Princeton is 3:42 away from starting 4-0 this year, with Monmouth about to be added to a list that already includes Rutgers, Hofstra and Duquesne. Pierce’s 20 and 10 leads a quartet of double-figure scorers as the Tigers go down the stretch with a 70-52 lead.
Rutgers loses to No. 12 Penn State 27-6. Disappointing result but a bunch of starters played hard despite not being 100%. Too many mistakes at critical points. Biggest priority is hoping this team didn’t suffer too much attrition to be able to recover for next week at Maryland.
Penn State defeats Rutgers 27-6 to move to 9-2. The Nittany Lions will face Michigan State Friday to close the regular season.
THIS JUST IN: Princeton is, as the kids say, legit. The Tigers closed the first half with a 21-5 run over the last 9:20, with Xaivian Lee and Caden Pierce dominating the Hawks and making it impossible to get a good look offensively. After 20, Monmouth trails 38-27. #FlyHawks

Penn State responds with a 15 play, 75 yard touchdown drive that took 8 minutes to take a 7-3 lead early second quarter. Offense needs to build off a solid first drive despite being on the sidelines so long. Defense needs a break.

Rutgers takes down Georgetown! https://t.co/wYonJyZM4I
Rutgers (-10), the only 4% play of the night, got home despite the late cosmetic 3. To its credit, Georgetown battled to the end even though it was as sloppy as anticipated. #GamblingX #sportsbettingpicks
From @ChrisIseman: Rutgers basketball rides solid defense, strong guard play to win over Georgetown | 5 takeaways https://t.co/O5x40Aw2m0 via @asburyparkpress
Rutgers beats Georgetown 71-60 in a game that wasn’t as close as final score indicates. Held Hoyas to 35% shooting, 28% from three and forced 20 turnovers. Balanced scoring with six players scoring 8+ points. Fernandes and Simpson dictated pace. Bench sparked 1st half. Good win.
Rutgers hasn’t scored in over four minutes and still leads by 16 points over Georgetown.
Rutgers opens the second half on a 13-4 run and made all three shots from behind the arc. One from Fernandes and two from Hyatt. Need to stomp on the Hoyas’ neck in the next four minutes. RU leads 51-36.
Rutgers is on an 18-4 run since Georgetown cut the deficit to a point with a minute to go in the first half.
Rutgers is scorching from deep to start the second half, hitting all three of its three-point attempts through four minutes. Aundre Hyatt has two, Noah Fernandes has one, and Rutgers has a game-high 15-point lead.
Half: Rutgers 38, Georgetown 32. RU built a 13-point lead, Georgetown responded with a 15-3 run, then Rutgers closed the half with a 5-0 spurt. Gavin Griffiths (10 points), Jamichael Davis (9 points) and Derek Simpson (9 points, 4/4 on free throws) lead the way for Rutgers.
Rutgers leads Georgetown 38-32 at the half. RU forced 13 turnovers and hold a 14-2 advantage in points off of them. Also 12-5 edge in fast break points. Bench outscoring Hoyas 19-1 but RU is -11 on the boards. Griffiths, David & Simpson have played really well. Need stops.
U4: Rutgers 31, Georgetown 29. Hoyas are on a 12-1 run, cutting a game-high 13-point Rutgers lead to two. The Scarlet Knights have missed three straight shots, are 2-of-6 on layups, 4-of-11 on threes. GT is 4/10 on threes, 5-of-9 on layups.
Rutgers freshmen Gavin Griffiths and Jamichael Davis: 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting, one steal, one assist. Everyone else: 10 points on 3-of-12 shooting. The young bucks are carrying the Scarlet Knights offensively early on.
U12: Rutgers 13, GT 8. Gavin Griffiths (who else?) breaks the Scarlet Knights' early 3-point drought, knocks down their first after five straight misses. Rutgers is off to good start defensively, too, holding GT to 25% shooting (3/12).
Rutgers is a 10.5-point favorite tonight over Georgetown. That seems crazy to me.
Rutgers defeats Bryant 66-57 as Aundre Hyatt scored a game high 19 points along with 8 boards. Cliff 13 points & 15 rebounds. Derek Simpson had 12 points, 4 assists and 8-8 from the foul line. RU shot just 31% but got stops down the stretch and was +17 on the boards.
Rutgers has survived, 66-57 the final over Bryant. The 8-0 run to restore order after Pinzon and Withers’ back-to-back threes ended up giving the hosts the lead for good, and sustaining momentum after the flagrant-1 locked this one down. Georgetown next on Wednesday. #RHoops
Rutgers leads Bryant 53-49 with just over four minutes remaining. Struggling from the floor but 8 of 10 from the line in second half. Simpson stepping up get the ball in his hands.
Rutgers got eight straight after Bryant took the lead, and then a putback dunk by Cliff after a Pinzon three ended the spurt. It’s still a two-point game at the U8, and the Bulldogs have possession on the other side. It’s the Scarlet Knights up 51-49 at the 6:51 mark. #RHoops
Rutgers on a 7-0 run to take a 48-44 run just over nine minutes to play.
Rutgers has exploded out of the blocks with a 7-3 run to shaft the second half, and Bryant needs a timeout. Cliff was responsible for the first four points, on a one-handed tomahawk and floater in traffic, before a Hyatt threw in the right corner. Rutgers 36, Bryant 28. #RHoops
