PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Rutgers is seven seasons and three coaches removed from their last 3-0 start.But dont expect first-year coach Steve Pikiell to pay it any mind.Were 2-0 and well start preparing on Tuesday for DePaul, Pikiell said. We go one game at a time. I dont care about that stuff.Nigel Johnson came off the bench to score 15 points and Deshawn Freeman added 13 more while grabbing 10 rebounds to lead Rutgers past Drexel 87-66 on Sunday.Bench production is a lot of the reason how you can either win or how you can either lose, Johnson said. Usually the team that has the better bench is going to come out on top.Jonathan Laurent also had 15 points for Rutgers (2-0), C.J. Gettys had 13 with nine rebounds and Candido Sa had 11 points.Rodney Williams led Drexel (0-2) with 24 points.The only lead for Drexel was 5-4 with 18:48 left in the first half when Kurk Lee made a 3-pointer assisted by Miles Overton. Gettys answered for Rutgers with a layup on the next possession.After a Kari Jonsson 3-pointer assisted by Miles Overton to pull Drexel within two with 4:24 left before the break, Rutgers went on a 13-0 run to close the half. Johnson lead the way with five points to give Rutgers a 41-28 lead.Eventually during the course of a game when your offense isnt where you need it to be, if the other time is not scoring, youre in great shape and they did a great job closing out that half, Pikiell said.Rutgers tk its largest lead of the game with 1:08 to play, when Corey Sanders hit a pair of free throws to make it 85-60.It is a process and every game is a learning moment. I told the guys that we need to be immune to the result, win or lose. Thats what consistent teams do. You cant get t high or t low, Drexel coach Zach Spiker said. But we certainly go back to campus with a clear plan of what we need to do to improve.Earlier, the Scarlet Knights opened the second half by stretching the lead to 18 when Deshawn Freeman got a three-point play after being fouled by Sammy Mojica on the layup, making it 44-26 with 194.Drexel pulled to within 13 after Rodney Williams hit a layup to make it 58-45 with 109 to go.BIG PICTURERutgers: Among the Scarlet Knights many struggles last year that resulted in a 7-25 campaign, 1-17 conference record and the firing of coach Eddie Jordan, was a short bench. Rutgers displayed that they have much more help off the bench this year. After playing nine players off the bench in the season opening 86-57 win against D-II Molloy, Pikiell played a steady 10-man rotation.Drexel: The Dragons appear to have found an impactful freshman guard in Lee. After 17 points, five rebounds and three assists in his collegiate debut, Lee had 14 points, six assists and two steals.SHTING STRUGGLESAfter shting just 31.7 percent on 20-of-63 in a season-opening loss at Monmouth, Drexel improved their shting against Rutgers. Slightly. The Dragons shot 38.2 percent from the line on 26-of-68 shting.CLEANING THE GLASSRutgers dominated Drexel on the glass, outrebounding Drexel 56-29.I like those. Those are great numbers, Pikiell said, adding, Were emphasizing that and we got some big guys and they kind of went at it.UP NEXTRutgers will lk to go 3-0 for the first time since 2008-2009 when they travel to DePaul on Thursday.Drexel will try to get its first win of the season when they host Hartford on Friday.

The Queensland Reds have been torn to shreds by the Super Rugby title-hunting Chiefs, copping a demoralising 50-5 defeat at Suncorp Stadium.The Chiefs, the competitions leading New Zealand team, scored eight tries to one and pocketed a bonus point on Friday night as they enjoyed their biggest win over any team in Super Rugby - the ideal tune-up two weeks out from the finals.For the Reds it was an ugly reminder of how far off the pace they really are, as the Chiefs ruthlessly exposed their deficiencies and visiting players lined up to cash in on their mistakes.A crowd of 18,129 supporters were on hand, and most of them will be counting down the seconds until the arrival of 2017 recruits Stephen Mre, George Smith and potentially Quade Cper, who will hopefully help turn things around.It tk just 95 seconds for the Chiefs to begin the bldbath, with Seta Tamanivalu blowing through some weak tackles from Samu Kerevi, Curtis Browning and Nick Frisby for the first of his two tries.Their next was a try-of-the-season contender, finished off by Atu Moli but only after a mesmerising chain of offloads that rendered the Queensland defence helpless - moments after Frisby had botched a kick for touch, turning over possession.The Reds thought theyd stemmed the damage on 21 minutes when Chris Kuridrani scored to make it 14-5, but yellow cards to Frisby and rkie fullback Jack Tuttle within two minutes of each other reducced them to 13 men, and the Chiefs pounced.ddddddddddddrisby kicked the ball out of the hands of Chiefs flanker Lachlan Boshier as he bore down under the posts in the 29th minute, which was deemed foul play and triggered a penalty try, while Tuttles inexperience showed when he attempted a kick and chase, but clumsily tk out Tawera Kerr-Barlow as he was collecting the ball and was sent to the bin.Taking full advantage, the Chiefs ran in tries through Sam Cane and Tamanivalu to make it 33-5 at the break before Nathan Harris and a second-half double from Damian McKenzie piled on more hurt in the second half.McKenzie finished with 20 points to his name, converting four tries.To make matters worse for the Reds, they also lost their captain, James Slipper, who went off with what appeared to be a chest injury in the first half, while Greg Holmes (neck) and Anthony Faingaa (back) were late withdrawals.While Reds interim co-coach Matt OConnor rued Queenslands errors, he admitted his side were simply blown away by an elite team.Its relative to how gd they are. Theyre the best (team) weve played, OConnor said.The intensity that they played at in the first half was hard to match, and then they got on a roll and we went down to 13 blokes and it was always going to be hard from that point on.
