College basketball official Jeffrey Anderson got tangled up in a play in the Rutgers-Illinois game Wednesday, but Ace Bailey was able to get a bucket anyway.

Ace Bailey keeps finding new ways to score. While the Rutgers freshman threw down another two-handed dunk and executed his patented turnaround jump shot for another bucket, he also unveiled his first drive while using the referee as a screener en route to the 82-73 victory over No.

The Scarlet Knights have two of the nation's top prospects in Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper, and they seemed destined to contend for the Big Ten. Well, things haven't really gone to plan for Rutgers so far this year as they came into Wednesday night's game against #23 Illinois at 11-11 overall and 4-7 in Big Ten play.

Bailey scored 24 of his 37 points in the first half as Rutgers picked up a rare road win 79-72 over Northwestern.

With the win, Rutgers is now 12-11 overall on the season and 5-7 in Big Ten play. They will look to start a winning streak on Sunday as they hit the road to take on Maryland, who is playing well right now. That one won't be easy, and they will once again need big games from Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.

Days after earning a road win over Northwestern, the Scarlet Knights (11-11, 4-7) fell to Michigan, 66-63, in Piscataway on Saturday. They fall to 2-4 in Big Ten home games, 3-9 in Quadrant 1 games and stay stuck to the bottom of the Big Ten standings as they look to earn a spot in the conference tournament next month.
