Rutgers Basketball's win streak was snapped at four tonight, as they lost to Penn State inside of the Bryce Jordan Center by a final score of 66-49.

The Scarlet Knights offense struggled as a whole today as the team shot 33.9% from the field to go along with 26.3% from three and 50.0% from the free throw line. No matter what it was the team couldn't buy a bucket on the road as they never led once the entire game.

On top of that, they also somehow managed to get outrebounded by the Nittany Lions, 41-to-33. Three players (Omoruyi, McConnell & Harper) combined for 23 of the team's 33 rebounds as the rest of the team struggled on the glass.

Overall this is a very bad loss for Rutgers, as not only did they lose, but they got blown out by a Penn State team that has seen its struggles this year and is in year one of the Micah Shrewsberry era. This is also a loss that will not help Rutgers tournament resume come March.
