Rutgers men’s basketball will face Purdue (26-5, 15-5 Big Ten) in the quarterfinal of the Big Ten Tournament on Friday. Rutgers got here by beating Michigan in dominating fashion in the tournament’s second round.
In the second half Rutgers outscored the Wolverines by 15 as Cam Spencer and Derek Simpson scored 23 of their combined 31 points. However, coming off a big win they will be facing a talented Purdue team.
On Sunday, Purdue became the first Big Ten team since 2014 to win the league title by three or more games. Coming off of that win, they have unfinished business against the Scarlet Knights, who they lost to earlier this season. The Boilermakers will need a big game from Zach Edey as they look to advance beyond the Quarterfinal of the Big Ten tournament.
