Ace Bailey keeps finding new ways to score. While the Rutgers freshman threw down another two-handed dunk and executed his patented turnaround jump shot for another bucket, he also unveiled his first drive while using the referee as a screener en route to the 82-73 victory over No.

College basketball official Jeffrey Anderson got tangled up in a play in the Rutgers-Illinois game Wednesday, but Ace Bailey was able to get a bucket anyway.

The Scarlet Knights have two of the nation's top prospects in Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper, and they seemed destined to contend for the Big Ten. Well, things haven't really gone to plan for Rutgers so far this year as they came into Wednesday night's game against #23 Illinois at 11-11 overall and 4-7 in Big Ten play.

A nagging ankle sprain for Harper and the tough defense of No. 8 Michigan State on Bailey limited their impact on Saturday as the Scarlet Knights fell, 81-74. Bailey finished with 18 points on 4-for-17 shooting, while Harper put up six in limited minutes.

Days after earning a road win over Northwestern, the Scarlet Knights (11-11, 4-7) fell to Michigan, 66-63, in Piscataway on Saturday. They fall to 2-4 in Big Ten home games, 3-9 in Quadrant 1 games and stay stuck to the bottom of the Big Ten standings as they look to earn a spot in the conference tournament next month.

Sophomore guard Jamichael Davis filled in for Harper as primary ball-handler and played a pass-first game, handing out a career-high eight assists to go along with seven points and three steals. Davis committed just one turnover and led the team in plus/minus at plus-19.
