Northwestern vs. Rutgers Prediction
Northwestern comes into tonight's matchup with a 8-5 record in Big Ten play with their five losses coming from at Illinois, at Wisconsin, at Nebraska, at Purdue, and at Minnesota. All five of their losses have been on the road, and the Wildcats are on the road tonight.
Rutgers is 9th in the Big Ten with a record on 5-7 in conference play. Their five wins have come at home against Indiana, home versus Nebraska, at Michigan, at Maryland, and at home against Wisconsin. Although it has been a let down year for the Scarlet Knights, this team is 10-3 at home. They defend their court well, I expect them to get win number 11 at home tonight. Northwestern has struggled on the road with a 2-5 record away from their home court.
KEYS TO THE GAME FOR RUTGERS:
- Get out to a hot start
- Win the rebounding battle
- Defend the 3
- Limit Boo Buie
- Jeremiah Williams to score 15+
Expect Jeremiah Williams to take over this game and score around 20 points tonight. He has been big for this team since he came back, and I think he has a massive night against this below-par defense of Northwestern. If Rutgers can control the game early and get the crowd into it while rebounding the ball like they do, I think that they can win by 7+ tonight, especially with Jeremiah Williams scoring the rock.
Take Rutgers -4 as my MAX BET tonight! Let's cash!
