Cliff Omoruyi is active for tonight’s game and that is good news for Rutgers. They are 6-0 with him and 1-4 without him. This is also the first time all season that the Scarlet Knights will have their top eight players on the roster available, as Caleb McConnell missed the first eight games. Its a good time as any for Rutgers, who look to end a three game losing streak against the always tough Wisconsin Badgers. Join us during the action!
