Rutgers basketball reaches Postmodernity — and absurdity

It's just too easy to make fun of Rutgers men's basketball. Here are some stats that you can skim:

  • Rutgers is getting outscored by 21.1 points per game in conference play.
  • Rutgers lost by 22 points to Minnesota, the next-worst team in the Big Ten.
  • Rutgers lost to Nebraska by 34 points... at home.
  • Rutgers is the currently on pace to be the worst power conference team in the history of KenPom ratings.

The negative statistics are endless. We get it, Rutgers is bad at basketball, but what does that even mean anymore?
