Rutgers Scarlet Knights Analysis

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights suffered a 78-66 loss to Wisconsin, extending their current slide. They played a solid first half but were outscored in the second half. Jeremiah Williams led the team with 15 points while Gavin Griffiths contributed 14 points off the bench. With five losses in their last six games, the Scarlet Knights are no longer in contention for an NCAA Tournament at-large bid and will need to make a run in the Big Ten Tournament. Offensively, they rank 340th in scoring, 14th in field goal shooting, and 13th in 3-point shooting in the Big Ten. Defensively, they rank well in scoring defense, field goal defense, and 3-point defense. The Scarlet Knights have key injuries, with F Mawot Mag listed as questionable. In terms of power rankings, the Scarlet Knights are 310th and overall have a record of 14-15 (12-17 ATS). Against Ohio State, they have gone 1-2 in their last three matchups. Offensively, Rutgers struggles with low shooting percentages and turnover numbers, while defensively they are solid in limiting opponents' shooting percentages.

Ohio State Looks to Extend Road Success Against Rutgers

Ohio State currently holds a 1-8 record on the road in the Big Ten, despite the team showing significant improvement since the beginning of the season. Meanwhile, Rutgers has maintained a slightly above-average record of 5-4 when playing at home in Big Ten matchups. Both teams are evenly matched in terms of rebounding statistics; however, Rutgers has struggled in the absence of Mag, who is an essential defensive player and asset on the boards. It is unlikely that Mag will return for the upcoming game against Ohio State. Ohio State is coming off a successful three-game winning streak, which included an impressive victory over Michigan State on the road. A win in this game will bring Ohio State closer to securing an at-large bid for the Big Dance, providing them with additional motivation. Considering these factors, it is advisable to favor Ohio State in this matchup.
