Can Rutgers Build on the Last Game?

Rutgers in the last game faced off against a Penn State team that was strong to start the season and they were able to secure the 80-76 victory. They were outscored 43-32 in the second half, but they held onto the win. Dylan Harper had a strong game putting up 24 points, 12 rebounds, and five assists. Guard Ace Bailey also had a strong game putting up 15 points and 15 rebounds. Rutgers on the season is averaging 79.7 points while their defense is giving up 75.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 101th in college basketball while the defense is ranked 283rd. Dylan Harper has been the top player averaging 23.4 points while shooting 51.3 percent from the field. 

Big Chance for Seton Hall

Seton Hall in the last game faced off against Oklahoma State and the defense was a major issue. The offense scored 76 points but the defense gave up 85 points and that led to the defeat. Isaiah Coleman had a strong game putting up 18 points, three assists, and two rebounds. Two games ago against NJIT, the defense gave up only 56 points and the defense will need to step up. Seton Hall is averaging 60.1 points while their defense is giving up 59.4 points per game. Seton Hal is most comfortable when they are playing at a slower pace and in this game, the defense is going to need to be good. 

Seton Hall vs Rutgers Prediction

Seton Hall knows to have a chance in this game they are going to need to slow down the pace and that’s exactly what they are going to do here. I am not sure that is going to be enough for them to come away with a victory but it’s going to be enough for this game to be lower scoring. Look for bad shooting from both teams here, and this game is going to end up staying under the total.
