Rutgers was back at the RAC on Saturday in a must win game against Illinois to keep its NCAA Tournament chances alive. Illinois was without its best player, Ayo Dosunmu, who hurt his knee in the last game. It was obviously a blow for the Illini, but similar to what Rutgers dealt with in the first meeting as Geo Baker missed it due to injury as well. It was a nip and tuck affair until midway through the second half when Rutgers dominated on both ends of the floor. They ended the game on a 29-15 run and defeated no.
