Nine and One: No one saw Rutgers at 9-1. Sorry, you didn’t, even with this schedule. But Rutgers gutted this one out. They stepped up with a big 15-0 run and won the game. That is a learning moment. Stony Brook threw every haymaker they had at the Scarlet Knights, and Rutgers rode it out. They took over and bore down when they needed to.
Free Throws: Okay, seriously, this shouldn’t have been this close. Rutgers missed too many free throws early before locking in down the stretch. Too many misses on the front ends of one and ones.
