Rutgers is about to tip off its third game in five days. This game will tell us the most about this team in the young season so far. The Vikings of Cleveland State aren't good, but they have some shooters and play in a decent conference. They are certainly a team capable of beating Rutgers if they don't come to play tonight.

I do think the veteran core of Deshawn Freeman, Corey Sanders, and Mike Williams will lead a strong response from this team. Rutgers needs to come out with an attacking mentality on offense and intensity on the defensive end. If they do that, they should win by double digits.
