A new-look Scarlet Knight squad was expected to move fast on the offensive side of the floor and improve its ability to shoot the ball.
While that continues to be the case, there is one constant with a Steve Pikiell coached team and that is defense.
On Wednesday night, Rutgers hosted Georgetown in the final edition of the Gavitt Tipoff Games and made it difficult for the road team all night long.
The Scarlet Knights forced 21 turnovers during a 71-60 win over the Hoyas at Jersey Mike’s Arena in Piscataway. They held Georgetown to just 35.
