Dylan Harper leads the Scarlet Knights back to winning ways

Dylan Harper's phenomenal display was more than just a standout individual effort, as it also propelled the Rutgers Scarlet Knights back into the win ways after their previous loss against the Michigan Wolverines on Saturday.

On Thursday, the Scarlet Knights secured an 82-73 triumph over the visiting Illinois Fighting Illini. They led in both halves, with a 37-29 advantage in the first half and a narrow 45-44 edge in the second.

Despite the victory, the Scarlet Knights still face an uphill climb in the highly competitive Big Ten Conference, as they remain stuck in 13th. This season, they have experienced a rollercoaster campaign and have struggled to find consistency — they are just 16-15 in 31 games.

They aim to build on their recent win when they face the Maryland Terrapins at the Xfinity Center College Park on Sunday.
