Rutgers 65, Penn State 45: Knights Defense Too Much To Handle

Every team has one of “those” games. For Penn State, that came in this contest at Jersey Mike’s Arena. The Nittany Lions are not the first to look like high school players when the place formerly known as The RAC, and certainly won’t be the last. But, for a team looking to put itself in the right side of the bubble, nights like this make the task that much taller.

The Lions scored the first points of the night, and from there, it was basically all Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights would go on an 8-0 run after that first three (of which there would be three more for the Lions, a season low).
