Scores nine points in loss Mag fouled out of Friday's 72-66 loss to Temple after recording nine points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and two steals across 29 minutes.

Impact Mag certainly had his chances to contribute but recording three turnovers and fouling out isn't as helpful for his team's first loss of the season. He'll still get plenty of chances to step up in a team that doesn't play many beyond their top six options, so things could certainly improve by conference play.

He was the team's second-leading scorer and rebounder while attempting more field goals than any other Rutgers player.
