It’s a shame that Rutgers has to be so far down on this list because they played Michigan State and Wisconsin very tough in their two Big Ten Conference games. However, the Scarlet Knights followed up those close games with a loss to Fordham and that is not going to cut it.

Rutgers looks to end their three game skid with a contest against Seton Hall on Saturday.

No surprise here, Illinois is the only Big Ten team with a losing record and is currently 3-7 after a close victory over UNLV recently. This isn’t a terrible Illini team even though their record doesn’t show that.

Top 2 priorities for Ryan Day. dark. Next

They played the Buckeyes tough and have played 7 games against major conference teams. Illinois will host East Tennessee tomorrow.
