With one game remaining in the regular season, Rutgers men’s basketball is currently alone in sixth place in the Big Ten standings. A No. 6 seed would be the highest for the program since joining the league but the possibility to finish even higher remains. With losses by Michigan and Michigan State on Thursday night, the Scarlet Knights cannot finish worse than sixth with is still being possible to earn a double bye as the No. 4 seed in the Big Ten Tournament.
The good news for Rutgers is that based on owning wins against every team from 1st to 10th place, they are in favorable position when it comes to tiebreakers.
