Well, tonight marks the long awaited return of Scottie Lindsey to the NU lineup. It will be interesting to see what kind of shape he's in. When Pardon was out earlier this season he had a hand injury, which meant he could run and work out with the team, he just couldn't shoot, etc. With Lindsey, he's been idling for the last four games, so expect him to be rusty. We will see how much playing time Collins gives him and how he looks.
I was looking at Rutgers numbers and was surprised to see that they rank third nationally in offensive rebounds per game (14.89) and fifth in rebounding (41.19). You'd figure a team with numbers like that would have a better won-lost record. But then you look at their offensive numbers and see why. They rank last in the Big Ten in scoring, field-goal percentage, 3-point field goal percentage and free throw percentage. If it has anything to do with putting the ball in the basket, they're bad at it.
