Twitter reacts as Rutgers basketball continues its dominance over Indiana
Rutgers basketball got a much-needed and impressive result on Tuesday night with a 66-57 win over Indiana. The Big Ten basketball win helps stabilize a Rutgers season that has been choppy, to say the least.
With the win, Rutgers is now 9-6 (1-2 Big Ten). Indiana falls to 11-5 (3-2 Big Ten).
It wasn’t a pretty night for Rutgers, especially shooting the ball where the Scarlet Knights were just 32.3 percent from the floor. But Rutgers was strong on the boards, outrebounding Indiana 51-40 and held a 19-8 advantage on the offensive glass.
Rutgers was led in scoring by Mawot Mag’s 13 points. Cliff Omorouyi, one of the top centers in the Big Ten, had 11 rebounds and five blocked shots to key the win.
Rutgers basketball has now beaten Indiana in nine of their last 11 meetings, an impressive run of dominance for the Scarlet Knights. And for Rutgers, the Big Ten basketball win helps to steady a rocky season so far.
