Embracing Expectations: 4 Thoughts On An Embarrassing 72-51 Rutgers Loss to Nebraska

That was not good.

Four Thoughts

Didn’t Show Up: Let’s put it clearly: in a game that would wrap up their NCAA Tournament appearance in a bow, the Scarlet Knights didn’t show up. They didn’t bring the effort. They didn’t play defense and they let the Nebraska Cornhuskers run and score all over them. I warned everyone about this in my last four thoughts. Nebraska wasn’t going to be a pushover. Despite their record, they can score.

Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy: Rutgers couldn’t take care of the ball.
