Tariq Francis - College Basketball News & Rumors

Leading scorer for Scarlet Knights Francis supplied 20 points (6-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 81-53 win over Rider.

Impact Francis canned four triples in his high-major debut in Piscataway. The NJIT transfer was a walking bucket last season as a sophomore, but questions remained about how that production would translate to the Big Ten. It's a long season, and conference play is a ways away still, but the early returns on Francis are excellent.

Big scorer lands in portal Francis is in the transfer portal, VerbalCommits.com reports.

Impact Francis is a big addition to the portal after a sophomore season at NJIT that saw him put up 19.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.6 three-pointers per contest. Francis will certainly get a lot of looks from power conference teams after putting up those numbers, but he likely will need to work on improving his off-ball game, as his usage rate will not be as high as it was this past season.
