With the leaders of college basketball providing some hope recently about their proactive approach to ensuring the NCAA Tournament will take place in 2021, it’s time to start focusing on keys for the Rutgers men’s basketball team to earn its first dance invite in 30 years. We all know the streak was set to fall last spring before COVID-19 destroyed that reality. Hopefully, the Scarlet Knights will get an opportunity to end it once and for all this spring.
While we don’t know what this upcoming season will actually look like from a schedule perspective, we do know that Rutgers returns seven of its top eight contributors from its first 20 win regular season campaign in 37 years.
