Steve Pikiell’s new look Scarlet Knights destroyed Fairleigh Dickinson 90-55. There’s not much else to add to that sentence, so let’s get right to my 4 thoughts.
Threes!: Rutgers went 12-20 from deep, shooting 60% from long range. And it wasn’t just one player getting hot. Geo Baker, Peter Kiss, Ron Harper, Jr., Issa Thiam, Eugene Omoruyi, and Montez Mathis all connected from beyond the arc. Rutgers is young and they aren’t going to be this hot from deep every night, but the fact that multiple players on these team are threats from long distance is uplifting.
