TheKnightReport.net editor Richie Schnyderite answers a few questions on Indiana's opponent Wednesday. The upstart-Scarlet Knights are 12-4 overall, 3-2 in the Big Ten conference.

NICK BAUMGART: Historically speaking, how good is this Rutgers team?

RICHIE SCHNYDERITE : For the first time in a long time, Rutgers has a legit shot at a postseason tournament. I hate to admit it, but I’ve actually started to prepare to make plans to cover a Rutgers basketball game in March.

While there might be some struggles offensively with this team, RU has one of the best defenses in the entire country.

NB: Junior co-captain Geo Baker will miss his fourth straight game with a broken left thumb. How big of a deal is no Baker?
