The experience of a loss against a Shaka Smart defense on road in November, just might be what keeps the Boilers from stubbing their toe on the road against similar former VCU defensive coach at Penn St in December.
@ Penn St is definitely winnable, but will not be cakewalk as they look improved. Hopefully @ Marquette will pay off in that one.
If, big IF, this team wins B1G it will be because they scheduled tough, took some early hard lessons, and had most of kinks worked out when B1G play hits.
Rutgers!
You know Rutgers & Penn State will try it. Baldwin good enough to execute. Can Rutgers coach get their guys to buy into the D needed? Coach certainly good enough. New R kids D will?
But I wouldn't stop there. It's coming from more than those two. A matter of do they have the personnel to execute that type of D will be the difference.
In any case, Purdue will get a heavy dose this whole year.
