The Rutgers men’s basketball team entered the Big Ten opener winless away from the RAC this season and were handed the unenviable task of playing at conference favorite Michigan State on Sunday. They didn’t look up for the challenge in the first few minutes of the game, but ended up showing plenty of fight and even led near the end of the first half. After back and forth much of the second half, including a one point game midway through, Rutgers predictably fell short down the stretch. Michigan State was able to convert near the rim and from the free throw line, winning the game by the final score of 77-65.
