Rutgers has been in the Big Ten 5 years. This is the first year they are not the 14 seed, they moved up to 12.

Moving up in the world

5 years? Man.

Research request for anyone interested...

What is the most significant thing Rutgers has done in those 5 years across all sports?

I don't know but I looked and it doesn't appear they have won a B1G title in any sport

This is just the first four years in the conference but overall, the record for Rutgers in the B1G is pretty abysmal. Courtesy of NJ.com:

• 2014-15: 50-127-1 (.284)
• 2015-16: 51-124-2 (.288)
• 2016-17: 37-132-7 (.230)
• 2017-18: 39-131-3 (.234)
• Overall: 177-514-13 (.260)

They’ve actually become less competitive in the back half of those four years.

When you beat the #12 seed on Wednesday in the B1G Tournament and you can't contain your excitement...

Neither NW or Ill can shoot from outside of 2 feet away....

"Illinois has no time outs."

Sure they do, in the review-everything-in-the-final-minute NCAA of today.

 

[Jake]

After 2-3 minutes of review, Northwestern calls time out.

Exciting stuff.

 

[OhioState001]

Northwestern's toast.

Indiana is favored by 2
