Rutgers defeats Nebraska 75-72 behind dramatic 9-0 run to stay perfect at the RAC

Despite beating Nebraska by 17 points on the road without captain Geo Baker at the beginning of this month, it shouldn’t have been a surprise that this game would be a dogfight. Rutgers was playing its third game in six days and after leading by double digits early in the second half, they seemed to tire. Nebraska’s Cam Mack picked up the pace and the Huskers had a big day from behind the arc. Despite it all with Rutgers trailing by 6 points and three minutes to play, they gutted out a thrilling victory behind timely defense and three massive three-pointers to defeat Nebraska 75-72.
