Sometimes a team needs to flex its muscles against an inferior squad.
That is what Rutgers did on New Year’s Day when it welcomed Central Connecticut State to Jersey Mike’s Arena. The Scarlet Knights took advantage of a depleted Blue Devils’ team during a dominant 79-48 victory.
Central Connecticut State came into Saturday’s game with just eight scholarship players available. It did not help that they played Friday night as well. Under regular conditions, Rutgers would still be big favorites and they showed why.
The Scarlet Knights performed well on both ends from the opening minutes.
