Betting line: Spartans by 2½.
Game notes: The Scarlet Knights are, in many ways, a mirror of the Spartans, winning this season despite not having a standout scorer. Cam Spencer leads the roster at 13.9 points a game, and Clifford Omoruyi isn’t far behind at 13.2. After them, though, come five Rutgers platers averaging between 6.7 and 9.8 points a game. Omoruyi is also averaging 10.2 boards a game to lead a squad that ranks fifth in the Big Ten at 38.
