The Rutgers men’s basketball team swept the season series with Northwestern on Saturday night after a 64-50 victory at the RAC. The Scarlet Knights were led by Jacob Young’s 15 points off the bench and double-doubles from Myles Johnson (12 points, 14 rebounds, 4 blocks) and Ron Harper Jr. (14 points, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 assists). However, the performances of Caleb McConnell and Paul Mulcahy stood out in the win and highlighted their importance to this team long term.
After Rutgers held a 41-27 lead less than two minutes into the second half, Northwestern methodically whittled down the deficit to a 3 point margin with just over ten minutes remaining.
