Injuries, foul trouble prove costly as Ohio State wears down Rutgers in 80-68 loss

It has been a season of firsts for No. 11 Rutgers early on. They have achieved their highest ranking since the 1975-1976 season while winning their first two Big Ten contests for the first time in their history.

With 15:38 left in the second half, it looked like the Scarlet Knights were going to check off another one. Ron Harper Jr. hit a three-pointer to give Rutgers a 48-32 lead on the road against Ohio State, a place they have never won.

After leading for nearly 31 minutes of the game, the Scarlet Knights suffered a bit of a collapse in the second half.
