This was a great team win because Rutgers was able to overcome the point advantage Wisconsin received from 3 pointers and from the foul line.Baker was outstanding in the second half scoring critical baskets to maintain the lead.Johnson had a good game making dunks and put back baskets.McConnelll probably made the most important basket in the last two minutes of the game with a driving floater shot.
This was a must win type game for Rutgers and they found a way to grind out a hard fought game.Wisconsin was a constant threat to make a spurt because of their 3 point shooters.The crowd was into the game and I'm sure they had some impact on the number of Wisconsin turnovers.The mindset must now quickly move to the challenge of stopping Powell on Saturday.
