Tariq Francis and Jamichael Davis opened the season with efficient offensive performances while Dylan Grant was solid inside as Rutgers defeated the Broncs. The Scarlet Knights shot well from three and held Rider to just 28% shooting. However, a poor shooting night overall and no offensive output inside raises concerns as to whether Rutgers is built to win in Big Ten play.

A full 2025-2026 season preview includes thoughts on Steve Pikiell's defensive attitude after three disappointing campaigns in a row, the many questions that exist for this team, the biggest key being Harun Zrno, the low expectations and many things that must go right to have a winning season, the importance of generating positive momentum and being a likeable team as well as the hope that having its back against the wall leads to positive results for this program once again.#rutgersbasketball

The Scarlet Knights continue to make the same mistakes and allow big play after big play. The defensive coaching staff has failed miserably and it's on Schiano to fix it.
