Kennesaw has several guys who are very good from 3 including their top 2 scorers who shoot the 3 just shy of 50% through 5 games. They are 4th in rebounding in the country with 47 per game. This has the makings of a track meet and the team that gets into a scoring funk is going to be the one the one playing catsup all game

I predict you will once again waste 2-3 hours of your life on a recap of a game that you did not attend or possibly even watch.

The thing is, we don’t really know how good KSU is. They average 91 ppg, and they shoot 38.4% from 3-pt range on high volume, but they’ve played nobody:

- Toccoa Falls
- Cal Baptist
- Bryan College
- Presbyterian
- Abilene Christian

Not that our four games have been against a Murderer’s Row, but their five games have been against very low level competition.

With that said, they sure can score, and I think they’ll score on us since our perimeter defense is very suspect right now. Bombs away.

I’ve been worried about this game since it was scheduled, as playing a true road game in one of these small “bandbox” type venues is scary. PTSD from our loss to Fordham early in Pike’s tenure. But I think we can score too and will overcome. And KSU’s defense is bad (275th in KenPom).

Bailey and Harper combined might score 40-50 points which will be needed if the defense gives up more than 75 points.

This game gets me a bit nervous.

I’m concerned because :

- Game will be like a Super bowl for Kennesaw State as I’m sure it’s rare for a Power conference team to play at their gym. Crowd will be amp’d

- Could be a perfect trap game for Rutgers if they’re looking ahead to the Vegas Tourney

- Need Ace and JMIke to play within themselves as I’m sure both will be revved up given all their family and friends in attendance

I had similar thoughts and concern.

Saving grace might be that it’s so obviously a trap game that it isn’t one.

They need to get better at defense and soon. They will struggle in the B1G if they can’t stop teams from scoring at will. Bashir hit for 39 and I see too many easy layups being scored against the D.

My prediction is the opposition has a guard who will score over 30 if left open and seemingly unpressured

KSU is 2-1 vs D1 schools, beating two decent teams in Presbyterian and Abilene Christian and losing on the road to Cal Baptist. In D1 games they average 37 rebounds, same as us.

They were in a dogfight with Abilene and were down by 2 at the half. Their freshman guard Wooley played all 40 minutes and had 8 turnovers. Their other stud player Cottle played 36 minutes. KSU scored 33 points from the foul line and won by 6.

This should be a relatively close, high scoring game, and RU will do well to escape with a victory.

RU wins 84-79
