Rutgers and Michigan finally got a chance to play the game that never was.
In 2020, both teams were pulled off the court in the same matchup during the Big Ten Tournament as sports around the nation began to shut down due to the pandemic. On Thursday, the two got a chance to meet in the 8-9 matchup once again.
It might have been ugly but Rutgers may have gotten the win it needed.
Entering the tournament, both Rutgers and Michigan needed a victory to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive. The Scarlet Knights used a big second half to secure a 62-50 victory over Michigan in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament at the United Center in Chicago.
