Rutgers’ Ron Harper Jr. beats No. 1 Purdue on heave at the buzzer, sets New Jersey ablaze



The best buzzer beaters are the ones when the play-by-play guy just screams and we don't notice.

RonHarper Jr., the son of a former Bull, hit a buzzer beater to help Rutgers upset top-ranked Purdue on Thursday.

Fans rushing the court in delirium, with the bobbing head of the Scarlet Knight, as the bench ran on the court to mobHarper.

It was Rutgers' first win over a top-ranked team, and it came against a team that just reached the top of the AP Poll. There is another view.

RonHarper's son is RonHarper Jr. Yes, the Boilermakers have a projected top 10 pick. Jaden Ivey is a sophomore shooting guard and he went 5-9 for 15 points in the loss.

Here is the final shot byHarper.

I huddled these guys up, and I told them to give me the ball, and I was going to send them home. I threw one up after I was found quickly because I was able to cut up the court in three seconds.

Boilermaker fans lost on that shot to a team that is now 4-4. The fans crying about the clock operator should know that a little lag from the home crew is standard, and also just listen to your coach, Matt Painter.

If you allow the road to be close, crazy things can happen. It was a once-in-a-lifetime shot, but we allowed it to be close.

That was once-in-a-lifetime, but better yet, that was college basketball at it's finest.

There was pandemonium in Piscataway again.
