Underperforming Rutgers and Seton Hall Set to Battle Despite Defensive Woes

Both teams have been underperforming recently. Rutgers has two consecutive defeats, while Seton Hall has lost three of their past four games. Rutgers has a robust defensive plan, however, their problem lies in not making shots with regularity. The Knights must face a Seton Hall team who put in a strong effort against Baylor for the first half. Although Seton Hall have lost to USC, Iowa and Baylor, their advantageous free throw shooting record gives them the upper hand in a close contest.
