Make no mistake, Rutgers’ offense failed itself again.
Many will look only at the box score and see the fact that Rutgers gave up 76 points and Indiana shot 47% and say “Same Old Rutgers.” That’s not true. Yes, Rutgers can’t seem to find a win and they haven’t won on the road in the Big Ten yet, but they battled Indiana, diving on the floor for balls, hustling on defense and pulling down rebounds. There is a lot to like about the brand new Scarlet Knights.
Offense is not part of that so far.
Rutgers shot well—44%—from the field, but turnovers and free throws destroyed any momentum they had.
