Rutgers sprints to early lead, holds off Penn State
- At University Park, Rutgers defeated Penn State 85-72 on Wednesday, with Tariq Francis scoring 22 points and seven assists.
- Early in the game, Emmanuel Ogbole's dunk six seconds in and Francis' five straight points created a 16-2 margin, setting the tone for Rutgers’ start.
- Offensively, Rutgers benefitted from Dylan Grant's 6-of-8 shooting, Harun Zrno's three 3-pointers, and Rutgers shot 57% with 20 of 23 free throws.
- Penn State responded when a late-game rally cut the gap to 67-56 and Josh Reed's 3-pointer with 2:54 remaining pulled them within eight despite shooting 3 of 17 from three.
- The 39-20 halftime cushion marked Rutgers' largest road halftime lead in conference play since coach Steve Pikiell took over in 2016, and Rutgers plays Saturday at Minnesota.
