They have now lost back-to-back games on the road against then-No. 18 Indiana and Illinois as they attempt to shake off their first losing streak since December 11. Rutgers had an eight-point lead against the Illini in the first half but failed to score for more than 10 minutes in the second. Three games have passed since the Scarlet Knights’ season-ending injury to junior forward Mawot Mag.
Mag’s departure is felt because he was averaging 7.8 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. Mag may not be Rutgers’ best player, but until suffering a season-ending injury, he was offering much-needed interior depth. In both of their losses last week, the Scarlet Knights missed him as their lack of depth crept up to them.
