With Rutgers’ incredible, 20-point home victory vs. Seton Hall in the books and a couple of non-conference games to come prior to the New Year, we at OTB felt it made sense to take a look at the team’s performance so far this season from an analytical perspective. The analysis which follows borrows heavily from KenPom data, but also uses a dose of the eye test (both are important in evaluating college basketball).
The short story is, from an efficiency standpoint, this Rutgers team is already the most complete and balanced team we have seen on the banks in many years.
