Ouch! Corey Sanders is suspended for two weeks and will miss his third consecutive game tonight. Deshawn Freeman, Shaq Doorson, and Ibrahima Diallo have all been declared out for the season. Now Lewis is out, leaving Rutgers with just six active scholarship players for tonight's game.

Game Preview

Rutgers, winless in its last 29 Big Ten games, takes on Minnesota in a battle for last place in the conference.  A Minnesota win all but assures the fact that Rutgers will finish in last place in consecutive seasons.  However, a win and Rutgers immediately vaults to 13th place with a rematch against the Gophers on Senior Night in the last game of the season.  It will take a total team effort tonight, let's hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
