The Good – RU head coach Steve Pikiell proved tonight yet again he could make halftime adjustments. Although the only adjustment he made was to have Candido Sa start the half over CJ Gettys, it still seemed to prove to be the right move as he helped lead the team on a 7-0 run to start the half. Also, the bench mob was at it yet again as they helped the team with 26 points on the night.

The Bad – The Scarlet Knights started out bad and that’s putting it nicely. Key players Corey Sanders and Deshawn Freeman went into halftime shooting a combined 1-11 from the field. Luckily it would only get better from there on as they started the half on a 7-0 run to take the lead and never looked back. The Scarlet Knights can’t afford for that to happen in the future, as the schedule only gets tougher from here on out.

Up Next: The Scarlet Knights are set to welcome the (1-4) Hartford Hawks to Piscataway this upcoming Friday at 1 p.m. EST as they will look to keep their undefeated streak alive.
