PISCATAWAY — Corey Sanders didn’t mean for the moment to happen the way it did.
The junior guard entered his 72nd career game for Rutgers three points shy of his 1,000th career point as a Scarlet Knight, a milestone which seemed further away with each passing second he didn’t reach it. Sanders racked up just two points in his first 16 minutes on the floor against Fordham, leaving the 3,389 in the building holding their breath for the one final score.
He played uncharacteristically passive through the first half, constantly feeding teammates in favor of his patented habit of attacking the rim.
