"Rutgers basketball can build much needed momentum down the stretch after 68-57 win over Maryland The Scarlet Knights snapped a seven-game losing streak behind a strong second half performance to beat the Terps on Sunday. Harun Zrno made a trio of shots from behind the arc Kaden Powers hit some big shots and Tariq Francis was automatic from the foul line. With five winnable games remaining and Keli Zinn promising a competitive NIL budget moving forward there is some actual hope for this program. Steve Pikeill has a real chance to build much needed momentum if they can string together victories"
