After a brief vacation, Rutgers men’s basketball is back in action on Tuesday night against Maryland. The Scarlet Knights are 1-0 in February, with their only win coming against Michigan.
Hey, following what has been a difficult season, 1-0 February is a good thing.
Tuesday represents an excellent opportunity for them to improve their Big Ten record.
To win on the road, Rutgers will need Aundre Hyatt and Clifford Omoruyi to have big games. Hyatt, in particular, will need to step up after only scoring four points against Michigan. Omoruyi fared much better as he added 15 points to his resume.

While Rutgers will look to build on their success, they have a challenging task ahead. The Terrapins are 10-2 at the XFINITY Center and are much better at home. That will make it hard for them to stop, as Rutgers has struggled on the road.
Regardless of the outcome, this game should be full of fireworks. Conference wins are at a premium and both teams have plenty to prove.
