🔴 Rutgers Player Stats

Team Trends

• Allowing opponents 39.3% from three in Big Ten play (17th of 18 teams)
• Allowing 36.3 rebounds per game in conference play (last in Big Ten)
• Lost 3 of last 4, including 68–62 at Iowa

Prediction:

• Indiana is on a four game losing streak after going through a gauntlet of four top 20 Big 10 teams.   The issue is that Indiana didn’t even really make it close in any of these games.
• The Hoosiers maybe the talk in football, but this basketball team is bad and they have no business laying points on the road.
• Rutgers is the worst team in the big 10 and there is no question about that, but this team at least rebounds the ball decently and plays ok defense.   Rutgers ranks 82d in offensive rebounding percentage.   
• The other thing that I like here is that Rutgers has at least played tough at home with wins against Oregon and Northwestern.   They played Ohio State and only lost by 7.
• 

• Either way, this handicap is more about fading Indiana.  The Hoosiers rank 348th in away game expectations on Haslametrics.
• Take the home dog.

Rutgers +7 – 2 stars
