Head coach Steve Pikiell delivered his first signature win of his Rutgers tenure with an improbable 71-65 victory over blood rival Seton Hall on Saturday afternoon in front of the largest home crowd at the RAC in 15 years. With Rutgers trailing by as many as 13 points in this game and by 9 points with six minutes to play, the Scarlet Knights produced 17-2 run down the stretch that shocked the #15th ranked Pirates. Seton Hall failed to score a basket the final six minutes of the game and Corey Sanders carried Rutgers down the stretch, finishing with a game high 22 points on 9 of 16 shooting, as well as 4 rebounds and 4 steals.
