There are many reasons why the Rutgers men's basketball team is having an historically bad season. They are potentially on their way to the fewest wins for the program since 1987-1988, when they went 7-22 under head coach Craig Littlepage. Injuries have been a factor, with frontcourt players Deshawn Freeman, Ibrahima Diallo and Shaq Doorson out for the season and having missed the majority of games played. Their defense is atrocious and they have allowed an average of 89.6 points in seven conference games so far. Rutgers is losing the rebounding battle by more than 17 per game in conference play.
