Rutgers loses at buzzer again after blowing 17 point lead to UMass

Rutgers men’s basketball lost their third consecutive game on a three-point dagger in the closing seconds on Saturday. This time it was against UMass, who the Scarlet Knights led by as many as 17 points and by 15 with over eight minutes to play. The Minutemen hit four three-pointers down the stretch, including the last at the buzzer by star Noah Fernandes. They made 16 of 32 attempts from behind the arc in the game as Rutgers only scored 7 points in the final seven minutes of the game. The result was a 85-83 loss on the road that has this team reeling even more so.
