Rutgers has played its last game for the 2022-23 season — and it ended in a fitting way.

How did it happen? A blown lead in the final 25 seconds and a missed opportunity before the final buzzer.
Cam Spencer led Rutgers with 22 points as Rutgers found itself in a high-scoring battle with a fast-paced team. The Pride came in and was not afraid to run and it showed late.
