Their previous game against Princeton's Tigers also ended in defeat, where they scored 55 points compared to the Tigers' 66. The team showed improvement from beyond the arc hitting half of their three-point attempts but turnovers were an issue as they gave up possession twenty-one times which translated into eleven points for Princeton.
In another recent matchup versus Indiana's Hoosiers, Rutgers managed to put up a competitive fight but ultimately lost with a score of 56-66. They improved on field goal percentage reaching nearly 41 percent and maintained decent defensive rebounds but personal fouls and turnovers continued to be areas needing attention.
