The first game of 2021 for the Rutgers men’s basketball team is one of the most anticipated contests this century. The no. 10 Iowa Hawkeyes are 8-2 overall and 2-1 in the Big Ten ahead of visiting the RAC at 2 p.m. ET on Saturday. The Scarlet Knights enter this matchup at 7-1 overall, 3-1 in conference play and with plenty of injury issues, most notably leading scored Ron Harper Jr. These two teams have had some great battles over the past few seasons and Saturday should be no different, even if Rutgers finds itself short handed once again.
