The Michigan Wolverines men’s basketball team concluded the month of February with one of their ugliest losses of the season, falling on the road to Rutgers, 82-52. Rutgers is toward the bottom of the conference standings with a 6-10 Big Ten record and a 14-13 overall record entering this game. Rutgers won the first matchup in Ann Arbor by double digits, and it’s possible these two teams will face a third time in the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament.
After playing a good Purdue team relatively close, the Wolverines struggled on both ends in this one, getting blown out in Piscataway by a mediocre Rutgers team.
