There is no sugarcoating this loss, as Rutgers looked awful on the offensive end. While they lost intensity on defense at times, they still held Penn State to 36% shooting and just 60 points in the game. However, Rutgers shot just 29% from the field and finished with only 47 points in a very disappointing loss, their first at the RAC all season. This was a huge opportunity in front of a great home crowd and a Penn State team dealing with key players battling the flu. Unfortunately, Rutgers gave the fans very little to cheer about and trailed by as many as 18 points in the second half and never got within single digits after the break.
