On Thursday, Rutgers travels to face old Big East foe St. John's at Carnesecca Arena in Jamaica, Queens. However, this game is just the beginning for this renewed rivalry. Both programs are now led by alumni of their schools, who starred in the glory years for their respective programs. Both coaches had varying degrees of success in the NBA, as a player and then as an executive or coach. Eddie Jordan, loyal son of Rutgers, returned to the banks to restore the respect and dignity of a once proud program. Chris Mullin, the greatest player in St. John's history, returned home to take on the first coaching position of his career.
