Despite the disappointment of November, the Rutgers men’s basketball have still managed to keep hope alive in mid-January for a potential second consecutive March Madness appearance. A much needed road win on Saturday at Maryland pushed the Scarlet Knights to 10-6 on the season and 4-2 in Big Ten play. Make no mistake, with a NET ranking of 116, this team has a lot of work to do. However, the opportunity to get the high profile wins needed to generate an NCAA Tournament worthy resume is absolutely on the table.
As much as winning on the road is important, holding serve at home is equally so.
