Two disappointing squads from the Big Ten meet tonight in Seattle when the Scarlett Knights of Rutgers (12-14, 5-10) take the court against the Washington Huskies (13-12, 4-10).
Rutgers entered the season with an outstanding freshman class featuring two lottery, if not Top 5 picks in the upcoming NBA Draft, but it has not translated into wins. The Scarlet Knights’ current losing streak has reached three games following Sunday’s 75-57 stomping at Oregon. The Huskies won Saturday, 75-73, at Penn State to climb out of the conference cellar. Playing a bit better of late, the win was Washington’s third in its last five games.
The Scarlet Knights are 4-6 overall in their last ten games and 2-6 on the road for the season while the Huskies are 3-7 in their last ten and 9-6 at home this season.
Lets dive into the matchup and offer some information and possibly a sweat or two.

Rutgers at Washington Best Bets
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) expects the Scarlet Knights to score early in this one: Rutgers 1H Team Total Over 34.5 (-125)
“Rutgers has lost three straight games and had one of its worst second halves of the season against Oregon with only 24 points. Rutgers trailed 38-33 at the half, then something happened where this team could not hang after the break. A restart against a Washington team could be what this Rutgers squad needs. The Huskies won three of the past five games and three out of the last four opponents scored 37 or more points in the first half on Washington. I like Rutgers to go Over 34.5 first-half points at Washington.”
