Heartbreak for Rutgers


Rutgers was pulling the big-time upset of #2 Houston. They were up 58-49 with 5 minutes to play.

Then, Houston went on a 14-2 run to finish the game and come back for a 63-60 win. Down 2, Houston’s DeJon Jarreau missed his shot, but Tramon Mark rebounded the ball, went back up strong, gets fouled and still makes the basket. Then, Mark hits the free throw to take a 1 point lead.

Rutgers had a couple chances to tie – but Geo Baker lost the ball on the first drive. And then after Marcus Sasser hit two free throws to extend the lead to 3 with 9 seconds, Rutgers last ditch three-point shot missed.

Houston survived and advanced. And heartbreak for Rutgers – this is one of the best seasons they have had in a very long time – so hate to see it end like that.
