Saturday night in Toronto, the Rutgers men’s basketball team fell behind 19 points in the first half against previously winless St. Bonaventure before mounting a comeback the rest of the way that ultimately fell short, resulting in a 80-74 defeat. It was a disappointing performance for a team that had struggled in two of its first three games of the season already. With a 3-1 record and the schedule about to ramp up in level of difficulty, it’s fair to be concerned about this team.
Losing to St. Bonaventure was not good at all, but is not nearly as bad of a loss as previous seasons to the likes of Hartford, Stony Brook and Fordham.
