Here we go, St. John’s and Rutgers at a near sellout at the RAC on the Friday before Thanksgiving. A legitimate big game in mid-November and the first test of the season for both teams. We will learn more about this young Rutgers team tonight than we have in the first two games combined. Can the shooting continue to be a revelation? Will the defense be improved from the first two games? Can Geo Baker and the rest of the backcourt handle the pressure of St. John’s? Does Eugene Omoruyi look to dominate in the paint to expose the lack of size from the Johnnies? Plenty of questions and now it’s time to watch for the answers. Join us in the comment section below during the game and follow us for live commentary on twitter as well. May the RAC rock loudly tonight!
Tonight.
