The Rutgers men’s basketball passed their “must can’t lose” test in resounding fashion on Saturday in a 93-65 victory over Nebraska. After trailing 11-6 less than five minutes into the game, the Scarlet Knights closed out the first half on a 38-20 run. They never looked back and cruised against a team that beat them by 22 points just over 10 months ago. It was their most efficient offensive performance against a Big Ten foe during the Steve Pikiell era and the second most efficient of his entire tenure.
For the third consecutive season, Rutgers has started Big Ten play with a 3-1 record.
