NEW YORK – The upset train has ended.
And so has Rutgers’ season.
After both No. 16 DePaul and No. 13 St. John’s knocked off higher seeds in the first round of the Big East Tournament, Notre Dame restored order by beating Rutgers 61-50 to end the Scarlet Knights’ season.
The No. 10 Irish (18-13) advanced to meet No. 7 West Virginia (21-10) Wednesday at 7 p.m. Notre Dame is looking at a likely NIT bid unless it can somehow get to the Big East final or win the tournament.
