Dec 3, 2022 12:00 AM
Indiana basketball (7-0) hits the road to face the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (5-2) on Saturday at 4 p.m. ET at Jersey Mike's Arena in Piscataway, N.J. Here's how to watch, with game time and TV information, three leading storylines, the latest on the point spread, the coaching matchup, series history and more.
PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Trayce Jackson-Davis is rising up the all-time Indiana scoring and rebounding charts, but he's more concerned with winning games than personal accolades during his senior year.
Jackson-Davis powered the Hoosiers to résumé-building wins over Xavier and North Carolina, and next on the list is Rutgers, a team Jackson-Davis hasn't beaten in three-plus years at Indiana. Following the Hoosiers' win over North Carolina in front of a wild crowd at Assembly Hall, Jackson-Davis was asked what this Indiana team is capable of.
"What we're capable of is playing our next game, which is at Rutgers. I haven't beat Rutgers since I've been here. The RAC has always been a very hostile environment. They've had our number there."
"That's the biggest test. That's what I said to our guys this week, I said, UNC is going to be a great team and a great game. Obviously with this crowd, I liked our chances. But the real test is what we're going to do on Saturday with that game because they're a good team and they're very well-coached."
