The Scarlet Knights have forced 106 Turnovers in the last 5 games, thanks in part to the 5️⃣5️⃣. We’re certainly looking to create more chaos and force turnovers in the NCAA Tournament!#DetermineRDestiny pic.twitter.com/JOJQKf61dF

Defending Home Court: the Scarlet Knights were 13-2 this season at the RAC.#DetermineRDestiny pic.twitter.com/XK8jWiMl1l

Our 22-9 record is the most wins for the program since the 2014-15 season. Our conference record of 13-5 is the most conference wins since the 07-08 season, and most Big Ten wins since joining the conference.

We’re excited to return to the Big Dance! #DetermineRDestiny pic.twitter.com/x5WCdLpN1z
