Losing is never the goal, but Rutgers made a statement in falling to Wisconsin 69-64 on Monday night. The Badgers came in having lost just 23 conference games at home in the past 17 years and already owned five KenPom top 100 wins this season. Rutgers has just 1 road win in four Big Ten seasons and lost at Wisconsin by 20+ in their previous two visits. Things were very differing this time around, as Rutgers gave the #12th ranked Badgers all they could handle at home. While the Scarlet Knights couldn’t maintain their stellar play from the first half the entire game, they made it clear to the Big Ten they are improved and will be a dogfight for every conference opponent they play this season.
