There are must-win games and can’t lose games.
On Tuesday night, Rutgers returned to Jersey Mike’s Arena after a two-game road trip to face lowly Nebraska. On the eve of Valentine’s Day, the Scarlet Knights turned in a performance that fans in the building did not fall in love with.
Rutgers dropped its third consecutive game, a 82-72 loss to the Cornhuskers. The Scarlet Knights logged one of their worst defensive performances of the season as Nebraska shot 58.2% from the field.
Rutgers fell behind in the first half as the Huskers shot 65% and took a five-point lead during the break.
