Rutgers basketball closes out their Big Ten regular season against Ohio State

Rutgers basketball faces a big game on Sunday.

On Sunday afternoon, Rutgers men’s basketball will be looking for revenge when they take on Ohio State. In the first matchup between these two teams this season in January, Ohio State recorded a 76-72. While Ohio State has a better record, they will play the role of the underdogs, according to ESPN.

Rutgers is 15-15 (7-12 Big Ten) and coming off consecutive Big Ten losses.

Entering this game, Bruce Thornton has been the Buckeyes’ best offensive player. The Alpharetta, Georgia native is averaging a team-high 16.2 points per game. Against Michigan State on February 3rd, Thornton added 17 points to his resume in 32 minutes of action.

 

As Ohio State looks to complete the season sweep, they will be tasked with stopping Jeremiah Williams. In 10 games this season, the talented junior is averaging 13.3 points per game. Against Wisconsin on Thursday, he scored 16 points and hauled in two rebounds.

When these two teams met in January, Ohio State pulled out a win partly due to its three-point shooting. Rutgers only shot 25 percent from beyond the arc, while Ohio State shot 45.8 percent. Having Williams in the lineup could help even those numbers out.

Additionally, Rutgers has been hard to beat at home this season where they have posted a 12-4 record at Jersey Mike’s Arena. On the road, Ohio State has gone 1-8. This game should provide plenty of entertaining moments, with both teams having plenty to prove.

Rutgers basketball got a needed win on Thursday night.

The three-game losing streak is over for Rutgers men’s basketball who rolled out to an impressive 82-52 win over Michigan on Thursday night. It was the second time in February that they beat the Wolverines.

As Rutgers got back in the win column, they were led by Clifford Omoruyi. The talented center scored 19 points and added 15 points to his resume. He also got some help from Jeremiah Williams, who had one of his best games of the season, scoring 19 points.

After struggling over the past week, Rutgers got back in the win column because of their ability to dominate close to the basket. They scored 48 points in the paint and only allowed 18. That allowed them to build an early lead they would not relinquish.

 

 

Michigan didn’t do much right in the game but there were a few bright spots for the Wolverines. That includes Dug McDaniel, who scored 13 points along with five rebounds and four assists.

Although this game ended in disappointing fashion for Rutgers, there were a few bright spots. That includes Jeremiah Williams, who scored 12 points and added three rebounds to his resume. He has scored at least 10 points five of Rutgers six games this month.

With only two games left this month, Rutgers will be looking to bounce back on February 25th when they take on Maryland. To beat the Terrapins, Rutgers must be much better at both ends of the court. Rutgers has already beaten Maryland once this month.
