Rutgers Stuns Miami 57-54 On The Road Behind Outstanding Defense

The Rutgers men’s basketball team went on the road for the first time all season and left with its biggest win so far, upsetting Miami (5-2) by the score of 57-54. The Hurricanes had won 19 straight non-conference games at home, but the streak is over. The Scarlet Knights played tremendous team defense and made some clutch baskets within its halfcourt offense to outplay a more talented Miami team. It was one of the biggest victories in Steve Pikiell’s two-plus seasons on the job and gives this young squad a world of confidence as Big Ten play opens this weekend.
