Illinois handed Rutgers a tough 81-55 loss on the road, but there’s a silver lining for Scarlet Knights fans—freshman Kaden Powers is really starting to shine. Even as Rutgers struggled, Powers led the team in scoring for the second straight game, showing real promise for the future. While the Illini’s 20-0 first-half run put the game out of reach early, it’s hard not to notice the grit from Rutgers’ younger players. With Northwestern up next at home, it’ll be interesting to see if this young core can keep growing. What do you think Rutgers needs to turn things around? #Sports #RutgersBasketball #BigTen
