Rutgers Scarlet Knights to Battle Boston University Terriers at Jersey Mike's Arena

As the Rutgers Scarlet Knights prepare to face off against the Boston University Terriers at Jersey Mike's Arena, fans are eager to see if the home team can bounce back from their recent performance. The upcoming game, scheduled for November 11th, promises an exciting clash in Piscataway.

In their last outing at CURE Insurance Arena against Princeton Tigers, the Scarlet Knights fell short with a final score of 61-68. Despite a solid effort in points in the paint where they scored 40 points and a perfect free throw percentage, their overall field goal percentage was just over 40 percent. The team showed resilience on defense with six blocks and seven steals but struggled from beyond the arc with only a 29 percent success rate on three-point attempts.

The Knights' assist-to-turnover ratio stood at an impressive 1.56, indicating good ball movement when it counted. However, they will need to improve on converting opportunities as they had nine turnovers which Princeton capitalized into ten points.

Rebounding was another area of contention where Rutgers managed to pull down 35 rebounds – just four shy of Princeton's total – but will need more consistency on both ends of the floor to dominate possession against Boston University.

Jersey Mike's Arena is known for its vibrant atmosphere which could provide an additional edge for Rutgers. With home-court advantage and fan support behind them, it’s crucial that they leverage this energy into improved shooting accuracy and defensive tenacity.

Looking ahead to game day, fans can expect Rutgers to focus on tightening up their three-point shooting while maintaining aggressive defense and efficient ball handling that has been characteristic of their play style this season.
