PISCATWAY — History in Piscataway.
Ron Harper Jr. capped off a career-night with a last second three-pointer from just over the half court line to sink No. 1 Purdue, 70-68.
This marks the first time in program history that Rutgers was able to defeat the top-ranked team in the nation. This was just the third time that Rutgers hosted the No. 1 team in the nation — the last one coming in 2004.
A thunderous dunk from Mawot Mag pulled Rutgers to within a point of No. 1 Purdue with a minute left before an offensive foul gave them the ball back with a chance to take the lead.
