A 3-pointer by Cam Spencer with 10 seconds left lifted the Scarlet Knights to a 65-64 triumph Monday over No. 1 Purdue, 13 months after Rutgers took down the Boilermakers 70-68 on a half-court buzzer-beater.
On a Thursday night in December 2021, Cam Spencer was scrolling for college basketball scores when he noticed a stunner -- Rutgers beating top-ranked Purdue on a buzzer-beater.Thirteen months later history repeated itself, only Spencer didn't have to search for highlights.
“He played well the entire game," Rutgers coach Steve Pikiell said."He’s a guy who’s in the gym, in the film room, the guys on the team respect him. He’s not just a shooter. He does a lot for us.""At the end there, he was like, ‘I’m making this,'" the coach said."He’s a real confident kid. He been a great addition.”
"He’s a leader," Pikiell said."He wanted the ball. He makes good decisions. He’s a stat-stuffer and he’s a winner. He showed it all tonight.” More pressingly, Rutgers picked up its first win away from home this season, and what an enormous resume-builder this is.
