After a spirited first half performance, Rutgers fell apart as soon as the second half whistle blew.
This was tale of two halves, as Rutgers turned in the ultimate Jekyll and Hyde performance. Without a doubt, Rutgers played the best half of their Big Ten season tonight on the road against Ohio State. Playing their third game in a row with just seven scholarship players, they responded at the start in a big way after losing to Nebraska at home by 34 points. Corey Sanders set the tone, coming out firing and hitting his first three shots, all three-pointers, including a four point play after getting fouled, to give Rutgers a 14-11 lead six minutes into the game.
