PISCATAWAY — A matchup between Rutgers and Nebraska was always going to be ugly. Given the fact both teams thrive on defense and lack on offense, Wednesday night’s game was destined to become a rock fight, both sides clawing to score with the other right on their heels.
The winner would be the team who could out-tough the other, who could take the late punches and swing back with a final blow.
The game was as ugly as advertised. Between the teams there were 30 turnovers, 35 fouls and 75 missed shots — many of which were bunnies around the rim.
