Minnesota Basketball: Here comes Rutgers, three keys to beating the Scarlet Knights

Believe it or not, but Rutgers is 5-2 in the Big Ten. The Scarlet Knights just beat Iowa, holding the Hawkeyes to 46 points, and have won 6 of their last 7 games.

Rutgers

Mascot: Scarlet Knights
Record: 11-6
KenPom Rank: 90

Despite the really nice conference record and recent success, Rutgers is currently ranked 90th according to KenPom and are actually not favored to win this game at The Barn? Why? Partly because they really have not played very well on the road. And partly because their strength of schedule is very weak.

Regardless, they’ve notched wins over Iowa and Purdue.
