The defense for the Wildcats has actually been overall decent. They only allow 64.8 points per game, which ranks them at 34th in the country. However, in conference game they are allowing 71.2 points per game. Their best defensive stat is their ability to shut down the three point shot. Opponents are shooting 28.7% from deep range, which is 16th in the country. The key for the Wildcats will be holding the Scarlet Knights below 70 points. This is something they should be able to do given that the Rutgers offense has not been good this season.
Rutgers Scarlet Knights
Rutgers have also struggled this season sitting at 1-5 in Big Ten play. A win against another struggling team is exactly what they need if they are going to turn their season around.
The Scarlet Knights have not been good at all this season when it comes to their offensive efficiency. They are scoring 67.5 points per game, which is 306th in the country.
