It was not an ideal situation for Rutgers. A must-win game against another on-the-bubble squad in front of a full-throated crowd on Senior Night in Bloomington.
In the end, it was Ron Harper Jr. rising to the occasion once again to take down a school from Indiana.
Harper Jr. knocked down a pull-up three-pointer from the left wing with 2.1 seconds remaining that led Rutgers to a 66-63 victory over Indiana. The Scarlet Knights improved to 4-9 on the road this season and 6-5 in Quadrant 1 games.
Struggling to get over the hump from the opening minutes, Rutgers outscored Indiana 21-11 over the final nine minutes to steal the victory.
