PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) Ron Harper Jr. broke out of his shooting slump with one of those nights where he hit almost everything.
Harper hit all five of his 3-pointers and scored 27 points, and Rutgers remained unbeaten at home with a 72-57 victory over No. 22 Illinois on Saturday, sending the Illini to their fourth straight loss.
Gio Baker and Akwasi Yeboah added 12 points apiece and Myles Johnson had 11 rebounds as the Scarlet Knights (18-8, 9-6 Big Ten) improved to a nation's best 17-0 at home.
''It was Ron's night and we got him the basketball,'' Rutgers coach Steve Pikiell said.
