I’ve not been writing much about the Rutgers’ men’s Basketball team this season. (In fact, I don’t believe I’ve posted anything about them.) With Quincy Douby moving on to the NBA (how’s that working out?) this has become something of a rebuilding year for new coach Fred Hill. The team is currently lumbering along with a lackluster 10-15 record, 3-9 in the Big East.
Only four games—all Big East contests—remain before the conference tournament begins on March 7th and it’s difficult to see how they will even make it to the Garden. Mired in next to last place (only Cincinnati is worse) and with games against St. John’s (away), Connecticut (at the RAC), Villanova (away), and Notre Dame (at the RAC), the Scarlet Knights would have to take at least three out of four to have a chance.
None of their upcoming opponents is having a great year. UConn is a so-so 15-9 overall and just 4-6 in the Big East; St. John’s is 14-11, 5-7; Villanova is 17-7, 5-5; and ND is 18-6, 6-5. So it is possible but highly unlikely that RU can pull itself together for a final stretch run.
Let’s just say it now: “Wait ‘til next year!”
