It was a sold out RAC on Tuesday night with no. 7 Michigan in town and all the elements were there for another classic on the banks. Instead, the Wolverines got off to an incredibly hot start and Rutgers was slow to match their offensive efficiency and defensive intensity. To their credit, the Scarlet Knights fought hard the rest of the way and cut the lead to single digits with less than two minutes to play. However, the early hole was too much to overcome as Rutgers lost to Michigan by the final score of 77-65.
First Half Summary
It was a disastrous start for Rutgers, as Michigan was perfect on offense in the first five minutes of the game.
