Rutgers can start booking its tickets to Indianapolis. The Scarlet Knights practically punched their tickets to the Big Ten Tournament on Sunday, when they defeated USC, 95-85, in Piscataway. They led for the final 22 minutes of a mostly-comfortable victory — a rarity in what has been a calamity of a campaign.

Dylan Harper's 25 points led five Rutgers scorers in double figures, and Harper dished nine assists to lead the Scarlet Knights to a 95-85 defeat of Southern California on Sunday in Piscataway, N.J.

Rutgers basketball hasn't locked up a spot in the Big Ten Tournament, but beating USC put it in a good spot to hope for a miracle run.
