Last Time Out
After completing a stunning upset over reigning A-10 Conference champions Saint Joseph's on Friday night, the Knights hosted FDU Florham on Monday evening and toppled the Devils, 102-61. In just the seventh instance of FDU reaching the century mark, five Knights reached double-digits. Matt MacDonald (Buffalo, N.Y./Canisius), Mustafaa Jones (Philadelphia, Pa./Neumann-Goretti), and Darian Anderson (Washington, D.C./St. John's College ) all shared a team-high 18 points and at least two steals apiece, all playing 28 minutes. Freshman guard Marques Townes (Edison, N.J./St. Joseph (Metuchen)) chipped in 14 points, five boards, two assists and no turnovers, while junior forward Xavier Harris (Philadelphia, Pa./Constitution) added 12 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks.

What You Need To Know: Second-year head coach Eddie Jordan has a somewhat new-look squad than the one that fell at the hands of the visiting Knights a year ago as several players have graduated or transferred and a new recruiting class has come in. On Sunday night, the Scarlet Knights, a mix of freshmen, transfers, and returning players, fell at home to George Washington, 70-53. Rutgers was without standout forward Kadeem Jack for the opener and may be without him again in midweek.
