Rutgers could not get back on track at the RAC. The Scarlet Knights (8-7, 1-3) suffered a 75-63 loss to Wisconsin in Piscataway on Monday, marking their second straight defeat, their first home defeat of the season (7-1) and their sixth defeat in their last nine games.

Wisconsin senior guard Max Klesmit and sophomore forward Nolan Winter both exited in the second half of the Badgers' fourth straight win. Both watched from the bench as the Badgers (12-3, 2-2 Big Ten) overcame 16 turnovers and 18 offensive rebounds allowed to hold off the young Scarlet Knights.

The Badgers seek their first road win of the season Monday at Rutgers where they're expected to face two of the nation's top freshmen.

Despite a career performance from Ace Bailey in which he outscored all of his teammates combined, Rutgers could not overcome the absence of star guard Dylan Harper at Assembly Hall, falling 84-74 to Indiana on Thursday to suffer its fifth loss in its past eight games.

It's important to have Harper in the lineup. He leads the Big Ten with 22.8 points per game. Along with fellow freshman phenom Ace Bailey, Harper has made Rutgers must-watch telev

While Dylan Harper is expected to make a much-needed return to the court on Monday, it is not a guarantee. The star Rutgers freshman was listed as questionable on the mandatory pregame availability report the team filed to the Big Ten ahead of a crucial home matchup with Wisconsin.
