Kadeem Jack returns for Rutgers after he missed their loss so FDU. Rutgers got much needed rest after playing eight games in 18 days, closing it out with 3-in-4. It is a sandwich game for GW fresh off a tough tournament playing Miami, Marquette, and Creighton. This will be their fourth game in seven days and they have a big look ahead on the 8th against Maryland. They will look to simply escape.

Rutgers coach Eddie Jordan claims to have made some big adjustments, especially on defense. The time off has allowed him to insert such changes, plus it gives him the element of surprise. Plus when teams are struggling change for the sake of change usually has a short-term boost.
