On a night Rutgers needed to extend its undefeated home record on the season in order to keep pace with the top half of the Big Ten, they fell short once again against Michigan, who are now 13-0 all-time against the Scarlet Knights. Without star Isaiah Livers and struggling from three-point range, the Wolverines delivered a strong defensive performance that shut down the RU offense in the second half. It was a disappointing night in front of a another sellout crowd, as Rutgers (18-9; 9-7) lost to Michigan (17-9; 8-7) for the second time this season, this time by the final score of 60-52.
