IU just ended RU’s season in basketball. The two vaunted rivals met earlier this afternoon during the second round of the 2022 Big Ten Tournament. 5-seed Indiana’s victory over 13-seed Rutgers tied the all-time series between the schools at 6 games apiece, and sent IU to the Conference Quarterfinals for the 7th straight season.
Indiana did not have a great scout out on Rutgers, as the teams’ only scheduled meeting this season was postponed, but it didn’t really matter. This was a pretty routine game for the Hoosiers. Great defense (10 steals), Great shooting (40% from 3), and control of the pace of play throughout were the keys for the Cream and Crimson.
