The "What If's" in Rutgers Men's Basketball History

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.
