Exceeds expectations in opener Harper had 20 points (9-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists and three steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 75-52 victory over Wagner. Impact Harper converted on 9-of-14 attempts from the field, closing with 20 points and four assists on offense, while forcing three turnovers on the defensive side of the ball. The 6-foot-6 freshman, a consensus top-five recruit in the nation, showed fans why he was such a highly touted recruit in the Scarlet Knights' opener. Harper, who will lead Rutgers' backcourt alongside senior Jeremiah Williams, will be a key piece for the Scarlet Knights on both sides of the ball this season.
