Rutgers knocks off No. 1 Purdue for 2nd consecutive season in epic fashion

Rutgers has done it again.

For the second consecutive season, the Scarlet Knights have upset No. 1 Purdue, beating the Boilermakers in a 65-64 win at Mackey Arena on Monday night. It is their sixth win in their last seven meetings against Purdue, and while it was less dramatic than the last-second win at Jersey Mikes Arena a year ago, it is significantly more impressive and consequential, opening another realm of possibilities for head coach Steve Pikiells program.
