Game Preview
This Friday, December 23, the Rudget Scarlet Knights will welcome the Bucknell Bison to Jersey Mike’s Arena to face off in another exciting college basketball matchup. The game is scheduled for 5:00 PM EST.
Rutgers comes into this game coming off an 81-57 win over Wake Forest while the Bucknell Bison are coming off a loss to Richmond.
Rutgers put on quite a show on Saturday, crushing Wake Forest by nearly 30 points. The offense was led by Cam Spencer and his 15 points for the win, Clifford Omoruyi contributed 9 rebounds and Paul Mulcahy dished out 7 assists. It was a great game for Rutgers, they made almost 60% of their shots. If they keep this balance on both sides of the court I think they can win this game.
On the other hand, the Bucknell Bison come into this game after a dismal loss to Richmond, putting their record at 7-5. It was a disappointing game for their fans as they were dominated from start to finish, although they showed a better performance at the end. The offense was led by Xander Rice and his 19 points and Andre Screen supported with 9 rebounds. Bucknell is averaging 73 points per game, so this game could be a tough one.
Rutgers is coming off a blowout win and motivated to finish the week strong, but I honestly doubt they will repeat the poor performance Bucknell had. Rutgers is not a team that one would call “very offensive”, while Bucknell has a very good defense. Also, they haven’t faced any strong opponents this season, just the occasional bad division 1 team. If Bucknell goes back to playing like they used to, Rutgers won’t stand a chance.
