A bounce-back effort from Rutgers was needed after suffering its first loss.
On Friday afternoon, the Scarlet Knights came out flat and fell behind early against Temple. Tuesday night — it was quite the opposite.
Rutgers looked like a team on a mission during a 76-46 victory over Rider at Jersey Mike’s Arena. The success at home continues as the Scarlet Knights have now defeated three inferior opponents with ease on their home floor. In previous years, Rutgers have let teams hang around but that is not the case so far this season.
Caleb McConnell (knee) and Paul Mulcahy (shoulder) remained out with an injury.
