PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) After losing the top two scorers and rebounders from a 10-22 team, it appears that a rough debut in the Big Ten may be followed by an equally tough second season for Rutgers
Coach Eddie Jordan does not see it that way.
''We're looking forward to being more successful in the second year in the Big Ten,'' he said. ''We lost three of our top players last year, so it's a new team. We have seven newcomers. I like our talent base. We look good, deeper, athletic.''
The Scarlet Knights must replace statistical leaders Kadeem Jack, Myles Mack and Junior Etou from a team that upset Wisconsin at home before losing its final 15 games to finish 2-16 in conference play.
