The Scarlet Knights suffered their sixth loss in their past nine games on Monday, falling to Wisconsin in a 75-63 defeat that pushes them further from an NCAA Tournament bid that is becoming increasingly unlikely. Prominent bracketologist Brad Wachtel explained the situation bluntly: “Rutgers season is officially on life support.”

Here's everything you need to know about the Big Ten matchup between Rutgers and Wisconsin, including TV channel and streaming options to watch the game.

The Scarlet Knights lose to Wisconsin, 75-63, in Big Ten men's basketball action, Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2025, at Jersey Mike's Arena in Piscataway, N.j.

Wisconsin basketball improved to 12-3 on the season and 2-2 in Big Ten play with an impressive road win at Rutgers on Monday.

After one of its best nights in program history, Wisconsin will try to keep the momentum going against a young, talented conference opponent.

BOTTOM LINE: Wisconsin visits Rutgers after John Blackwell scored 32 points in Wisconsin's 116-85 win over the Iowa Hawkeyes. The Scarlet Knights have gone 7-0 at home. Rutgers is 4-3 when it turns the ball over less than its opponents and averages 10.6 turnovers per game.

Both Harper and Bailey possess size on the perimeter, so Wisconsin should continue to funnel the ball inside to Steven Crowl and Nolan Winter. The interior pressure will open shots for dynamic scorers John Blackwell and John Tonje, who will have their hands full with Harper and Bailey.

The Badgers turned the ball over 16 times and allowed 18 offensive rebounds Monday night, but they showed they could win in a different way.

For the second time, Owen Wafle has chosen a Big Ten power over interest from his home state school. One year after signing with Michigan as a four-star recruit out of high school, the former Hun School defensive lineman entered the transfer portal in search of a new home.

What followed in the College Football Playoff was somewhat of a surprise, however, as Ohio State demolished Oregon en route to a national title game appearance. That sent the Buckeyes to the No. 1 slot in our final 2024 power rankings. It’s a spot they’ll hold regardless of the result of Monday’s game.
