Rutgers Scarlet Knights
Rutgers had a strong start to the season with a 2-2 record, but have since had their five-game winning streak snapped. They are currently ranked 56th in power rankings, and are 3-4 ATS. Offensively, they are struggling with low percentages across the board and are ranked 275th in field goal percentage, 306th in free throw percentage, and 309th in three pointer percentage. Defensively, they are one of the top teams in the nation with a second rank in field goal percentage and a 46th rank in free throw percentage. They also average 8.00 defensive assists and 17.33 turnovers per game. In philosophy, basketball revolves around putting the ball in the hoop and with Rutgers' struggles in offense, they could be a powerhouse with an improved offense.
