Rutgers and LSU have both had tough starts. Both have struggled with injuries, both have lost a couple games, and both have slipped in the rankings.

Tonight they faced off in Baton Rouge, and LSU came out on top.

Newton was back for the Scarlet Knights, but it wasn't enough.

What happened? Rutgers "turned in a lackluster first half that saw them miss 17 of their first 20 shots and look completely unorganized on offense. They got out-hustled to loose balls, were slow to switch on wide-open LSU 3-pointers and they failed to get back on fast breaks."

Rutgers shot poorly and had only 7 assists, while LSU shot nearly 50%.
