Rutgers will not make the NCAA Tournament without winning the automatic bid during the Big Ten Tournament.ย 

Rutgers has two potential NBA lottery picks in Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper, but the Scarlet Knights may finish the season without a winning record.ย 

At this point, an at-large bid is out of the question.
