Indiana suffered its first loss of the season at Rutgers 63-48 on Saturday at Jersey Mike’s Arena.
Here are five takeaways from the loss to the Scarlet Knights:
Rutgers has IU’s number
Beating the Scarlet Knights has been a challenge for Indiana over the years. Entering Saturday’s matchup, Indiana was 1-7 against Rutgers over the last eight matchups. And it’s been even harder for Indiana to beat Rutgers in Piscataway. The Hoosiers haven’t left Jersey Mike’s Arena with a win since February 2018.
It can be difficult to grasp that statistic. For most of Rutgers’ history as a program, it has served as a punching bag.
