This season, Rutgers is averaging just 9.4 points in transition and 2-2 when scoring double digits. Those opportunities are categorized as the first ten seconds of a possession, whether it’s off a rebound, a steal or a shot made by the opponent. It starts with a lack of transition game. They aren’t shooting well overall this season, but a big part of it is shot selection and an inability to attack the rim. The Scarlet Knights aren’t getting enough easy baskets. While the effort was disturbingly lacking on both ends of the floor, shooting remained poor and closing out on shooters remained a problem, one issue that stuck out as a season long trend that is developing. The other was to the Boilermakers in the 2018-2019 season. The embarrassing blowout to the Illini tied for the largest margin of defeat in Steve Pikiell’s six seasons on the banks. Rutgers is coming off a 35 point loss in the Big Ten opener against Illinois and are now preparing to host No.
