R. Revisiting the last Illinois vs. Rutgers game

Michael Finke scored 19 points against Rutgers last year

Illinois beat Rutgers handily the last time they played back in February 2018. The score was 75-62 at the RAC. In that game, Michael Finke and Aaron Jordan exploded off of the bench, combining for 34 points.

Rutgers shot 3-of-14 from the three-point line and missed 10 free throws in the game. Illinois played decently well, but it was more Rutgers missing shots and turning the ball over than it was Illinois dominating the way the score indicates.
