The Rutgers men's basketball program is suffering through what will likely be its tenth consecutive losing season, and twentieth in the past twenty-four years. Rutgers hasn't made the NCAA tournament since 1991 and haven't won a NCAA tournament game since 1983. But it hasn't always been this bad. Most Rutgers basketball fans know they had a very successful run in the seventies, making the NIT four times and the NCAA's three times in seven consecutive seasons from 1973-1979. Post-season appearances also occurred in the late sixties and early eighties. Today, the program is sadly the worst college basketball team in a power five conference.
