The first half belongs to the Scarlet Knights. It was 20 outstanding minutes of great basketball from the team. Rutgers built a 20-point first-half lead. In the second half, they didn’t bring the same fire and focus as in the first.

Football

The reunion must be feeling really good between coaches and players. It's all about putting it all together and for Rutgers Scarlet Knights to make a run for the Big 10 title in the future.

Basketball

The first half has always been a struggle all season for Rutgers. Rutgers has to play and execute better in fast-break situations. Rutgers must be consistent as a unit with their defense and connect.

Football

The best recruit of the off-season for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Munn was an FCS All-American last season. He has tremendous athleticism and speed, and he knows how to read the defense.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights have a history battling Maryland. For the most part, it hasn’t been successful, but the team always fights hard and looks to come out with a win.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights showed some resilience in the second half. Nebraska’s hot shooting was too much to handle.

Basketball

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights have lost seven straight in a row. They made several mistakes against UCLA Bruins on Tuesday.

Recruiting

Rutgers Scarlet Knights offensive line is one of the areas that the program needs to improve. The new offensive lineman is a big addition for the program.

Football

Rutgers Scarlet Knights status as a program will be dictated by their performances against three Big Ten teams.

Basketball

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights played great against a top team like Michigan State Spartans. Rebounding and lack of making three-points shots were a major concern for them.
