Strong play....
Rutgers -1 over Princeton
Rutgers on the road can't rebound,shoot FT's and cannot win.Gave everyone the stats last week.Auburn destroyed them on the bds.Team has 4 gds and 2 role players at the post.No inside game what so ever unless Lamizana stays inside.But Lama-Lama-ding-dong has a magnet that takes him outside the paint.
Rutgers has really a lot of talent.Coleman is one of the top players in the BE.Unselfish,can shoot and penetrate.Shields and Sherrod are fast and athletic.Lama is the Michael Jackson of b-ball.At 6'10 is explosive on the break.Can shoot a 3,drive,etc.A great shot blocker.But he likes putting those blocked shots into row 10.Wright and Axani are 6'9 bodies with no offense.
Although they have only lost to NC and Auburn, Rutgers will win 90% of its home games and lose the opposite on the road.They do play agressive defense but teams with big front lines will cause problems.Rutgers has forced 124 TO's and 74 have been steals.
Princeton comes in with one of its weakest team in the past yr's.With Yale and Penn in front of them the Tigers will have to claw and fight to stay close to those two.But with there style of offense they always get balanced scoring and will win.Today everyone talks about the "Princeton offense".Think of all the coaches that have left there and have put it in there programs.
But it is a frustrating offense to defend.But when the shot clock came in it did helped the other teams somewhat.
Tigers have a balnced scoring attack.Everyone is envolved,everyone avg's 2 or 3 assits a game.Gloger,Venable,Robbins and Logan all avg in double figures.
Monmouth the other nite had them beaten.I'm sure everyone watched the ESPN hi-lites of Persia's 75 ft bank shot to win the game.Monmouth used a match-up zone that stymied their offense.They also just squeaked by FIU on OT.
But like a usual Pr. team everyone has roles.They have good jump shooters,everyone hits the bds, they pass,pass,cut,etc
But tonite they will be tested by a quicker Rutgers team that is much more athletic and can play against this motion offense.They beat them lyr by 8-10 pts at RU.Gloger leads them in 4 off. catogories.
If you include Lama-Lama as a gd your really have 4 gds playing defense vs them.And because of that there should be less backdoors opens.Gds are quicker to respond to backdoor cuts and if beaten can recover faster.
This is why I think Rutgers can get a road win.Matchups favor RU.Tigers have turned the ball over a lot this yr.Tonite they see a pressure defense that is quicker.RU thrives on TO's.Walters has done an excellant job teaching defense.
RU wins this battle of Route 1 by 6-10 pts.
I will post this and finish the other few games..
