It was night and day for Rutgers’ women’s basketball from Wednesday to Thursday.
In the first round of the Big Ten Tournament, 13th-seeded Rutgers scored 75 points, which was the most ever in a single game in this tournament. Against fifth-seeded Indiana, the Scarlet Knights were held to their lowest output in the Big Ten Tournament in a 66-54 loss.
Rutgers (11-20) shot just 36.5% from the field and 2-for-10 from three-point range. The first quarter was slow for both sides but Indiana was able to put it together toward the end sparked by a buzzer-beating three from Ali Patberg, who led the game with 19 points.
