers was focused and smart on offense in the first half, they were dumb and unorganized on defense the entire game. Michigan State came into the game leading the country in shooting 43% from three-point range. And yet, Eddie Jordan had no strategy or any adjustments in defending against them. There was no switch to a zone defense to give the Spartans a different look. There was no effort to eliminate open space on the perimeter, they were routinely beaten back down the floor in transition, and there was little awareness of the shooters on the floor.
