Rutgers Basketball: Can defense keep Scarlet Knights in Big Ten race?

Many questions have been answered for Rutgers to the point of the season.

Can the Scarlet Knights make up for the losses of Ron Harper Jr. and Geo Baker? It seems as though the current backcourt duo is up for the task. Who is going to take the final shot in crunch time? On Monday night against Purdue, Paul Mulcahy had the ball in his hands and set up the game-winner from Cam Spencer.

Now, the final question remains, is this level of success sustainable? The short answer — with this defense, Rutgers should remain competitive in the Big Ten.
