NEW YORK CITY - The Rutgers men’s basketball team saw their season come to an end on Friday night in a 82-75 loss to 3rd seeded and 8th ranked Purdue in the Quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament. The Scarlet Knights led by three points at the half and were within one possession of the lead with less than three minutes left in the game. After upset wins over 11th seeded Minnesota and 6th seeded Indiana the previous two nights, Rutgers barely fell short against one of the best teams in the country on stage in the big apple.
