Embracing Expectations: 4 Thoughts on Nebraska

Rutgers walks into Nebraska without its best player and floor leader and dominates the game 79-62. Four thoughts.

The Backcourt: Before the game, I was distraught. So distraught that I had to look up how to spell distraught. (C’mon, how often do you use distraught?). Geo Baker had a injured left thumb and is out indefinitely. So, who was going to handle the talented Nebraska backcourt? Well, Caleb McConnell and Jacob Young were up to the task. McConnell stepped into the starting role for Baker and went 8-8 from the floor and scored 20 points.
