Jacob Young steals the show in program defining victory

As the years go by and the Rutgers men’s basketball’s 2020-2021 season is remembered, the victory over Minnesota will still be in the front of our minds. It won’t be because of how well they played but because of the importance of the win itself. Finding themselves in the exact same situation as a year ago when they had to win on the road at Purdue in order to clinch an NCAA Tournament berth, Rutgers did it again at Minnesota on Saturday. Just like a year ago, they needed overtime to do it. And in both games, Jacob Young rose to the occasion when it mattered most.
