Rutgers 67, St. John's 67, 2.7 seconds to play. Rutgers has the ball, will inbound under its own basket.
Rutgers leads St. John’s 67-66 with 1:22 to play. Trailed by 19 at the half. Already love this team.
Rutgers has cut what was once a 20-point deficit to four points — 58-54 with 5:46 to play. Scarlet Knights have eight fast-break points in the second half but it feels like more; they've been pushing the pace off of every offensive rebound and getting buckets off of it.
Rutgers wins their way to a bowl game for the first time since 2014! LET’S GOOOOO. @RFootball https://t.co/z3msEtINRe
PAT good. Rutgers leads IU 24-14, 8:45 left 3Q. #iufb
U16: St. John's 13, Rutgers 6. Good news: Rutgers is 3/4 on 2s thus far. Bad news: Scarlet Knights are getting killed on the press (4 turnovers), missed both threes they took and are having tough time stopping SJU inside (4/4 on 2s).
Touchdown Rutgers. Wimsatt from 1 yard out on the sneak. #iufb
It is very early in the third quarter for Indiana's defense to look so tired. But Rutgers has 49 snaps to IU's 24, and the Scarlet Knights are pushing 25 minutes TOP to the Hoosiers' ~11. Offense has to balance this out or the defense will run out of gas. #iufb
Big play upcoming. Rutgers going for it on 4th-and-4 in IU territory. #iufb
Touchdown Indiana. Hoosiers go for it on 4th-and-8 from the Rutgers 35. Sorsby breaks pressure and finds a wide-open Omar Cooper behind coverage in the end zone. #iufb
At 5-2, Rutgers will play at 2-4 Indiana this Saturday, have a bye week then face a November slate vs. three opponents with a combined record of 18-1 before closing with 5-2 Maryland. Indiana really is a must win. Locks up a bowl berth, raises floor & builds off MSU win mojo.
