You may have noticed a decided lack in reporting on the Rutgers’ Men’s Basketball season. There’s a good reason for that: it’s been quite painful. At one point in the season, the Rutgers’ Men’s Basketball team was 8-5; then they started Big East play. In 2008, the Scarlet Knights have managed just 2 victories (Villanova and Pittsburgh) while dropping 13. Several of the losses were in close contests, but far too many were in blowouts like the one against Marquette this afternoon. Playing in Milwaukee, Rutgers shot over 50% from the floor in the first half and still trailed 35-29 at intermission. They managed just three (3) field goals in the entire second half. The final score: 78-48.
(The full story and box score are here.)
Youth and inexperience have plagued the Scarlet Knights all season. Luckily, they have just three games remaining i a season they would rather forget. Being at the bottom of the Big East they are not going to have any sort of extended season. Let’s hope that everyone on the squad learns something from this season.
