Meanwhile, after soaring to 140 points the game before, Bryant faltered in their matchup on Sunday. They fell 66-57 to the Scarlet Knights. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Bryant in their matchups with Rutgers: they’ve now lost three in a row.
Despite their loss, Bryant saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Rafael Pinzon, who earned 17 points along with 4 steals, was perhaps the best of all. The team also got some help courtesy of Connor Withers, who earned 11 points.
The Terriers bumped their record down to 0-3 with that defeat, which was their third straight on the road. That poor showing could be blamed on the team’s lackluster offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 52.0 points per game. As for the Bulldogs, they now have a losing record at 1-2.
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Boston U. have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 32.7 rebounds per game. However, it’s not like Bryant struggles in that department as they’ve been even better at 44.3 per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
