Indiana vs Rutgers Preview
The Hoosiers have won two straight, and they’re coming off an impressive 66-54 home court victory over the then-11th ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. Senior guard Devonte Green led the team in scoring against the Buckeyes with 19 points. Green is second on the team in scoring this season, and he is one of four Hoosiers players averaging in double figures.
Freshman forward Trayce Jackson-Davis has played extremely well so far this season. He leads Indiana in both scoring and rebounding, with 14.6 points and eight rebounds a game. Forward Justin Smith is adding 11.8 points per contest, and guard Al Durham is chipping in 10.8. As a team, the Hoosiers are scoring 76.2 points a game, which is fifth in the Big Ten.
Both teams are 3-2 so far in the Big Ten conference, so this game is a huge one for each of them, with Indiana having one game on Rutgers overall record-wise. Scarlet Knights head coach Steve Pikiell knows what he and his team are about to go up against.
“I think they’re really good,” Pikiell said on Monday when asked about the Hoosiers. “I think they are playing really good basketball too. Ohio State is not an easy team to play against. Coming off two big wins, they have the two big guys inside. Devonte Green, they got some guards. Al Durham, I love him. High energy, athletic, rebounding, post-up team; so a very, very good post-up team. We haven’t played one of those in a while.”
The Scarlet Knights are coming off a three-point loss to Illinois. Rutgers had won six straight prior to losing 54-51 to the Ilini. Ron Harper Jr. leads the team in scoring with 12.2 points a game, and Geo Baker is second on the team with 11.4 points per contest.
Rutgers may have an edge in this one defensively. They are second in the conference in steals (7.2 per game), second in defensive rebounds (29.4 a game) and number one in scoring defense, allowing just 59.4 points a game.
The Scarlet Knights are last in the Big Ten in three-point shooting, however, hitting just 29.8% of their shots from beyond the arc, but they could get a boost from the home town crowd. Two of Indiana’s three losses have come on the road.
