NEWARK, N.J. (AP) Myles Powell spent the last year growing irritated hearing how Rutgers was the best college basketball team in the Garden State. That won't be the case for the New Jersey native in 2019.

Powell had a game-high 28 points, including six 3-pointers to lead Seton Hall past Rutgers 72-66 in the Garden State Hardwood Classic Saturday.

"You only get to play that game once, and Jersey basketball is only so big - all the top players, they know each other - so to have to go and travel around the state just knowing that Rutgers beat us and people walking around saying that Rutgers is better than Seton Hall - you take it personally," Powell said. "So like I said, they left a bad taste in my mouth all year and I finally got to get them back, so it feels good."
