Scarlet Knights Housebreak the Bulldogs, 63-45

Rutgers R.smallutgers' Scarlet Knights forced 25 turnovers by the South Carolina State Bulldogs tonight and came away with their ninth victory of the year. Quincy Douby led the scoring with 14 points in the first half and 21 overall while Ollie Bailey scored 18 and had 9 rebounds.

RU held the Bulldogs to just 31.9% shooting from the field and just 45 points. This was the fourth time RU has held an opponent to less than 50 points and the fourth time they held an opponent to less than 32% shooting.

The Knights showed a little lack of focus shooting only 8 of 16 from the free through line, committing too many turnovers of their own, and allowing too many easy baskets on the transitions. This could have been caused by the three games in six days during the exam week.

(The full story and stats are here.)

Rutgers improves to 9-2. South Carolina State is now 2-6.

Next up for the Knights: Charlotte 49ers at the RAC on Thursday, Dec. 22 at 7:30 PM.
