Looking at the batting averages and RISP totals of both teams starting lineups and their night/day. Rutgers has a deep lineup regardless of how UConn’s compares

Huge game for Quigs to salvage at least a win. Offense still a massive concern. Two big mid week games before conference season kicks off.

At large is off the table. Focus needs to be to get to Big East tournament and hopefully peek then.

You said it…BE Tourney is the focus the rest of the season. Speaking as a fan, b/c I agree an at-large seems unlikely, the tourney is all that matters now. For the team, they can’t worry about that, just try n win each game. A midweek series sweep could possible matter come late May but winning the BE tourney seems the only way in as of now.

I predict they will find a groove soon. Home field advantage in the league won’t disappear. Gotta play clean baseball.
