NEW YORK -- The home team in the first Big Ten Tournament in Madison Square Garden will play at least one more game.
Corey Sanders scored 23 points and last-place Rutgers won a Big Ten Tournament game for the second straight season, beating Minnesota 65-54 on Wednesday night.
The 14th seed Scarlet Knights (14-18) play sixth-seeded Indiana on Thursday night. Rutgers upset Ohio State as the 14th seed in last year's Big Ten Tournament.
"That 14 doesn't represent the team that we are," said Sanders, the team's best player and a junior who could leave early for the NBA.
