Rutgers survives Saint Peter’s scare, pulls away from pesky Peacocks late to stay undefeated

It took much longer than the filled-out crowd at Jersey Mike’s Arena would have liked, but Rutgers eventually overpowered an overmatched opponent to remain undefeated.
The No. 24 Scarlet Knights withstood a first-half onslaught and competitive second half from Saint Peter’s before warding off the pesky Peacocks en route to a 75-65 win on Monday night that was closer than the score indicates.
