On the bright side for the Scarlet Knights, they once again had their way inside on the Terrapins for most of the evening, outrebounding the home team 40-39 overall (including 22-12 on the offensive glass), holding a 32-28 advantage in points-in-the-paint and maintaining a 19-11 edge in second-chance points. "We tried to throw it in, (convert) that post stuff but you have to make your free throws, too,'' Pikiell said. "It’s a double-edged sword if you’re not converting free throws. You can go inside all you want but you have to take advantage of the freebies.’’
Corey Sanders had a team-high 15 points for Rutgers (12-9, 1-7 Big Ten), but shot just 5-for-19 from the floor and committed four turnovers in 36 minutes of action as No.
