Rutgers men’s basketball (17-10, 9-7 Big Ten) will face Michigan (15-12, 9-7 Big Ten) on Thursday night with the Scarlet Knights looking to win their second straight game. After a rough three-game stretch that included losses to Indiana, Illinois, and Nebraska, Rutgers was able to get back into the win column on Saturday. However, they will be facing a talented Michigan team.
While the 2022-2023 campaign has been full of ups and down for the Wolverines, they are averaging 73.5 points per game. Rutgers defense will be tested without one of its best players in this matchup.
If the Scarlet Knights can limit the Wolverines opportunities, then their success at home will continue. For Michigan, the key will be to apply pressure on every possession and force the Scarlet Knights to be perfect offensively.
