When was the last time Rutgers WBB won a game with a palindromic score. That would be awesome

I don't recall one. I'm going to have to check.

According to my prediction worksheet,

RU defeated Houston in the last OOC of the 2017-2018 season by the score of 75 to 57, so probably December 2017.

Here's what I can find from the media guide:

12/20/86 RU 75 Syracuse 57
2/4/02 RU 65 Miami 56
3/9/04 Boston College 75 RU 57 (BEast final)
12/11/06 RU 65 Princeton 56

There are a lot of possible combinations, so it's possible I missed something.

Edit: I was working from last year's media guide, so I missed the most recent one!

As an aside, over the last 5 years or so, there's one palindromic score every 110-115 games, so RU has them at a rate that's less than the average.
