Young's 23 points leads Rutgers past Minnesota 77-70 in OT | |
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Jacob Young had 23 points, seven assists and five rebounds to help Rutgers hold off Minnesota 77-70 in overtime Saturday to finish the regular season with a fourth Big Ten road win - the most for the Scarlet Knights in seven years in the league. "This is a team you can really cheer for. These are great kids, from great families," coach Steve Pikiell said. Myles Johnson added nine points and 15 rebounds and Geo Baker and Montez Mathis scored 12 points apiece for Rutgers (14-10, 10-10 Big Ten), which took a critical step toward solidifying the program's first NCAA Tournament invitation since 1991. That was the last season the Scarlet Knights, then playing in the Atlantic 10, had four road victories in conference play. MORE | |
