• Series history: Rutgers leads 9-8. The Scarlet Knights have won all nine games in the series with coach Steve Pikiell in charge, including a 66-57 victory over Indiana on Jan. 9, 2024 – the only meeting in the 2023-24 season.

The Hoosiers (10-3, 1-1 Big Ten) resume conference play at 8:30 p.m. Thursday against Rutgers (8-5, 1-1 Big Ten) inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington. The game will be broadcast on streaming service Peacock, with Noah Eagle handling play-by-play, Robbie Hummel as the analyst and Caroline Pineda on the sideline.

With both teams preferring an up-tempo style, there should be an uptick in available rebounds as well. Malik Reneau is Indiana's best player, and he's pulled down 7+ boards in nine of 13 games this season. The 6-foot-9, 232-pound forward is coming off a contest where he had seven rebounds despite playing a season-low 14 minutes.

The Indiana Hoosiers resume Big Ten play against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Here's a game prediction, the start time and key players.
