Indiana will look for its first road win of the season on Wednesday as the Hoosiers travel to Piscataway to take on Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights are 12-4 overall, 3-2 in the Big Ten and are unbeaten at home (11-0).
Wednesday’s game will tip at 7 p.m. ET on BTN:
For the first time since joining the Big Ten back in the 2014-2015 season, Rutgers is relevant in men’s basketball.
Steve Pikiell, now in his fourth season in Piscataway, has built a defense-first culture that is translating into wins. Pikiell, who build a consistent winner at Stony Brook in the America East before taking the Rutgers job in the spring of 2016, had a top 50 defense nationally the last two seasons, but has taken it up a notch in year four.
