PISCATAWAY — The focus entering Rutgers’ Tuesday night bout with Fordham was all on Corey Sanders and the junior guard’s journey to 1,000 career points. It took longer than most expected, but he reached the mark with 50 seconds to go until halftime.
The milestone was a cool moment and we’ll have more about it in Fonseca’s Four Observations below, but first, something more important which got lost in the hype — the actual basketball game.
Rutgers led the Rams for the final 37 minutes of play, overcoming some hot shooting from Ivan Raut and some sloppy play on their part to take a 75-63 victory.
