Rutgers is prepared to take on Syracuse Tuesday night during the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. The No. 21 Scarlet Knights will have to do so without Geo Baker.
Steve Pikiell confirmed on Monday that Baker will not be available against Syracuse, but that he has been making progress in his recovery.
“He hasn’t practiced yet. I don’t think he’s going to practice today,” Pikiell said during his Monday news conference. “If you don’t practice, it’s hard to play guys. I’m just glad, yesterday it was the first time he was in the gym shooting around a little bit.
