Rutgers Defense Dominated First Game

Rutgers faced off against Wagner in the first game and they sure looked impressive. Rutgers defense gave up 52 points and they ended up winning by 23 points. At halftime, they were up 36-19 and they never looked back on the way to the victory. As a team Rutgers shot 50.9 percent from the field and 30.4 percent from behind the three-point line. Dylan Harper looks like the real deal and he put up 20 points, four rebounds, and three assists. There were four different players that put up at least 10 points. In this game, the Rutgers defense is going to need to step up again in a big way. Rutgers will take on Monmouth, Merrimack, Kennesaw State, Notre Dame, and Alabama after this game.

Why Rutgers Will Beat Saint Peter’s

• Saint Peter’s has lost five of its last six games against the Big Ten Conference.
• Saint Peter’s has lost the first half in each of its last six games against the Big Ten Conference.

Saint Peter’s Have Been Competitive

Saint Peter’s has looked competitive in each of the first two games of the season but each has ended in defeats. In the first game of the season against Seton Hall, the defense gave up only 57 points, but they ended up winning by four points. In the last game against UMass Lowell, the offense scored 74 points, but the defense gave up 81 points and that led to the defeat. Marcus Randolph had a strong game putting up 16 points, four rebounds, and two assists, but that wasn’t enough. In this game, Saint Peter’s needs to take advantage of each possession to try and put the pressure on. 

Saint Peter’s vs Rutgers Prediction

This total is too high. Saint Peter’s had a game where the offense already really struggled to score and it’s going to be much of the same here. Saint Peter’s offense is going to really struggle to take quality shots, and they might even struggle to get to 40 points. Rutgers will be fine playing that slower pace, and this game is going to end up under the total. Back the under to cash.
