Big Ten programs have completed their December conference games and five programs are currently 2-0 in league play.
Here’s our updated look at how the league stands as we approach the end of the calendar year:
18. Rutgers (5-6, 0-2)
Preseason ranking: 18
At No. 143 in the KenPom ratings and 0-2 in Big Ten play, Rutgers is the worst team in the league right now by a fair margin.
The Scarlet Knights rank just 284th nationally in defensive rebounding percentage and are shooting 44.4 percent on 2s, which is 339th in the country.
