It may be national signing day for college football, but we have a live one at the RAC tonight for basketball. Rutgers has a legitimate chance to end their 24 game Big Ten conference losing streak. Both teams have seen their frontcourts ravaged by injuries. Both teams struggle to rebound and defend. Although Illinois is favored by a touchdown, Rutgers has a great shot if they play as a team tonight. Plus, there will be some extra juice at the RAC tonight:
Lots of #RACtion tonight:
