playing a part in Rutgers\u2019 stunning upset over No. 1 Purdue.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday night, the grad transfer played the starring role in the even more shocking sequel.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer made the go-ahead 3-pointer with 13.3 seconds to play, and the Scarlet Knights thwarted the Boilermakers\u2019 final two chances to save their perfect season by holding on for a 65-64 victory over the nation\u2019s top-ranked team again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was one of the best <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s I\u2019d ever seen,\u201d Spencer said, referring to Ron Harper Jr.\u2019s buzzer-beating half-court shot to beat Purdue in December 2021. \u201cSo it was pretty cool to do it again, here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This time, the Scarlet Knights (10-4, 2-1 Big Ten) were playing in front of a roaring, sellout crowd at Mackey Arena as Purdue charged back from a 10-point halftime deficit.<\/p>\n<p>But with Spencer, a grad transfer from Loyola (Maryland), and a little help from his new friends, Rutgers earned the school\u2019s second ever victory over the nation\u2019s top-ranked team \u2014 both coming against the Boilermakers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\"
