Put a lid on the opponents basket.Without shooters Rutgers has very limited offensive options.

Our big guys are awful. We need a better front court and we probably win 4-5 more games this year.

Free throws , free throws, free throws !!

Seriously though with all the offensive warts that we have. We win tonight's game and a few others if we're even just an average FT shooting team !!

Obviously, it comes down to recruiting better players. These guys play hard almost all the time, so I don't question effort and heart. We need a point guard who can do a better job of breaking down defenses and creating open shots for others. That being said, a reliable outside shooter or two would be nice. And everybody needs to be able to hit free throws. Being the worst team in the league from the line where you have uncontested shots [free!] and hitting 55% is not helping matters one bit. Might have at least 2 more wins with 70% FT shooting.

Recruit guys that can shoot and play smart basketball. Just don't have them now and maybe next season as well.
