If you wanted to draw up the best possible response for a young basketball team such as Rutgers after a disappointing loss like the one Friday against St. John’s, it couldn’t look any better than Monday’s performance against Eastern Michigan. Facing the matchup zone for the first time, Rutgers approached it with poise and a collective effort to share the basketball. However, they were most impressive on the defensive end, setting an NCAA record by holding EMU to the fewest points in a first half in the shot clock era (since 1985) and went to the locker room leading 31-4.
