Rutgers loses heartbreaker to no. 16/14 Penn State 65-64

After many very competitive, close losses on the road in the past month, the bottom appeared to fall out for Rutgers on Wednesday night in Happy Valley. Penn State blitzed from the three-point line and defensively forced too many contested, difficult shots from Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights looked a step slow defensively and out of sync on the offensive end in the first half, trailing by 18 points at the break. Once again, RU showed a ton of heart and came all the way back to lead by 2 in the final seconds of the game before losing a heartbreaker to Penn State 65-64.
