Rutgers beats Delaware State 70-69 behind Tariq Francis' 34-point career high and game-winning three.

Rutgers, seeking momentum after a 70-69 win over Penn, will host Delaware State. Tariq Francis, who had been benched following a loss to Seton Hall, scored a career-high 34 points and hit a game-winning three-pointer. The Scarlet Knights, 6-6 and last in the Big Ten in scoring and field goal percentage, aim to build on the comeback victory. Delaware State, 5-9 and last in the MEAC in scoring and rebounding, has lost seven straight road games and suffered lopsided defeats to Syracuse and Miami. Ponce James leads the Hornets with 13.7 points per game, while Dylan Grant tops Rutgers with 14.1 ppg. Both teams face offensive struggles, but Rutgers appears to be regaining confidence after their recent win.
