I watched both the Crown and the NIT tonight (insert punchline about addiction) and the NIT had some juice in the stands at Hinkle while the Crown looked like a graveyard in Vegas.

Rutgers falls to Creighton 82-69 in the College Basketball Crown quarterfinals -- and heads into the offseason with a frontcourt overhaul coming but hopes for some key backcourt retention.

Final: Creighton 82, Rutgers 69.
In one 18-minute period, the Scarlet Knights shot 4-of-29 from the floor. It is almost impossible to win a college basketball game when that happens: https://t.co/zXJ9Tq58vh

After Rutgers led 22-12 at the midway point of the first half, Creighton finished the game on a 70-47 run.
Rutgers completes its first 20 loss campaign in 10 years and first of the Steve Pikiell era.
This game should rubber stamp the need to make major changes with the roster.
