Terrance made 8 in one game this year. Plummer made 8 in one game last year. Coleman made 6 in one game IIRC. Agreed that this is not without missing. So yeah, 7 for 7 is an extreme example, but I am not saying RJ needs to go 7 for 7. Just trying to illustrate that he is a couple of exceptional games away from an acceptable 3pt percentage. If he shoots his next 15 3s as well as he shot his 15 last year, he will be just shy of 30% on the season (29.7%).

Lol we should win this game at home.

I just expect that points will be hard to come by and I think Coleman presents the biggest matchup problem for Rutgers, particularly when he and Dain are on the floor together (which, to be fair, this could be said about most games) . So if he's able to pick up some of the scoring, say 10+ points, I think it will have a bigger than usual impact on the game.

I don't think he's our Obi-Wan though. There are multiple ways we can win this one.

Perrin could help, but I have no idea what the odds are that he does. I know he is very tall. He might be our lottery ticket.
If he could give us 7-8 minutes of solid defense & rebounding, it would be huge.
Goode is also coming back. He won’t dominate down low, but he will be able to lengthen our rotation & help keep everyone fresh. Might allow us to use more full court pressure defense too.

Rutgers , like us, are not elite shooters, I think keeping them out of the paint is going to be key.
