Game Preview

Here we go, as Rutgers has a tremendous opportunity to finally get a conference win and end two awful losing streaks. First the 32 game conference losing streak and second a program record 17 straight losses. A win against a severely depleted Minnesota team would also mean avoiding the dreaded winless Big Ten season. On top of all this, it's senior day for Jalen Hyde, Bishop Daniels, Omari Grier, and Greg Lewis. On paper, Rutgers should win this game, regardless of what Vegas thinks. There are no excuses today, Rutgers must get it done. Join us in the comments during the game and let's go RU!
