The Rutgers men’s basketball heads home after an eventful two game road trip in the state of Illinois. After producing its best offensive performance of the season that still resulted in a stomach punch overtime loss against the Illini last Saturday, Rutgers scratched and clawed its way to victory against one of the best defensive teams in the Big Ten in Northwestern on Wednesday night. As they now prepare to host no. 21/17 Iowa (19-5; 8-5) on Saturday night (6 p.m.) in front of a sold out crowd at the RAC, here are some facts to chew on:
- Rutgers won just its third road game in Big Ten play since joining the league five seasons ago, but is now 2-5 this season.
