Rutgers heads to Coral Gables in the first game of a very difficult schedule over the next six days. After facing the Miami basketball team the Scarlet Knights play Michigan State on Friday night and Wisconsin on Monday.
Miami returns home after winning two of their three games out West. The Hurricanes blew out LaSalle in the opener of the Wooden Legacy on Thanksgiving Day. They split a pair of close games with Fresno State on Friday in the Semifinals and lost to Seton Hall, Rutgers Garden State rival, in the Championship game late Sunday night.
Miami needed a spectacular Zach Johnson putback dunk with less than a second remaining to defeat Fresno State.
