Rutgers R.small

Despite having four players score in double figures, the Scarlet Knights, led by JR Inman’s 17 point effort could not overcome the two time national champion Florida Gators who had five players in double figures.

The RU squad hung in there in the first 15 minutes of the game and the score was tied at 31 with 5:52 left in the opening half. That’s when the Gators went on a 17-2 run to close out the stanza and effectively put the game away.

Freshmen guards Mike Coburn and Corey Chandler as well as Junior guard Anthony Farmer each had 10 points for the Knights.

The Gator’s were led by Marreese Speights’ 18 points


In dropping this final game of the Blue Ribbon Challenge, Rutgers fell to 3-1. They will return to the friendly confines of the RAC to play Dartmouth on Tuesday night.

Florida improved its record to 4-0.
