Rutgers strong defensively, rolls past Bucknell

Rutgers did not waste anytime taking control of Bucknell on Friday.

The Scarlet Knights took its first double-digit lead just five minutes into the game. It ballooned to 18 with 10 minutes left in the first half. The team held a double-digit lead over the final 32 minutes of the game as Rutgers cruised to an 85-50 victory at Jersey Mike’s Arena.

Rutgers will now have Coppin State on the schedule as the final low-major opponent. The Scarlet Knights have avoided that detrimental loss early in the season. They have now taken down the first six low-majors on their schedule and have defeated five by 30 or more points.
