    Far more optimistic today.

    Good points. Like last year, RU is so much better when Francis shares the rock. Way too much selfish play at MSG especially in the 2nd half collapse. This team will only take a step forward if it shares the ball on offense, sets high screens to get uncontested 3-point shots, gets kick-outs to...

    Observations from first scrimmage.

    The stats don’t support your argument. Smith, Buchanan, JMike and Francis all shot 35% or better from 3 last year. So did Lino in the last 10 games of last year after his awful start. Most of those guys overall FG%, which includes layups, is in the low 40’s.

    Observations from first scrimmage.

    But "inside the arc" includes layups and does not isolate the FG% for mid-range shots which is almost always lower than the FG% for layups.

    Observations from first scrimmage.

    Perkins is a clutch player for sure, but shoots only 36.9% from three so he didn’t make my list as a sharpshooter (40% plus). I agree about Gurdak. But the fact remains, we scored more points from the mid range than we did from three or at the rim. I have no problem with getting the ball...

    Observations from first scrimmage.

    Good observations but unduly hard on J Mike IMHO. The beef I had with what I saw on Sunday is Brandon Knight's refusal to adapt our offense to the modern era. He has reportedly been in charge of the O for the past few years and continues to emphasize mid-range shots instead of 3-pointers and...

    B1G media preseason poll

    I hear you, but when is the last time RU substantially outperformed where we were picked in the pre-season writer's poll?

    B1G media preseason poll

    While preseason predictions are hardly 100% accurate, both of RU‘s featured programs seem to be moving in the wrong direction! Keli as her work cut out for her.

    Team photo day

    Too hard to tell from that photo as it’s unclear whether both are the same distance form the wall.

    BB Recruiting Four-Star Point Guard Korey Francis commits to Rutgers Basketball

    I agree, but the proof will be in the pudding.

    BB Recruiting Four-Star Point Guard Korey Francis commits to Rutgers Basketball

    It's hard to get too excited about landing a lower 4-star in the NIL era. Most top teams spend on seasoned transfers and 5-star, NBA-ready freshman. (his offer list is consistent with that fact). Even if a 4-star pans out, they often take a year or two to do so and there's no guarantee they...

    Darren Buchanan Jr. organizes free basketball camp (donates his entire NIL)

    Beyond impressive for such a young man especially in the me-first NIL era. Kudos Darren!

    The best programs in college basketball over the last 10 seasons, ranked by average KenPom finish

    Thanks. They were missing from the truncated graphic in the OP. The #40 ranking is still surprising given UConn's recent success. Shows the hole Hurley dug out of.

    The best programs in college basketball over the last 10 seasons, ranked by average KenPom finish

    How is UConn not on this list? I know it's a ten year sample, but there great success recently should be reflected here.

    Guess the rotation

    I think there is ZERO chance that a 4-year player in Pike's system like Davis plays only 5 min. per game. I also think Mark will get more minutes at the point sometimes with Francis at the 2.
