Surprise! The Rutgers men’s basketball team is one of the best in the Big Ten this season.
After going 16-76 in conference play in their first five years, the Scarlet Knights sit in second place in the league at 4-2 and 13-4 overall.
Rutgers is a program-first 12-0 at home heading into Sunday’s game against Minnesota (10-7, 4-3) at The RAC in Piscataway, N.J. The Gophers, meanwhile, are 0-5 in the road this season.
Minnesota has laid duds, primarily the 72-52 loss at Iowa on Dec. 9, but also had encouraging performances, including the 83-78 double-overtime defeat at Purdue on Jan. 2.
“You’ve got to be really, really tough, and you got to be really composed,” Gophers coach Richard Pitino said.
“You’ve got to make sure that if there is a run, which is going to happen in the building, that you can’t let a 6-0 run turn into a 10-0 run. You got to make sure you take care of the ball. You got to make sure you guard the 3-point line, all the things that get a building going. You got to make sure you contain.”
