How quickly things can change in a week. Last Saturday, Myles Johnson slammed home a dunk on an assist from Geo Baker, giving then no. 14 Rutgers a 54-47 lead over then no. 10 Iowa with 9:37 left in the game. A win would have put the Scarlet Knights right in the thick of the race towards the Big Ten title.
Fast forward to a week later and Rutgers is a team on the brink of a crisis.
The dramatic change in fate began in allowing Iowa, arguably the best offense in college basketball, to score 30 points in that final 9:37 of the game to escape the RAC with a 77-75 victory.
