The highest ranked win in program history inspired our contributors to get together for a reaction round table to discuss Rutgers’ buzzer beater victory over No. 1 Purdue. It also serves as a good place to catch up as we are now about 30% into the season.

David Anderson: Counting before I was born, probably the elite 8 win in 1976 is the best. If we are talking last 30 years I’d put it on the Mt.
