The Scarlett Knights managed to tie the game at 45-45 in the second half, but Princeton responded with a quick 8-0 run fueled by a pair of Zach Martini 3-pointers.
TRENTON, N.J. — Matt Allocco scored 21 points, Xaivian Lee added 18 and together scored the final 15 points of the game to secure Princeton’s 68-61 win over Rutgers in a season-opener Monday night.
“We need to have our guys more ready out the gate,” Rutgers coach Steve Pikiell said postgame. “It was 12-to-4 to start the game. We can’t start off a game like that. I felt like our team was fighting though. We fought back. We were a couple of possessions short. We had to finish close to the basket. I think we missed 17 layups, and that’s not a recipe to win a game. Princeton did a great job.”
