Winning is a beautiful thing, no matter how ugly you play. The Rutgers men’s basketball team proved that on Saturday night in a hard fought 64-60 win over Penn State. Shooting 35% on the road is usually a recipe for disaster but Rutgers pulled it out for several reasons:
- They were fully committed on the defensive end, holding Penn State to 35% shooting as well and just 6 of 24 (25%) from three-point range.
- Despite Rutgers struggling from the floor overall, they had timely shooting and made shots when they needed it most.
