The worst performance of the season, a 23 point shellacking at the hands of Michigan State, was alarming for several reasons.
Rutgers shot an abysmal 31% from the field, was just 3 of 12 from three-point range and once again struggled from the foul line, making just 6 of 17 for 35%. Overall, it was by far the worst shooting performance of the season.
They forced Michigan State into 18 turnovers, a high number, but failed to take advantage, as they only scored 19 points off of them.
While the defense was really good for stretches, particularly in the first half, it was non-existent late in the game and MSU finished up shooting 47%, including 43% from three.
