Rutgers looking to get back on track versus Seton Hall

Rutgers basketball faces Seton Hall this weekend.

After losing their first road game of the season on Wednesday, Rutgers basketball is looking for redemption on Saturday night. The Scarlet Knights are set to face Seton Hall as the Big Ten program looks to end their two-game losing streak.

Entering this matchup, Rutgers will need to be a lot better defensively. In their last two losses to Wake Forest and Illinois, they allowed 152 points. They have not scored more than 58 points in a game during that span. On Saturday night, things will not get any easier as Seton Hall is undefeated at home.

As Rutgers looks to end the Pirates undefeated run, Clifford Omoruyi is one player to watch. He has been a rebound machine this season but only scored 11 points in his last two games. Getting him back on track will be essential for the Scarlet Knights offense.

 

Additionally, Rutgers will be tasked with containing Kadary Richmond. The Brooklyn native is averaging 15.1 points per game for the Pirates while shooting 50 percent from the field. In Seton Hall’s last game against Baylor, he scored 18 points.

While the Pirates are favored in this game, Rutgers is hungry for a win. Saturday represents a perfect opportunity for the Scarlet Knights to conquer their road demons and record their first win of December.
