Well, this is going to be hard to write about. Rutgers had a chance to go to the Sweet Sixteen, played their hearts out and then broke them.
Four Thoughts.
Turning Point: Rutgers was able to build a ten point lead with under ten minutes to go. Then Houston re-inserted Dajon Jarreau, their starting point guard, best defensive player and injured player. He stabilized the rattled Cougars and started the comeback. Rutgers, however, was still throwing punches and when Houston would score, so would Rutgers. Except for the five point swing. Geo Baker threw a lob to Myles Johnson, who missed the dunk—a play they have run a thousand times.
