This was the performance we were looking for from Rutgers, utter domination of their opponent, as they defeated Central Connecticut State 79-37. That hadn’t happened once in their seven wins entering tonight’s game, but it has now. Don’t misunderstand, Central Connecticut is not a good basketball team and entered the game with a KenPom ranking of #337 out of 351 Division I teams. Even so, Rutgers needed this type of performance, as the schedule increases in difficulty from here on out.
It was without a doubt, the best played half of the season for the Scarlet Knights in the opening frame of this game.
