Rutgers picked up its second straight win on Sunday, defeating USC 95-85 at home. Dylan Harper (25 points) and Ace Bailey (14 points) led the team in scoring. The freshman duo is approaching the Rutgers All-Time True Freshman scoring record of 517 points. Harper is just 33 points shy, while Bailey is 39 points away. Sophomore guard Jamichael Davis also delivered a strong performance, contributing 13 points in the victory.
With the win, the Scarlet Knights, now 7-0 in conference play, hold a 1.5-game lead over 16th-place Northwestern (5-11). However, with Minnesota, USC, and Iowa all at 6-10, the race remains tight as Rutgers looks to separate itself from the pack.
The Wolverines have won seven of their last eight games, most recently defeating Nebraska 49-46, on Monday. Junior guard Roddy Gayle Jr. scored a team-high 12 points and 5 rebounds, while junior guard Tre Donaldson contributed 11 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists.
Michigan has been having a remarkable season. The team’s 21 wins are its most since the 2020-21 season, when they went 23-5 and reached the Elite Eight.
Gayle Jr. attributes the Wolverines’ success to their tenacity.
“We find a way, no matter what. Whatever way we get it done, we find a way,” said Gayle Jr. “We have plenty of games where shots weren’t falling or there were games we did have shots falling. I feel like through the ups and downs, we stay levelheaded, we stay in that medium. I feel like that’s the way we thrive.”
The Wolverines, seeking their first Big Ten regular season title since 2021, currently sit second in conference standings behind Michigan State.
