College basketball fans voiced support for Rutgers when the team was left out of the NCAA Men\u2019s Basketball Tournament but the Scarlet Knights<\/a> failed to live up to the high expectations on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Hofstra upset Rutgers<\/a> in the first round of the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) 88-86 in overtime after the Scarlet Knights blew a five-point lead with 30 seconds left in regulation. Hofstra\u2019s Tyler Thomas made a three-pointer to bring the game within two and Nelson Boachie-Yiadom hit the game-tying shot to send the game into overtime.<\/p>\n

In overtime, Rutgers\u2019 Derek Simpson made a layup to tie the game with 32 seconds left. Thomas then came down and made a jumper to go up two points with 10 seconds remaining. Hofstra would hold off the Scarlet Knights\u2019 last-ditch effort.<\/p>\n

Rutgers coach Steve Pikiell thanked his seniors for showing up and playing their hearts out in a hard-fought game.<\/p>\n

“I was worried (after Selection Sunday) and they came ready to play,” he said, via My Central Jersey. “It was a great college basketball game, I know we didn\u2019t win, I understand that, but for these guys, a huge thank you.”<\/p>\n

Cam Spencer led Rutgers with 22 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Simpson had 19 points and four assists.<\/p>\n

Hofstra\u2019s Thomas had a game-high 25 points in the win.<\/p>\n

Rutgers\u2019 loss came after an outcry about the NCAA Selection Committee leaving them out of the field of 68 for the Division 1 Men\u2019s Basketball Tournament.<\/p>\n

New Jersey<\/a> Gov. Phil Murphy was among the Rutgers fans who scolded the NCAA for the snub.<\/p>\n

“#35 in KenPom rankings. Beat #1 seed Purdue on the road and nearly beat them again two days ago. And won against a number of strong teams during the season,” Murphy tweeted.<\/p>\n

“Rutgers should have made the Tourney. Period. Full stop.”<\/p>\n

There will still be a rooting interest for Murphy as Princeton and Fairleigh Dickinson made the men’s field. Princeton and Monmouth made it on the women’s side. However, Fairleigh Dickinson and Monmouth are in play-in games to get to the first round.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
