The Scarlet Faithful podcast covering all things Rutgers Athletics. Pronounced A-A-Ron. Once asked Greg Schiano about milk. Reckless per Rivals.

Adding Tariq Francis raises major questions with the offseason strategy for Rutgers men’s basketball, concerns with three smaller guards, the staff dynamic & why not having a GM is a problem.

After a historically bad defensive performance to clinch a losing regular season along with no President, AD, or GM, it’s same old Rutgers but it’s only getting worse. Long suffering fans know.

Rapid reaction to Rutgers' 95-85 win v USC in what was the team’s most efficient offensive performance of the season. After two disheartening defeats, RU has won two in a row. Next at Michigan.

My reaction to Rutgers' 66-63 loss to Michigan as a too many missed open shots wasted a strong defensive and rebounding effort. RU falls to 4-7 in B1G play and 11-11 overall.

My rapid reaction to Rutgers' 79-72 win at Northwestern. Ace Bailey was electric, Tyson Acuff & Jamichael Davis came up huge, team defense was improved as RU played inspired ball w/o Harper.

My rapid reaction to Rutgers' 80-72 loss at Penn State. Too many turnovers, poor three-point defense & lack of scoring from the supporting cast combined with a hurting Dylan Harper led to a disappointing defeat.

Rapid reaction to Rutgers' 75-68 win over UCLA. Ace Bailey gave a complete performance, Dylan Harper was close to his old self and the shortened rotation came through for Steve Pikiell.

Jeremiah Williams gave a captain worthy performance in the win over UCLA. Coming off the bench after losing his starting spot, he gave Rutgers that third scorer & playmaker they desperately need. He was more under control, attacked with purpose & was good defensively. A leader.

Ace Bailey gave his most complete performance for Rutgers in the win v. UCLA. 20 points on 7-13 FG, 5-5 FT line, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 assists & a steal. Was committed on the defensive end, played within the flow of the offense & was vocal with teammates down the stretch. Big!

Rutgers has to be really connected defensively tonight to have a chance vs. Purdue. They’ve been poor in handling screening actions this season. Painter’s offense utilizes them often. Whether switching properly or fighting through, help-side D has to be alert also. Big concern.
