PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- C.J. Gettys knows what its like being a low-major team going to play at a high-major school. Rutgers grad-transfer is from UNC-Wilmington, where he took trips to Georgetown, Iowa State and Iowa.So the fact that Morgan State jumped out to an early lead against Rutgers came as no surprise to Gettys.Deshawn Freeman had 22 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Scarlet Knights past Morgan State 72-58 on Saturday night.It was Freemans fifth double-double this season. Gettys added 15 points for Rutgers (7-1). Nigel Johnson had 12 points and Mike Williams chipped in 10 points.Its not nothing to lose, but any time youre a low-major school like that and you go into a big conference school you dont need any motivation to play as hard as you can, Gettys said. You have to go in with a chip on your shoulder and a lot of energy. Thats your fighting chance.Tiwian Kendley had 26 points and Phillip Carr had 15 points for Morgan State (2-6).Coming off the first loss of the season at Miami on Wednesday night, Rutgers appeared to be in a malaise at the start.I definitely felt a little sluggish, Freeman said. I didnt grab that many rebounds and we kind of picked it up in the second half. We have to pick it up in the first half.Morgan States jumped out to a seven-point lead three times in the first half, but after a 19-12 lead, Rutgers went on a 13-0 run to make it 25-19 with 4:27 left in the first half.They tapped on our chest and we had to tap back and I think we did that, Gettys said. We responded appropriately.Rutgers led by as many as 15, leading 46-31 with 13:46 to go.They are who we thought they were, Morgan State coach Todd Bozeman said. They dont have a lot of shooters but theyre big, extremely big. They rebound. They average 48 rebounds a game. Thats impressive.BIG PICTURERutgers: The Scarlet Knights are 6-0 at home for the first time since 2010-11 and have already matched their victory total (seven) for the entire 2015-16 campaign with their first game in December.Morgan State: Phillip Carr continued his defensive dominance to start the season.

Ryan Garbutt had a goal and two assists as Dallas snapped a six-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. MADISON, Wis. -- The running game is shifting into high gear at No. 6 Wisconsin.Coach Paul Chryst said the teams depth at running back, which helped net 363 yards rushing and four touchdowns in 64 attempts against Illinois last week, is the key to providing more consistency for the offense.I really mean it when I say were going to need everyone this season, Chryst said Monday. Weve been lucky around here and everyone whos followed (Wisconsin football) knows how important it is to have multiple backs.Corey Clement is the workhorse starter, while Dare Ogunbowale is a change-of-pace and third-down back. Freshman Bradrick Shaw could be the lead back of the future, and even sophomore Taiwan Deal, who figures to get more snaps next season, got a few carries last week against Illinois.Win their last two regular season games -- Saturday against Purdue and next week against Minnesota -- and the Badgers (8-2, 5-2 Big Ten, No. 7 CFP) will be heading to the league championship game. Chryst said the Badgers depth bodes well for the stretch run.I think they all bring a llittle something different which is good, he said.dddddddddddd There arent many positions we have on this team where weve got depth so any time you have it youre very thankful for it.Wisconsin recorded another stellar defensive effort in its 48-3 victory over Illinois. The Badgers are tied for third in the FBS in scoring defense (12.7 points per game).Ogunbowale said working against the Badgers dominant defense in practice also has aided the improvement of their running game.Those guys have been making us better. We hope weve been making them better, also, he said.Game notes Starting NT Olive Sagapolu will miss his fifth straight game Saturday when the Badgers play at Purdue (3-7, 1-6). OL Jacob Maxwell and FB Austin Ramesh are both questionable with right shoulder injuries, while backup OLB Zack Baun is questionable with a left leg injury.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
