Rutgers freshman guard Kiyomi McMiller scored a career-best 33 points in her return to the lineup after missing two games with what the program called a coach’s decision. McMiller’s effort wasn’t enough for the Scarlet Knights to beat Nebraska as they fell 69-62 on Sunday. Rutgers coach Coquese Washington didn’t give specifics after the game as to why she decided to end McMiller’s benching.
