Game 1 recap & four thoughts

Game Preview

After a sparkling season debut on Friday night, Rutgers looks to continue playing well less than 48 hours later in a Sunday matinee this afternoon. While Drexel is a team that Rutgers should handle, it’s a challenge such a new team cannot take for granted. It’s unfair to expect for Rutgers to shoot as well as they did on Friday, but sharing the basketball should remain the same. Hopefully there is improvement on defense and rebounding as well.
