It’s been a great past week for Micah Shrewsberry and the Penn State hoops program, winning back-to-back Big Ten games including one at home over Indiana and a come-from-behind road win at Northwestern, and giving a top five Purdue team all it could handle.

That being said, this is a Rutgers team that as of late, as started to look like the Rutgers team that most pundits pegged as a middle-of-the-conference-pack and NCAA Tournament-worthy one.
