Rutgers Updates

The next few days in the world of Scarlet Knights athletics...

Tomorrow: Rutgers men's basketball (4-2) takes a trip to Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton to square off against Rider (3-1) at 7 p.m. The two schools played the first basketball game ever in the arena in November of 1999, when Jeff Greer led the way with 16 points in a 74-49 Rutgers win. The Scarlet Knights will be looking for revenge after a December 2007 loss to the Broncs at the RAC.

Thursday: Rutgers football (6-5, 4-2 in BIG EAST) will look to lock up its fourth-straight bowl appearance in primetime as Louisville (5-6, 1-5 in BIG EAST) returns to Piscataway for the first time since having its national title hopes dashed by RU on Nov. 9 2006. It will be Senior Night at Rutgers Stadium and the final home game for fifth-year senior quarterback Mike Teel, amongst others.

Saturday: Rutgers men's basketball vs. Binghamton @ the RAC at 2 p.m.

We should know where the Scarlet Knights football team is going bowl-wise (if anywhere) on Sunday.

I want to see coverage here of NJIT's trip to Maryland-Eastern Shore tomorrow. It might be the worst Division I men's basketball game EVER.

Combined D-I record since 2004-05 (entering UMES' fifth season in this span, NJIT's third): 21-167. If you toss out UMES' good-for-nothing conference wins (eight of them, including losses by Howard) and wins over D-I indies (four, half against the immortal Lancers of Longwood), that win total drops to nine. In six full aggregate seasons, plus 11 winless games so far this season. On the bright side, somebody will win tomorrow. Sounds like an assignment for Brian Johnson ...
