There are going to be few easy road wins in the Big East this year. Rutgers was extremely gutty tonight as was South Florida the other day against us, and the win today is going to be a confidence builder for RU. They are always tough at the RAC. Depaul is probably the only team that you might assume is a sure road win.
The Huskies need to protect their home court and try to pick off road games one at a time. They continue to struggle to stop the 3's and if they run into a hot shooting team on the road anything can happen. The perimeter D this year doesn't match last year in my opinion and needs to improve for this to be a special season. People say that the reason teams are burning us with threes is because the interior defense is so tough to penetrate which is true but you have to adjust to what is working for your opponents.
