PISCATAWAY - A girl said yes to her prom date on the giant video board, a Super Bowl champion threw an autographed football into the student section, and the Montclair-based Drums of Thunder crushed their halftime performance.
Some unusual things happened Tuesday night at Rutgers Athletics Center.
Just not when it came to basketball.
With New England Patriots star Devin McCourty sitting courtside as part of a crowd of 6,017 at his alma mater, Rutgers dropped its sixth straight game, falling 79-59 to a Maryland team determined not to experience four straight losses for the first time in 12 seasons.
