Rutgers thrashes Georgetown in final edition of Gavitt Games behind elite defensive display

Rutgers took out old frustrations on a former conference rival with an elite defensive display and its best offensive stretch of the season.

The Scarlet Knights crushed Georgetown at Jersey Mike’s Arena on Wednesday, earning a 71-x60 win in what will likely be the final edition of the Gavitt Games. If this is it for the annual series between the Big East and the Big Ten, Rutgers will finish with a final record of 2-3, with its other victory coming on the road over DePaul.
