Game Preview

Win tonight and the stretch run of this season will get very interesting, as the bottom half of the Big Ten is wide open. Rutgers has a chance in every game remaining and finishing the regular season with a .500 record would certainly be in play. The Scaret Knights are 3-5 at the RAC in Big Ten play, while Minnesota is just 1-6 on the road in conference play. Here we go!
