Watch: Rutgers' Dylan Harper hits game-winning shot vs. Seton Hall

By Andrew Wright | Last updated Dec 14, 2024 6:05 PM ET

Dylan Harper is one of the best freshmen in all of college basketball, and that was on full display Saturday.

When his team needed him the most, Harper knocked down a buzzer-beating three-pointer to give Rutgers a 66-63 win over Seton Hall.

The three-pointer was good for three of Harper's 24 points for the game, a touch above his average of 23.4 this season.

Harper and his true freshman counterpart Ace Bailey (17.5 points per game) are arguably the best freshman duo in all of college basketball.

The win for Rutgers improved its record to 7-4 on the season and puts it in a great spot to head into Big 10 play at 9-4 with its next two games against Princeton and Columbia.

Seton Hall has some soul-searching to do, as it dropped below .500 and now sits at 5-6 for the season.
