Harper scores career-high 36 points, Rutgers beats Notre Dame 85-84 in OT at Players Era Festival

Dylan Harper scored a career-high 36 points and Rutgers held off Notre Dame for an 85-84 overtime victory on Tuesday night in the Players Era Festival. Rutgers jumped out to an 81-75 lead with 50 seconds left in overtime before Notre Dame's Matt Allocco hit three straight 3-pointers within 30 seconds, the last a step-back contested 3, that tied it 84-all with 12.4 seconds to go. But on the ensuing possession, Cole Certa fouled Harper, sending him to the line with 11 seconds remaining.

Duke falters late against Kansas

Growth isn’t linear and after Duke proved in the first game of its western road trip how much it’d grown from its first big game to its second one, the Blue Devils’ third big game was a reminder of how much further they need to go. Duke lost 75-72 to Kansas on Tuesday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The part that killed the 11th-ranked Blue Devils was, similar to the loss against Kentucky, late turnovers by freshmen.
