We won by double digits pulling away. Impressive.

 

[RUsince52]

No high fives from Baker. Please don't get hurt.

 

[BillyC80]

Wow. I’m in awe of our team.

 

[RutgHoops]

So that is what its like to get a hometown whistle. I kind of liked it. Let's go RU!

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Very nice win..especially after that terrible start.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Wow. Pikes is right. You want to read the whole book can’t just jump to the end.

this game could have gone sideways fast. They hung in there. Most importantly was these guys bounced back mutiples times. Battled back from a terrible start got it to 3 them penn state closed out half great. We come out hot get up 6 penn state then goes up 2. Then we just close the game out by stomping on them.... great job. Showed a lot of guys.

Nonsense!

 

[RutgersLifeR]

That second half was a true masterpiece from the team. Excellent defense holding PSU well below their average of 81 points per game.

So proud of our guys!!!!

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

52% shooting in the 2nd half

 

[hoochie302]

Huge win after a horrible offensive start!

 

[RUforester72]

PSU board saying this is all due to the officials

They would.

 

[RU Mike73]

Pike is the man. All you guys that questioned the rotations early can eat crow. We have depth due to those decisions. Solid team. Go RU.

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

Need to take care of business on Saturday!!!!!

 

[Spare130_rivals]

The loser’s mantra.

 

[RutgHoops]

This Young kid can play a little, no? Surprised there haven't been any threads on him this season.

 

[DHajekRC84]

That's how you win games.

Man for those of you not at RU for the late 70s for Football, mens and women's bball....you're getting a taste...oh and lax and soccer (although it was mens then)

Wenzel said Pike needs to bottle whatever he said at halftime and use it every game

 

[RU89]

Lmfao...how many words

Between six to eight thousand please!

 

[RUJMM78]

In the last five minutes of the game Harper took over the game with drives to the basket resulting in foul shots that he made which demoralized Penn State.A grind out win with very poor shooting in the first half but Rutgers was only down by five points at half time.The second half had the defense play far better and the offense got contributions from Mathis and Young along with Harper.Major shout out to the fans for their constant cheering every time Penn State had the ball.Great resume building win for a post season NCAA bid.
