After a daunting Big Ten schedule and months of speculation, it is now official. The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are back in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 30 years.
Rutgers missed out on a postseason opportunity a season ago when the season was cut short due to the pandemic. They will have a chance here as they enter the tournament as a 10-seed. The Scarlet Knights will face seventh-seeded Clemson on Friday.
The Scarlet Knights will have a good matchup in Clemson. If they were to move on, second-seeded Houston could be their next opponent.
