RECAP: Rutgers Hoops defeats Clemson, snaps three game skid
Rutgers Basketball has snapped the three game losing streak tonight defeating the Clemson Tigers in the ACC / B1G Challenge tonight by a final score of 73-64.
The Scarlet Knights offense tonight had a solid game, shooting just over 43% from the field and 36.*% from beyond the arc. They were led in scoring by forward Ron Harper Jr. who went off tonight scoring 23 points. Along with Harper, Rutgers also got solid offensive contributions from the likes of Caleb McConnell (16pts) and Aundre Hyatt (11pts).
On the flip side, the defense did a real good job today not only holding the Tigers offense to just 64 points, which ties for their second lowest scoring output of the season and is 10 whole points behind the Tigers season average.
This was a huge bounce back win for the Scarlet Knights as they beat a solid ACC school and are able to gain some momentum as they get ready for Big Ten play at the end of this week.
RHOOPS PLAY OF THE GAME: A cutting Caleb McConnell sees Aundre Hyatt wide open in the corner at the last second and instead of forcing a shot he takes a dribble, fake the defender rand hits the three to make the RAC erupt.
UP NEXT: Rutgers will head out to the Midwest to take on the Illinois Fighting Illinois in their first conference game of the 2021-22 season on Friday afternoon. Tip-off is set for at 7 p.m. (ET) and the game can be watched on the Big Ten Network.
