Rutgers men’s basketball lost their Big Ten regular season finale.

On Sunday afternoon, Rutgers men’s basketball could not get much going offensively in their regular-season finale against Ohio State. After a strong start, Rutgers fell apart in the second half as Ohio State left New Jersey with a 73-51 win.

Rutgers finished the regular season 15-16 (7-13 Big Ten). They lost their last three games including six of their last seven.

Hyatt led the team in scoring with 11 points in 28 minutes of action. Omoruyi continued to make an impact on the board with a team-high seven rebounds.

 

 

In this matchup, Ohio State was able to build its lead partly due to its success from beyond the arc. The Buckeyes shot 45 percent from three-point range, while Rutgers shot 22.2 percent. They also had success close to the basket, outscoring Rutgers 28-20 in the paint.

Entering this game, Aundre Hyatt has started to heat up after a slow start to the month. In his last two games, Hyatt has scored at least 10 points. He has also gotten some help from Clifford Omoruyi, who has been a monster on the boards. In Rutgers wins over Wisconsin and Northwestern, he added 22 rebounds to his resume. 

While Minnesota will have their hands full with the talented duo, Rutgers will be tasked with stopping Dawson Garcia. The Minnesota junior is averaging a team-high 16.4 points per game. He has also made an impact on the boards, averaging 6.4 rebounds a game.

 

 

Although Rutgers has performed much better in conference play lately, they have struggled on the road. In eight games away from Jersey Mike’s Arena, they have posted a 3-5 record. This matchup is a perfect opportunity for them to conquer their road demons.

After a brief vacation, Rutgers men’s basketball is back in action on Tuesday night against Maryland

Hey, following what has been a difficult season, 1-0 February is a good thing.

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.

After a disappointing ending to January, Rutgers men’s basketball is back in action on Saturday. Rutgers will take on a Michigan team that has lost four straight and only won two conference games. This matchup represents a perfect chance for the Scarlet Knights to get back on track.

As Rutgers posted a 2-6 record in January, they struggled on the road. So far this season, they are 1-5 away from Jersey Mike’s Arena. To move up in the Big Ten standings, they must prove they can win in a hostile environment.

Additionally, Rutgers will need their stars, such as Clifford Omoruyi and Aundre Hyatt, to step up. Against Penn State on Wednesday, the talented duo scored a combined 13 points. When they are at their best, Rutgers offense is hard to stop.

 

While Rutgers has a better record, Michigan has plenty to prove. They are 1-9 in their last ten games and have allowed more than 90 points twice in that span. However, there have been a few bright spots.

The Wolverines have been led by Dug McDaniel, who is averaging 17.2 points and 5.1 assists per game. He has gotten some help from Oliver Nkamhoua, who is averaging 16 points a game.

Regardless of the outcome, this matchup should provide plenty of fireworks at a packed Crisler Center.
