What a win!
For a third straight year, Rutgers won its final road game of the season to boost its NCAA Tournament resume. Wednesday night’s victory over Indiana was a battle of two true bubble teams and the experience of Steve Pikiell’s team was the difference in the outcome. There were many big spots and moments in the game that Rutgers had to come through in to win and did. Many times. Let’s review.
The first big spot was right after the first media timeout of the game with Indiana leading 12-6. Race Thompson scored right after and all of a sudden the Hoosiers were on a 13-2 run and led by 8 points just over five minutes into the game.
