PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) After sitting out a game with a knee injury and spending most of the night shaking off the rust, senior Vic Law delivered for Northwestern with the game on the line against Rutgers.

Law shook off a dismal shooting night to hit a go-ahead drive with 4:25 to play and Northwestern held off Rutgers 65-57 on Friday night after twice blowing 10-point seconds-half leads.

"When your team needs you to win, you have to take the shots and shoot them with confidence," said Law, who was 2 of 10 from the field and finished with six points, 11 below his average. "It doesn't matter if I am 0-for-13 or 13-for-13, whenever my team needs me, I will try to step up."
