Rutgers falls to Minnesota at the buzzer, Scarlet Knights suffer gut-punch

At one point, it was a no-brainer that Rutgers was heading to its third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.

After Thursday night, that is in question.

The Scarlet Knights led 70-60 with 1:15 remaining at Williams Arena in Minneapolis against a Minnesota team that was 1-16 in Big Ten play. Fast forward 75 seconds and Jamison Battle knocked down a three at the buzzer to sink the Scarlet Knights, 75-74.

Rutgers made it through the weakest part of its non-conference schedule unscathed but this adds a Quad 4 loss to go along with three Quad 3 losses.
