Rutgers Men's Basketball Loses Heartbreaker to St. John's 61-59

Rutgers lost in about the worst way possible tonight, blowing a 16 point second half lead, losing in gut wrenching fashion in the closing seconds. After starting the second half on a 12-3 run, building their lead to 45-29, the wheels started to come off. St. John's rattled off 7 points in a row, ultimately outscoring Rutgers 32-14 the final 14 minutes of the game. Felix Balamou, just back from his suspension after being cleared this afternoon, gave the Red Storm the spark they needed to pull off the comeback. He had 8 points, 11 rebounds including 5 offensive, and 7 assists.
