The way the season was going, you can be excused if you didn’t believe that Rutgers had a shot against No. 1 Purdue this evening. The friendly confines of Jersey Mike’s Arena – known as the “Trapezoid of Terror” – didn’t give fans much comfort when their 4-4 Scarlet Knights battled the previously undefeated Boilermakers. That all changed as Ron Harper Jr. dribbled the ball down the court with seconds remaining and a chance to send the Scarlet Knights to a historic victory.  Harper Jr. launched a 3 point shot that will forever be remembered by the fans that stormed the court, cementing a 70-68 victory for the home team.
