Why You Were Meant to Root for Rutgers

Looking to hitch your wagon to a gutsy Cinderella squad? In that case, let's ride on the Jersey Turnpike and root for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

Rutgers' Tourney History

Rutgers has gone three full decades without a men's NCAA tournament appearance. When the Scarlet Knights last made the Big Dance in 1991, The Silence of the Lambs topped the box office. Nobody on the current team went to the theaters, seeing as they weren't born yet.

One would have to go back even further to 1983 to pinpoint the Scarlet Knights' last tourney win.
