Rutgers finishes the season with a 7-25 record, their fewest wins in 28 seasons.
Rutgers had a golden opportunity in the first half to build a solid lead and assert control of this game. And they literally threw it away, to the tune of 11 turnovers before halftime, leading to 16 points for Nebraska. Several passes were thrown directly into the hands of Nebraska defenders, it was that sloppy. Despite shooting 48% from the field and holding a 19-18 edge on the boards, Rutgers trailed 37-33 at the half. Ibrahima Diallo missed a layup and Mike Williams grabbed the rebound but missed the tip in at the buzzer, a perfect ending to a frustrating half of basketball.
