Rutgers has made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 38 years.
Survive and advance. That is what Rutgers did in round one. Fans are still buzzing from an electric 60-56 win over Clemson on Friday night. This was a rock fight from the beginning and the Scarlet Knights held on for their first tournament victory since 1983.
Rutgers’ nation can now sit back, relax, and enjoy Indianapolis on Saturday, and most of Sunday. The Scarlet Knights are set to face No. 2 Houston on Sunday at 7:10 PM at Lucas Oil Stadium — and they will do so as a big underdog.
