Rutgers Post Game Links

t. John's improves to 13-8 on the season, and moves back to .500 in Big East play at 5-5. The Red Storm avoid the dreaded "trap game" scenario, with this game sandwiched in between national TV matchups versus Duke and UCLA.

Rutgers falls to 12-10 overall, and 3-7 in Big East play. The disappointing thing for Mike Rice's bunch is, this is a game they clearly could have won, if they had taken better care of the basketball. St. John's was not at its best -- far from it. Rutgers squandered a golden opportunity.

St. John's squashes Rutgers comeback on game-winning layup by Justin Brownlee in 58-56 victory

Call it a trap game, a rock fight, or any other hyperbole you’d like; but at the end of the night, just remember to call it a win.

In a game that mirrored the last matchup that took place at Carnesecca Arena, St. John’s (13-8, 5-5 in the Big East) wasn’t flashy or pretty on the court tonight; but they emerged the victor, unlike their meeting with Cincinnati almost two weeks ago, as Justin Brownlee’s driving layup with 3.2 seconds left in regulation was enough to outlast Rutgers (12-10, 3-7) by the final of 58-56.  The Scarlet Knights had a chance to win the game with a half-court shot, but were unable to beat the buzzer in the latest chapter of a rivalry that has come to define the nature of Big East basketball.
