This was another winnable game at the RAC that saw Rutgers falter down the stretch due to a lack of scorers. Everyone went quiet for stretches in the second half and Northwestern wore Rutgers down on the boards, something that was a bit unexpected. While Rutgers came out ready to play and held Northwestern to just 3 points in the first 7 minutes of the game, they failed to take advantage on offense yet again. They couldn’t hold their 3 point lead from halftime and Northwestern controlled the entire second frame. Rutgers never quit and kept the score respectable, but this game was sadly over well before the final buzzer sounded, as the Wildcats won 69-60.
