The First place Scarlet Knights (15-2, 5-1) continue their fight for the Big Ten Title on Monday, Jan. 20 at 6 p.m. against Michigan State at the RAC, airing live on the Big Ten Network.
Rutgers is 15-2, signaling its best start to a season during the C. Vivian Stringer era (since 1995) and best overall since the 1990-91 squad opened 16-1 on their way to the NCAA Tournament. Redshirt Jr. guard Arella Guirantes is 21 points away from 1,000 for her career. She leads the Big Ten in scoring at 19.1 points per game (29th nationally). She has been honored by the Big Ten in six weekly honors this season.
D-FENCE: The Scarlet Knights' 15 wins have been fueled by stifling defense. RU ranks No. 4 in the nation in field goal percentage defense at .327 and No. 7 in the nation in scoring defense at 53.1 points allowed per game. RU, who leads the Big Ten in points allowed and field goal percentage defense, has held 16 of 17 opponents under its scoring average, while doing the same in 46 of its last 49 dating back to last season.
After today, Rutgers flies to Michigan for a Big Ten road game on Sunday, Jan. 26 at 2 p.m.
The Scarlet Knights are 8-1 at home this season and 34-6 over the last three seasons at the RAC. The Spartans (10-7, 3-3) are 8-0 at home, but 2-7 away from East Lansing. Michigan State has won two straight, downing Wisconsin 69-52 and Ohio State 68-65 at home. All three Big Ten wins came in East Lansing, with the three losses on the road.

Crowd at tip off pretty god 100s and student section about 80%
I hope Dee K. is in a good ref mood tonight. Oh please let them play, and not start with the whistles already.
Someone please tell Sanders to stop shooting.
The d is really poor tonight and so is shooting by all but AG.
Was hoping they'd be pissed by not making t25.

Michigan State is kicking butt. They want it. Rutgers is playing exactly like last game. Slow unathletic and disinterested
Down already..32 points No defense

They sure do look slow and uninterested on D. Settlibg on o. Lets go women. #energy
They are getting 2 or 3 shots at the basket e ery possession
Rebounding is atrocious

Cherub prepared her team well. Rutgers unprepared
Oh well
38-27 halftime...getting spanked by a mediocre team at home

I suggest pressing more to get the energy up. Aaaaand Maybe just maybe guarding the three from the corner?
KK also needs to stop with the fancy stuff and do what a pg does.
As usual, officiating in women's basketball SUCKS! Arella got hammered not once but three times going to the hoop and no calls against MSU.
But the reason why we're losing this game: we can't shoot and we are NOT defending the 3 point arc and MSU has knocked down 6 of them. SIX! And we wonder why we're down by 11.
C Viv. needs to put Noga in there and rev up the 55 or else we're going to get blown out of our own gym.
