Even a bounce pass can occasionally produce a highlight!
Rutgers basketball is off to an 8-3 start this season and is taking on Lafayette Sunday. So far, the Scarlet Knights have controlled the action with center Myles Johnson putting up a double-double with 18 points and 14 rebounds as the game action is winding down.
During the game, Rutgers’ Ron Harper Jr. came up with one beautiful pass. It covered a lot of distance as Harper passed the ball deep down court on a fast break.
The bounce pass split Lafayette’s defense perfectly and could not have been placed better. It found Jacob Young perfectly in stride for an easy layup:
