Six weeks after the turn of the century, Rutgers posted consecutive road wins over Big East foes, topping Boston College and Providence over a 10-day span in February 2000.

Hard as it is to believe, the Scarlet Knights haven't accomplished that feat since.

After upsetting Penn State for its first ever Big Ten road win last weekend, Rutgers had a chance to accomplish something it hasn't done in 17 years.

But Ohio State thwarted that quest.

Kam Williams led three Buckeyes in double figures with a game-high 23 points, as Ohio State held off a spirited Rutgers rally and prevailed 70-64 in a Big Ten affair Wednesday night in Columbus, Ohio.
