UPSET—Rutgers 71, No. 8 Georgetown 68. Rutgers is God-awful, so this confounds and astounds me. Greg Monroe continues to learn how to be a leader, even if the teams around his is erratic.

Second-biggest upset in program history, next to No. 6 West Virginia in 1982. Dane Miller’s flying, one-handed put-back that gave RU the lead for good with 21 seconds left will go down as one of the great plays in program lore.
