Game Preview

Rutgers has the pleasure of taking on both Big Ten teams at the top of the standings in the same week and both away from the RAC. After a tough loss this past Tuesday at Maryland, Rutgers takes part in B1G Super Saturday at Madison Square Garden against Wisconsin. It counts as a home game for the Scarlet Knights, who would prefer to play at the RAC for obvious reasons. Regardless, today is an opportunity for this team to continue to move forward on the court this season.

Wisconsin is loaded and I covered them in depth in my preview. However, Pikiell cited earlier this week that Rutgers was only down 9 points with the ball with 8 minutes to play at Wisconsin earlier this season. This team is playing with more confidence and I expect them to come out today and put forth a positive showing. Hopefully, the Rutgers faithful will show up in strong numbers for this contest. It is the 100th game for Rutgers at this Madison Square Garden.
