Indiana basketball (16-7, 7-5) hosts the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (16-7, 8-4) on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. ET at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Ind. Here's how to watch, with game time and TV information, three keys to the game, the latest on the point spread, the coaching matchup, series history, stats, rankings and more.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Coming off its biggest win of the season, Indiana has a quick turnaround before a crucial Big Ten showdown. 

The Hoosiers defeated No. 1 Purdue 79-74 on Saturday, and another ranked opponent is next on the schedule. Indiana hosts No. 24 Rutgers on Tuesday at Assembly Hall, eager to avenge an ugly 15-point loss in December,

Indiana star forward Trayce Jackson-Davis is 0-6 in his career against Rutgers, and unless they meet in the Big Ten or NCAA Tournament, Tuesday's game could be his last chance to get in the win column against the Scarlet Knights. 

"I told the guys they can celebrate for about an hour," Indiana coach Mike Woodson said after beating Purdue. "And then we've got to start thinking about Rutgers."
