Piscataway, N.J. ? Jerome Coleman gave a performance for Rutgers’ fans to remember him by, and his understudy gave them a glimpse of the future.

Playing in what most likely was his final game at Louis Brown Athletic Center, Coleman broke out of a scoring slump with 27 points as the Scarlet Knights upended No. 9 Notre Dame, 95-82, Saturday for their first win over a top-10 team in more than 20 years.

Freshman guard Calvin Wooten added 18 points for Rutgers (12-14 overall, 4-10 Big East), which shot a season-high 54 percent and snapped a four-game losing streak with its highest scoring game of the season.

Chris Thomas scored 24 points to lead Notre Dame (21-7, 9-5).

“Everyone was saying we were dead, and they were ready to stick a fork in us,” Rutgers coach Gary Waters said. “But this team never quit. They thought they could go out there and play with this team.”

The victory, coupled with West Virginia’s 56-53 loss to Seton Hall, kept alive Rutgers’ hopes of qualifying for the Big East tournament.

Both teams are 4-10, tied for last place in the Big East’s West Division. Georgetown (5-9) is a game ahead in fifth place. The last-place teams in each of the two divisions don’t make the conference tournament.
