The Rutgers men’s basketball team improved to 2-0 on the season on Saturday with a 48-35 victory over Merrimack. It was a second straight poor offensive performance from the Scarlet Knights. That being said
Miserable shooting
Rutgers did the unthinkable and followed up a 37.5% shooting night in the season opener with making just 31.3% of its shots on Saturday. They were just 5 of 25 for 20% shooting in the first half including 1 of 8 from three-point range. RU was also just 7 of 14 on layups in the game. If such a bad shooting game happened against a Big Ten opponent, RU would have been buried at halftime.
