Rutgers Women, first report
Rutgers women's basketball team is 8-1, ranked No. 11 in the AP poll. Their first loss came last night to No. 9 Miami, in double-overtime, after blowing a 16 point second half lead. A game they probably would've won in regulation had it been played at Rutgers Athletic Center with Big East refs & not in Florida. They proved they deserve a top 25 ranking.
The difference between this year & last year's disappointing team is more experience, a bench of talented Freshmen, & multiple scoring threats. Always known for Coach Stringer's defense, Rutgers had lagged behind in a women's game that more frequently requires 70 points to win. A week from today they have a home game against No. 7 Tennessee, THE game (UConn doesn't come to the RAC this season). Two elite coaches, Pat Summitt's teams usually get the better of Stringer's. We shall see.
