It’s a new beginning for the Rutgers men’s basketball team and it showed on the court Friday night at the RAC. Third year head coach Steve Pikiell finally has a roster comprised of his own recruits except for one player and the difference was on display in the season opener. After struggling the first ten minutes or so of the first half, Rutgers exploded with a flurry of three-pointers and a much improved offense overall. It turned a one point deficit with seven minutes left in the opening frame into a 10 point lead at the half. Rutgers made 7 of 13 shots from behind the arc in the first half and finished an incredible 12 of 20 from three-point range in the game, as six different players connected from behind the arc.
