Nebrasketball Game Preview: ‘Buttgers’ no more, Rutgers is really good
The Nebraska Cornhuskers have a tough one ahead as the Huskers head to Piscataway to take on the RV/RV Rutgers Scarlet Knights. In case you all have been sleeping under a rock this season, or really the past several, RU is an outstanding squad who currently holds a five-way tie for fifth place in the Big Ten standings following two-straight losses on the road this past week.
Those single-digit defeats came at then No. 18 Indiana and at Illinois. Rutgers also picked up a second-straight season of defeating then No. 1 Purdue thanks to a Jan. 2 65-64 win in West Lafayette earlier this season and a 70-68 victory over then No. 1 Purdue in Piscataway on Dec. 9, 2021 last season.
