It wasn't pretty on Monday night.
A new-look Rutgers team entered the season with NCAA Tournament aspirations and struggled out of the gate. The in-state rivalry between Rutgers and Princeton returned for the first time in a decade and it was the Tigers who looked like the superior team.
Issues from last season came up once again. Rutgers was 6-for-14 on layups. It struggled to rebound. Most importantly, a new-look backcourt did not flow right away.
Yes, there are many questions to answer after last night but it is not time to push the panic button just yet.
