Rutgers has problems. Round of applause for Carter Gilmore who has worked himself into being a very significant role for this team. And kudos to Winter who is forcing Crowl to get better. Nice win.

It is a surprise that the Rutgers Scarlet Knights are not as good as people thought they were going to be this college basketball season. The Wisconsin Badgers on the other hand are very good offensively this season and will look to keep things rolling in BIG10 Conference play.
