Enjoying the Build: 4 Thoughts on Penn State

Rutgers won their 2nd straight Big Ten game and beat Penn State on the road, 64-60.

Rutgers Wanted This Game: You could tell from the start how badly Rutgers wanted this game. The Scarlet Knights went down early 8-4 and Steve Pikiell called a time out. He brought in Eugene Omoruyi who took 2 quick charges and should have taken a third. Rutgers players were diving for balls, playing great defense and trusted their offense. There were very few forced threes and Rutgers was patient. In fact, at times, they were too patient.

Penn State Played Good Defense: Penn State took away Rutgers interior game, which made this win all the more impressive.
