More on Rutgers vs. Iowa

Moreover, Rutgers will be looking for revenge against Iowa after the Hawkeyes defeated the Scarlet Knights in Piscataway, New Jersey during a contest earlier in January. In that showdown, the Hawkeyes were led by Payton Sandfort, who amassed 22 points en route to a victory.

Rutgers has been one of the best teams in the Big Ten throughout the season, currently second in their conference. Meanwhile, Iowa has been a little more up and down, but another win over Rutgers would go a long way for them.

Regardless, it should be a tremendous contest, and one many in the Big Ten will be keeping an eye on.
