After yesterday’s loss to Indiana, Rutgers is mired in a seven game losing streak and are now the only conference team without a win in Big Ten play. It’s easy to read that sentence or look at recent scores and think, same old Rutgers. However, if you have been watching this team, it’s been pretty clear that is not true. The struggles on offense have been very frustrating to watch, but the effort and success this team has had on the defensive end and with rebounding, has been nothing short of impressive.
After 19 games, Rutgers has a defensive adjusted efficiency ranking of 61st out of 351 Division I teams, according to KenPom.
