Of course we've already talked about Vince being unavailable to help us break the press, and the bigs getting in foul trouble because the refs decided to call 50 fouls. But the most clear example I can give you that the game was anomalous was this:
Rutgers entered the game as a terrible free throw shooting team. In their last 3 games, they had made just 25 of 57 free throws (43.8%). Against us last night, they made 28-34 (82.4%). DJ Foreman entered the game making just 14-40 free throws on the year (35%). He was 5-5 last night.
Another purely anecdotal note:
Dakota Mathias had missed just one free throw all year when he missed the front end of a 1 and 1 and both ends of a 2 shot trip during Rutgers second half run.
